[@musicalmiscellany]

That is one cool looking uke!

[@CircuitsAndStrings]

I agree. It’s really fun.

[@CircuitsAndStrings]

Yep.

[@LunaLuneraCazper]

Wow the sound is heavenly...

[@CircuitsAndStrings]

I like how it sounds too.

[@IrvSauce]

Can't wait to give one of these a shot. That butterscotch one is calling to me. Good demo, bud.

[@CircuitsAndStrings]

I think the butterscotch blonde is the coolest color for the Tele uke.

[@stevesstrings5243]

Nice little ukulele. Definitely classic style.

[@CircuitsAndStrings]

Now it just needs some strap buttons. 😀

[@aWildJosh213]

I've been wanting one of these for a long time now, they're so cool not to have. I like the look of these a lot, and also I didn't quit guitar and I won't be quitting anytime soon.

[@CircuitsAndStrings]

I am glad. Please don’t ever quit the guitar. 😊

[@aWildJosh213]

@@CircuitsAndStrings don't worry, I won't quit :)

[@RockStarOscarStern634]

The Pickguard will keep the Uke from getting scrached by the pick when you go to use one.

[@CircuitsAndStrings]

You don’t want scratches from shredding on the uke. 🎸

[@RockStarOscarStern634]

@@CircuitsAndStrings Right, I don't want scratches from using a Guitar pick. Using a Guitar Pick on the Uke will enhance the sound, and also a strap will support the instrument.

Very informative video, thank you! Been trying to get as much info on the Telecaster ukes as I can. I have some questions if you have the time! How heavy is it compared to a regular concert ukulele? I had my eye on the Epiphone Les Paul ukulele for a while, but when I tried one out at the store, I was surprised at how heavy and solid it felt (and frankly the weight turned me off of buying it). Is the Fender Telecaster uke hollow or solid?

[@CircuitsAndStrings]

Sorry for the late reply. It doesn't feel noticeably heavier than a normal shaped concert ukulele. It is a hollow acoustic. I feel that the top is responsive. That seems to be a big complaint of the Les Paul uke. The top is dead. I think that Barry Maz of Got a Ukulele is reviewing this tele uke this weekend. That could be a helpful resource.

[@etc7070]

@@CircuitsAndStrings I appreciate your reply! That was the impression I got from the Les Paul, it had a muted sound compared to the others I tried. I also looked up Got a Ukulele and found their review of it. Glad I didn't buy it online! I'll keep an eye on their channel for their review of the Telecaster. Thanks for the suggestion.

[@CircuitsAndStrings]

Generally Barry is hard on guitar shaped ukes. But I really like Teles, and I think it sounds good too. I think the biggest oversight was not installing strap buttons.

Hi my name is John Williams where can I buy the new ukulele the sunburst please could you let me know regards John

[@CircuitsAndStrings]

Hi John. Here is a link to sunburst Strat uke. shop.fender.com/en-US/ukuleles/concert/fullerton-strat-uke/0971653032.html

[@sarahton270]

Woa I love it!! Can we add some effect on the sound? Like saturation etc..?

[@CircuitsAndStrings]

Because it has a pickup and an output jack, this uke can be used with all sorts of effects pedals.

[@RockStarOscarStern634]

Wait a minute, you already made Telecaster Ukes, but Fender made them after you did.

[@CircuitsAndStrings]

Yes, I have made some tribute Teles in the past. But these are genuine Fenders!

[@CircuitsAndStrings]

I have never had a chance to play a ‘52 uke. I wonder how they are? All it is really missing is the pickguard.

[@RockStarOscarStern634]

@@CircuitsAndStrings A pickguard that'll keep the Uke from getting scratched when you're using a Pick to strum.

[@RockStarOscarStern634]

@@CircuitsAndStrings It's an updated version. How about a Sitarlecaster Ukulele? A Sitarlecaster is a Telecaster w/ a Buzzing bridge to make it sound like a Sitar.

[@Fyizze034]

Very cool video, I think im gonna buy the same uke in butterscotch blonde for myself. Btw, does anybody know where can I find tabs or a tutorial to play the 3:01 demo ? It sounds very cool but I couldn't guess the chords. Thanks a lot ! 😁

[@CircuitsAndStrings]

I think the butterscotch blonde is the coolest color for the Tele uke. As for the song, it’s a little riff that I wrote that I have never named. Maybe someday I will write out some chords for it.

[@b2theb]

woah...i'm normally a very patient man, but that unbagging of the Uke' nearly caused me to become violent...lol

[@CircuitsAndStrings]

I hear you. As I was struggling to pull out the box, I was thinking to myself, “this is why I don’t normally do unboxing vids”. 😆

[@b2theb]

@@CircuitsAndStrings a good video none the less! Thanks for posting.

Thanks for watching. 😀

Love that john 5

[@CircuitsAndStrings]

Thanks. I love how it loves and plays. 🎸

[@magosianogowska5523]

what’s the difference between stratocaster and telecaster? i nearly bought the telecaster uke today and when searching for it i learned that there’s a stratocaster too.. and now i’m feeling lost again and unsure which one would be best (yes, i’m a beginner. very much so). i’d be so so grateful if you could reply. thank you, m🙂 🙏

[@CircuitsAndStrings]

They both should sound similar. The Stratocaster should have a larger headstock and double cutaway. The Tele has a smaller headstock and single cutaway.

[@magosianogowska5523]

@@CircuitsAndStrings thank you so much ☺️ i’ll do a little more research (which will include googling “headstock” and “cutaway”! ☺️). with warm wishes, m

[@cafn8ed74]

Love the uke! BTW, is your unboxing tool a CRKT CEO?

[@CircuitsAndStrings]

Thanks for watching. You definitely know your knives. 😄 Yep, CRKT CEO. I’ve only had it for a week, but it is a super sleek knife. 🔪

[@cafn8ed74]

@@CircuitsAndStrings it is nice, but alas, I'm left handed.

[@CircuitsAndStrings]

Ah man. That must be annoying. I’ve been watching a lot of knife videos lately. It seems like lefties get screwed a lot. 😕

[@cafn8ed74]

@@CircuitsAndStrings meh, maybe screwed is a little too strong. There are plenty of great ambidextrous options, so if I choose one that I have to flick with my middle finger that's on me. I can't entirely blame the designer for ignoring a demographic that's only about 10% of the population to produce a product with cleaner lines, but whatever. Hey, where are we, The Nick Shabazz channel? 😄

[@CircuitsAndStrings]

What is one knife that you would love to see a lefty version made?

[@RICK12123]

How would a left handed player cope with this instrument?

[@CircuitsAndStrings]

A left handed person would have to restring it and play it upside down. Maybe eventually they will make a lefty version.

[@trumpfan4013]

What the hell is with the switchblade

[@CircuitsAndStrings]

I wanted to open the box with style. 😁

[@SHLEEEEEEP]

Can you use these with amps?

[@SHLEEEEEEP]

Like, do they have a jack cable output like regular electric guitars?

[@CircuitsAndStrings]

Yes, they have a output jack. You can plug it right into an amp and rock! 🤘

[@ibnufasya6408]

Fender just made this when you already made two electric tele uke lol

[@CircuitsAndStrings]

I have made some, but this is a genuine Fender!
