Fender Brent Mason Telecaster - First Impressions And Play Through

[@ernieflanaganstingraybassm1463]

Rich fantastic demo

[@michaelnelson3469]

I have one of these. Been playing since 1962 and have owned and played a lot of Fenders. This is by far the finest Fender I have played. Not just the bender and the pickup wizardry, but the neck shape (maple cap neck because it's a 67), heavy ash body (mine is over 9lbs) and just the overall feel of the guitar. I won't be needing any other Telecasters.

Great demo, Rich! Loads of versatility in that axe. Thanks for the great reviews

[@davidmurphy4844]

Sounds great unplugged too! Great review Rich!

[@RichBischoff]

Yes it does!

[@wyattheitkamp55]

Another one to the list of big Nashville session cats is JT Corenflos. His guitar even had a very similar pickup setup to Brent’s

Nice review Rich! Wow! That B-bender is wild!

[@glennw3909]

Uh oh….the hangtag came off. 😅

[@awesomeisasawesomedoesyo182]

Awesome playing by the way.

Good review Rich like you I’ve been a fan of Brent Mason since i first heard him play on CMT back in the 1990s i had a tele custom made in 1997 by a very good luthier here in Adelaide South Australia which was modelled loosely on the pick up configuration of that guitar and it’s been pretty much my main guitar ever since , the mini humbucker is just the best sounding thing ever i use it 90% of the time because of its rich warm yet not flubby sound and when you add a little grit to it it just sings plus i run a Kinman strat pick up in the middle which when i blend it in it becomes a strat with balls which in my opinion makes it a very versatile guitar the back pick up i have is a dimarzio stacked humbucker and again awesome pickup and blend-able with the Kinman thanks for your review just a reminder to all it’s not what you play on it’s just that you keep playing ,guitars are the tool you are the player .

[@awesomeisasawesomedoesyo182]

Very cool! Love it. Thanks.

[@mollers92]

I can't afford the guitar, but this has convinced me to get those seymour duncans in my tele for sure

[@jeffflint9086]

Some nice chops again Rich. Nice sounding guitar but a touch expensive.

[@RichBischoff]

I'm tempted to ship one of my Teles to Joe Glazer for a bbender install. Might be cheaper. 🤣

[@jeffflint9086]

Surprise's me sometimes how some small changes to a fairly standard guitar can increase the price so much. Guess there is some mark up for artist endorsement.

[@RichBischoff]

Of for sure!

[@Matthew_Scan]

Versitle guitar and Brent is a great player I used to have his wampler hot wired pedal regret selling it

[@bluessumlin...7067]

Awesome axe!🙂🎸👍

[@RichBischoff]

It sure is!

[@NoCoverCharge]

It’s on my next list ….damn dude you can play !

[@RichBischoff]

Thanks!

[@Matthew_Scan]

Another Tele I like is the James Burton

[@JackThomas-tg2zz]

So I want to be able to play these county licks but I also don’t want to spend 3,000 dollars. Is there any recommendations for a guitar that I can get those country sounds?

[@RichBischoff]

Get the Brad Paisley signature Tele, no b bender, but you don't need a b bender to sound country.

[@JackThomas-tg2zz]

@RichBischoff Thanks dude!!!

[@maverick2800G8]

Great licks, I appreciate the video! I have a 2014 Brent Mason tele, and the push/pull knob is actually in the middle. A printout I got with it says the far right knob is for tone, but all 3 of mine seem to adjust volume. Any thoughts?

[@E.K.izzlemynizzle]

2014? is it a fender? I thought this was the only line fender made for Brent Mason. They started it about 4 or 5 years ago. i thought

[@bobfurman2739]

As always,you sound great ! I always thought a mini humbucker in the neck ,would better than a Lipstick.Bought a Michael Kelly 55 Custom Collection with a mini ,in the neck and a full humbucker in Bridge.Has coil splitting on both pups! 8 pickup sounds .Please check one out ,if ya get the chance.Affordible ,and pretty cool !

[@edgeofeternity101]

I was wondering if fender made the mini HB or if it is sourced from another maker? I would like to buy a couple of those mini's.

[@michaelnelson3469]

All three pickups are Stuart Duncans.

[@Mark_Williams300]

You took the Tone Tags off ☹

[@rcnsucom]

you deserve to keep this guitar my man

[@RichBischoff]

Ha! I wish. Bucketlist guitar for me.

[@waynechurchill7212]

What the neck like is clunky

[@RichBischoff]

No, it's nice.
