Fender did an excellent job with the pickups on these 2019 Performer series Telecasters.

[@germanllanosmusic]

Just bought one in Reverb. Didn't get the guitar yet. I was going to change the pick up for Lollars.... but you say you like them. Are those hot, swampy, what's you feel about them?

[@chrisdidonna7386]

Awesome guitar, bought one had the frets leveled and polished, along with a good setup. Well worth the price.

[@AndrewMooreLearningLicks]

What a lovely guitar with amazing tones and versatile af, love it 👍🏼

[@Karlgolden]

Thank you so much

[@lebowski2007]

After realizing this colour is not a flat finish, I placed an order at my local guitar store for this exact model. It’s an amazingly easy to play guitar with great tones and flexibility! Thanks for posting this video, it was well produced!

[@Karlgolden]

Linda guitarra 🇧🇷 Beautiful guitar

[@HenriqueWernerbr]

Killer review, man! Good taste for tone too. Do you think this tele with humbucker got output volume similar to a les paul output volume?

[@Gman44044]

I'm also curious to know the same

[@DEZZA12]

Amazing

[@Karlgolden]

It’s very cool 🤘🎸🔥

[@GearGasms]

Yo Sim It Tee. It’s a Yank thing! It’s the name of a National Park. Great playing, my brother from across the pond!

[@Utubewrk123]

Could u take us with you next time you go to a guitar showroom?

[@robertwellington2616]

Karl can play that’s for dam sure.

[@enricofiori7641]

Thank you for this very interesting video! In your opinion it’s better telecaster American performer or Vintera? Thank you again

[@Karlgolden]

Welcome! It's ok man not my thing

Love the guitar I just got my first tele I just can’t stand the humbucker in the neck otherwise sick guitar

[@Barefoot67]

why cant you stand the humbucker when you can split it?

[@xav3ng3rx]

Would like to know as well. Looking at this guitar at the moment. The bucker adds versitility. No?

[@mv7853]

@@xav3ng3rx I have it and would agree it adds to the versatility

Telecaster SH*

[@robertrraineyjr967]

Some of us like options in the neck pickup. That doesn't mean you have to, SH*. It's easy to be nasty online when you can remain anonymous. I'll bet there are teles out there that you would like. Maybe even in a color you desire. Options make it possible to please many more players, some like them with Bigsbys, some hard-tail, some compensated saddles, some not. With so many after-market products that come with pretty easy instructions, we can take a guitar that's "almost" like we want it and turn it into our "dream" player. This one comes in four colors, with both rosewood and maple boards. If not in the combination you prefer, aftermarket necks are available so you don't have to pay a premium for a custom telecaster. Even those of us with a "Champagne taste and a beer budget" can have what we want. Look at how many have kept the stratocaster and telecaster alive from their humble beginnings. I'm amazed that variations keep popping up to blur the lines, like the "Nashville Tele" with 3 pickups, the John 5 version with 3 humbuckers and a Bigsby, and now they've introduced an acoustic telecaster! Guitar players still love the telecaster or they wouldn't keep making variations. There are Teles now with six individual saddles to share from the Strat. Different metals are being used for us to change things up, and I saw one manufacturer of strings reintroduce the old monel compound in strings that takes me back to the 1950s. I'll never forget seeing my first Les Paul with the white P-90s and goldtop finish. But do you know what brand amp was being used? A Fender! Leo really can be appreciated for starting us out, but all those inspirations that came along later were also taking care of even more players. Surely one or two of these would strike your fancy and pop a smile on your face. How cool would that be? Huh? Remember the 1972 Custom Tele with the dedicated humbucker in the neck? I always wanted to see someone successfully make a split-coil option of that guitar. Now, here it is at around $1k. Awesome, to me. Why not try one in your music store. It might surprise you.

[@chanceaskew8738]

Robert R Rainey Jr Pretty sure he was correcting HS into HS because the Humbucker’s not in the bridge

[@derrickharmon7980]

Lol that's funny was about to write the same my OCD always start at bridge and love the fact the dude that commented Robert whatever just missed that one by a mile, it's ok Robert your probably married to a crazy Karen that beat you into brain damage

[@JTMP12]

Yoh-seh-might pickups 😂

[@Karlgolden]

😂🙈🙋‍♂️🤷‍♂️🕺🎸🔥📈

[@christianjamet884]

le son disto c'est merdique fait pour les bourrins et ne traduit rien des qualités acoustiques de la guitare, encore moins des performances des micros.

[@andrescarabelot5743]

The only missing thing would be compensated saddles. The intonation is not quite right and chords sound awfully out of tune.

[@Karlgolden]

I don’t think it’s awful but I know what you mean

[@frajem]

So does it have problems with intonation?

[@benallmark9671]

@@frajemnot at all

[@xblackcatx1312]

That tan color is absolutely horrible. Very lame. What a waste. If they made this in honey burst, I'd likely buy it.

[@Karlgolden]

I have to say I’m not a fan of the honey burst but they do have it for this Telecaster series in that colour 👍

[@robertrraineyjr967]

It's a vintage white coloration, which comes out as a yellow finish. What "tan" are you talking about?

[@xblackcatx1312]

Well, I messed with one just like this at the store and it looks much better in person. It wasn’t bad. For a grand though, I’d want a cooler color. The tan is the color of the guitar as I see it on both my iPads. Tan, butter yellow, off white maybe....whatever. That’s what it looks like on my screen.

[@sugarlife485]

its a beautiful color

[@mynamesjondowell]

Much better in person. I have this exact guitar. It's amazing
