Fender American Deluxe Telecaster Tone Review and Demo

[@NobeeOneKenobi]

I watched this 10 years ago. Still such an amazing guitar and player! Sounds amazing. ❤ I wish I never sold mine.

[@sleslie23]

I like this guy's style of playing.

[@texwiller7753]

That's one great Tele. Wish I had that, no wait! I do!

[@kikalunas7449]

Me 2!!

[@goodboyringo9716]

Tex Willer .... let me guess ........ um .... You are old and just forgot !

[@TheScunion]

Played one for the first time a couple days back Love it Right off the the rack it played wonderfully Sounds awesome Worth every penny and will be my next major purchase

[@Mcuppet]

I picked one up in Dec of 2012 along with a Deluxe Reverb. This is one great guitar and the tones you can get from it are fantastic. Adding the Deluxe Reverb 65RI is one sweet combo. I love it and the rest of the guitars are well just hanging on the wall.

[@Doug5524]

I agree, love the telecaster and the amp use them both daily

[@BallistaBomber]

I have a G&L telecaster asat in that same color and pickguard, exept it has brass saddles and a maple fretboard and is a Namm guitar, bought by wagstaffs music in 2003, it is very well made in japan instead of korea, becuase they only made 5000 of them for shows, its an amazing guitar. And i got it for 200$ at a pawn shop

[@absurdplanet]

Nice demo--no show off nonsense, a nice variety of playing. A nice walk around--good job!

[@danielsmith9787]

I just purchased an American Deluxe Strat and it's now my favorite guitar to gig with. I also have a custom shop 60's re-issue Strat, and I enjoy playing the American Deluxe more! I like it sooo much I'm wanting one of the Tele's, is there anything you don't like about this guitar???

[@jamesnortonofficial1566]

This Tele looks amazing

[@rigorhead01]

Nice! My avatar is 2011 Am Deluxe strat. Absolutely love the compound radius fretboard. It is truly perfect

[@Musicstorelive]

That tone you speak of is the guitar, a small amount of the Pigtronix Philosophers Tone compressor pedal and the Paul Reed Smith Dallas 4X10 CAD amp with Derek Trucks mods. It's one of my favorite demo amps to use because you can dial in the gain accordingly, has a gentle and sweet reverb and is very dynamic when you lean into it. Thanks for watching!

[@SuperKevinface]

I got one. Most versatile, playable guitar ever. The S switch adds a little "mean" to the tone.

[@davidtonnfishin]

I just bought one on e-bay, Can't wait to get it, hope they don't screw me!!

[@davidtonnfishin]

Received my Tele, Holy cow its a keeper, Awesome guitar, Perfect for all types of music, Not as fat sounding as my Les Paul but hey that's not what a Tele is for, Now I have the best of both worlds!!!!!!

[@liammurphy5943]

Cheers Bob, nice work lad

[@catherinezetareticuli9003]

not a bad demo but as a mostly rhythm guitarist i hardly ever see a demo where you hear the chord tone

[@clayy000]

Yeah i really wish people would just play some chords for like 30 seconds, clean and dirty

[@clayy000]

***** well it's nice to hear chords since like.. You play chords in songs, it's also nice to see if you can hear each note clearly when a chord is played, not like a cheapo guitar where it'll get muddy and some notes cover up others, clarity is nice to hear

[@master_shredder7146]

Catherine ZetaReticuli Personally, I find that Fender does not bring the best out of clean chords, instead I would go with any Gretsch for clean chords, or almost any Gibson (preferably Les Paul) if you want to go heavy.

[@SideEffectsmusic]

So true haha

[@starwolffan13]

It'll do well no matter what... It's a friggin top of the line 'Tele and we all know how they sound ❤️

[@goodboyringo9716]

The rosewood fret board on this guitar is hard to find

[@markv.5962]

i have the same one with a maple fingerboard. love it. one thing. why does fender keep using those crappy input jacks? i put an electrosocket on mine. much better. will never loosen up. also the stock ones dont make a good connection with a right angle jack. the upgrade is about $6.00

[@johnnyrussler5534]

What kind of amp is he playing in this video? I can't tell but it sounds crisp.

[@SickMetalAddict]

+Johnny Russler I'm dying to know wht amp as well

[@SickMetalAddict]

Jason Sheffer I think it could be a Dr Z maz 18 through a 4x12 with Celestion G12H30 Heritage speakers

[@johnnyrussler5534]

+SickMetalAddict found out it is a Paul Reed Smith Dallas Amp

[@SickMetalAddict]

Johnny Russler Oh yea the PRS amps are very nice on the clean channel

[@liammurphy5943]

THAT TONE. What amp/effects are you going through Bob?

[@Musicstorelive]

sure. you can check out the "Hug Your Farmer" concert videos on KZbin and Vimeo. There's some good stuff in there.

[@kevinhealey3763]

I was hoping to get a demo of the s1-switch...

[@MrCopperthwaite]

Would anyone be kind enough to explain what is meant here by 'staggered' tuners? I can't figure out what is staggered about them as they just look to be lined up straight?

[@guitar78ish]

staggered tuners refers to the height of the posts. Usually in paired heights, the 4th and 3rd tuner posts are lower than the 5th and 6th, and the 2nd and 1st are lower than the 3rd and 4th. If they are low enough you won't need string trees, I'm guessing the one string tree on the 1st and 2nd are more of a sting guide unlike a string tree that makes the angle of the string off the nut a higher degree because the post is at a normal height.(hope that made sense) Also a string tree would be closer to the nut.

[@MrCopperthwaite]

guitar78ish Many thanks.

[@guitar78ish]

MrCopperthwaite the staggered posts on these teles are 3 tall and 3 short...I just bought the ash version of this guitar. The one string tree does increase the string angle across the nut, but not as much with the standard posts.

[@MrCopperthwaite]

guitar78ish Thanks, I have the aged cherry and love it. It's just the posts on mine look all in line? Is the difference so small as to be hard to see?

[@guitar78ish]

MrCopperthwaite with the guitar in playing position, the difference in the post height should be obvious.

[@62dodgedart]

I have two Squiers , they play great sound great , great quality .

[@smitty31560]

Pieces of $h1t

[@typeonegfr]

I LUV this guy ;-)

[@greezall]

jep

[@SideEffectsmusic]

What's alder body

[@SuperGroupieTV]

awesome

[@hmol1955]

Bob, isn´t there a video out here where you just play?

[@Tuesander]

This is such a great review. I want the guitar and have a beer with the player :) nice one. Thx. +1 for a video with just playing

[@fillippV]

👍

[@BodybuildingJourneys]

Come in Lefty?

[@nsc217]

Bobby!

[@stuartmckay9105]

This guy plays very similar to Greg koch

[@GenghisKon]

Duane Allman has risen from the dead.

[@grantgre]

Hot sound

[@Supervegueto1]

duane allman live !

[@noiseboy29]

sweeeeet!!! :)

[@RickDanner]

traded mine in nothing on this planet worse than noiseless PUs , sounds like the guitar is underwater

[@1991stratplus]

Rick Danner First i have never heard anyone complain about this guitar, I want a tele, would i be better off just getting an American Standard? I just love the tone of the tele. My Strat has lace sensor and I really like them, i think they are warmer sounding than the new noiseless PU's. They sound to bright and harsh, to me anyways. love your music. You have huge talent.

[@RickDanner]

1991stratplus thanks so much for the kind words ! You just cant go wrong with an American standard Tele !!! the lace sensors are nice but the tele noiseless PUs I think are dead sounding , like your under water. American Standard all the way !! And the S1 switching is really of no use.

[@1991stratplus]

Rick Danner Thanks for the info, American standard it is. As soon as i can afford one.

[@RickDanner]

1991stratplus also youtube search the Baja tele ! $799 by the way this tele in this video does sound better than mine did !

[@bastounet36]

Rick Danner you're really true dude, baja is a great tele, got one too since 7 years and it gets older magnifically

[@josephliptak]

I had one of those and I couldn't get it on ebay fast enough. The tone is artificial and that s1 drains the real tele tone from that guitar.

[@jeffreybiscoe6]

Bought one & never liked it after I got it sits in the case in the back room.

[@abelteklu3994]

lol he looks like a ginger version of George Harrison.

[@LRS905]

I thought he looks like Manson...

[@Yellomayo]

>"tone review" >plays with distortion the whole time

[@collegoflustandfear]

Just perpetuating the stereotype that teles are for blues wankers. They can do _so much more_.

[@ShallowDepression]

I think they're for guitarists.

[@collegoflustandfear]

ShallowDepression Good call.

[@rafasounds2010]

I wouldnt pay one dollar for this guitar, its awful as fuck, that rosewood looks like a squier The guy plays really well but I would have liked to hear some clean chords too

[@10GUY100]

I got maple fretboard it's awesome I think the best combine is this guitar with any fender tube amp the sound isn't cheap at all it sounds rich or bright if you press the s-1 switch

[@masterhorax]

Just needs some lemon oil and it will darken it up

[@davidtonnfishin]

Nothing wrong with rosewood, I love mine, I get nothing but thumbs up from folks, Maple is great as well!!
