Enjoyed your video. Thanks. !!

[@harlanjackson7085]

The pick up test with the multimeter is very informative! Il try it with some of my guitars that are pretty much the same model but sound different.

[@CesarOliveira-l7h]

Thanks multimeter demonstration. That was really great.

[@guitarhoarder1972]

@CesarOliveira-l7h you're welcome. I will shoot another video with more in depth info when I get a chance.

Great to see your getting more subs. You disserve it!

@guitarhoarder1972 Check out my bands new film clip on youtube. Its called "The Shallows" by Bourn Again Hypocrite. I play all the lead guitar. Its screaming heavy metal.. not sure if its your thing. But you might like my playing.

@harlanjackson7085 Wow! I just listened to your band, dude! That shit is ripping! Great guitar tone and playing, too! ty for sharing.

Enjoyed that shootout. When you do your relicing video I hope you can use the squire panted black. I have two squire telecasters in black and the paint is thick. I got the loaded bodies only and they have some big dings in them. I was thinking of relicing them instead of full repaint.

[@guitarhoarder1972]

@dane6k6 thank you. I will see what I come up with for a guitar to relic. I do have a cheap Ibanez in black, that could be a candidate. ty for the view and nice comment.

[@TooLooze]

The old tele sounded a little snappier, probable due to the neck cover removal. Great job on the comparison!

[@guitarhoarder1972]

@TooLooze They are pretty close, honestly . They feel almost identical in the hand. mine feels more broke in, but that is just preference. ty for the opinion ! Jake

[@BurninSven1]

How a guitar sounds depends on how you play and the acoustics in the room where you play on it, the amp, if you use a pick, how soft or stiff it is and what it is made out of or if you fingerpicking and how your fingers interact with the guitar. I think both guitar sounds great I got one of them too I gave it to myself as a Christmas gift, they where on sale so it was a lot of guitar for very little money lol..

[@guitarhoarder1972]

@@BurninSven1 I agree, a lot of factors involved. that's why i hate comparing guitars. I was asked to do this shoot out. lot of bang for yur buck.

[@A-Wall]

I would love to see your relic'ing process. That's the best non-nitro relic job 've seen.

[@guitarhoarder1972]

@@A-Wall Thanks! I am looking for a cheap tele or something to relic soon. I have had a lot of requests, so I will try to come up with something and show you guys my approach to relic work .

RIP John Sykes tone monster on 78 LP Custom.

[@guitarhoarder1972]

@@Csharpflat5 Yes indeed! Sad to hear of his passing. He was a great player!

[@jltrem]

How did you do the crazing on your Tele? Freezing? Very impressive.

[@guitarhoarder1972]

@jltrem feezing, heat, razor blade. etc. I will do a vid soon

[@jltrem]

@@guitarhoarder1972 Gee, I didn't think freezing worked on poly. I'm not really a relic guy when it comes to my own guitars. If I put a ding in one I have to go to bed for a week.

[@hankreus7196]

Based solely on cost expense versus tonality, quality sturdy construction, flexibility of “genre” , nothing comparable to a decent Telecaster. You can spend more on other designs but the subtle differences in tone are mainly only appreciated by nerds and snobs such as me self, IMHO RIP Garth Hudson

[@guitarhoarder1972]

You are 100% correct in my opinion. Just heard about Garth Hudson. R.i.p. #theband

[@PaulMihelic]

To me the modded one sounds pretty much the same except the modded sounded a little louder

[@guitarhoarder1972]

@PaulMihelic Thanks, Paul. they are pretty close. I like the feel of both, honestly. Hope all is well!
