So glad to see a review of this guitar that brings out its subtle clean tones. So tired of seeing crunchy or overdriven blues guitar in every review.

[@auxorion]

Yeah, it's *ALWAYS* the same tired old rock n roll solo. I swear I'm hearing the same solo on every single guitar demo.

[@6StringsTheory]

Thank God finally somebody playing with the clean tone.

[@Gman44044]

know right?

[@mariussolbakken5043]

Great demonstration of the various tones! And also beautiful playing:)

[@desmo999]

Faaantastic played with a really great Telly sound!!! And she is a real beauty!

[@JeepinIvan_MTB]

Just got this today!! My first Tele🤘🏽

[@Lalairu]

You got the best of both worlds :)

[@murderinc.hunting7686]

How do you like it? Is it worth the money. I have other tele's and I looove all of them

[@sacredinstrumentals1360]

Enjoy that

[@stevejewett3650]

I just got this today too! That's right, it sounds the way a Tele SHOULD sound! He's gushing over this for good reasons!

[@spyrosv7157]

I first watch a video of nick when he was just a kid. He grew up to be an amazing guitar player and musician. And he is demoing guitars for fender! Rock on man

[@johndavid9973]

Best review on KZbin of this guitar!

[@roqueeeeeeeee]

that humbucker with split coil is a game changer... now the telly has it all.

[@younicbic]

I'm falling in love with this guitar

[@JTEsterkamp]

Really love the part at 5:03 when the editor decided to leave the transition offline lol

This guy and this video is the reason why I got mine ….Tone and playin is top notch and you can tell he’s being honest

[@ejstar8917]

One of my favorite players!

[@rolandmartel2496]

I have this very guitar. Thank you so much for giving me something to aspire for.

[@rommelrivera1186]

Beautiful. Had to order one. I've been a Tele traditionalist, but Fender's work with Yosemite's and the Greasebucket tech makes these guitars very compelling. One can find these American models at great prices, so why not? Awesome demo. Thank you.

[@Ralphydub]

I just played one a few hours ago. Couldn’t put it down..

[@spost26]

When the reviewer is giddy with delight..... Good one Fender. I want Santa to bring me this guitar.

[@finishin.my.coffee8780]

I agree with him about the regular tele neck pickup. They sound ok but sometimes you can barely even see it.

[@williammeis1]

This man should not be allowed to play anymore videos on potential products. He’s selling me on things I don’t need!! Lol

Brilliant

[@lawrencebrett8993]

Nice to hear the clean tones of a decent guitar for a change! Too many crunch reviews out there.

[@Jayprov138]

I’m so getting this guitar. I wanna know what felt.

[@mhom5107]

what genre of music would you classify what he is playing?

[@jiri951]

I mean given that the strats with a humbucker at the bridge position are called HSS, shouldn't this tele be called SH instead of HS since the humbucker is at the neck position?

[@oldguysguitarvlog183]

You must have OCD like I do. I feel you, brother.

[@brenlouissurio2404]

Call it however the fuck you want.

[@davidmoseley4509]

But the humbucker is at the neck position.

[@darthmal1]

I immediately thought of the same thing. Continuity, dammit!

[@capitanvonchickenpants8492]

Nice

[@HeromeBolisayMusic]

what's the tone of the first 30 secs?

[@t0mpsy]

What song is he playing in the intro????

[@evilcowboy]

Is it me or does the top of the humbucker have 2 mounting screws while the bottom of it has 1? As a person extremely interested in engineering I usually try to find out why a particular decision was made when it deviates from the norm. 3 mounting screws on a humbucker...........yeah I got nothing. Its just odd to me. Other than that the guitar sounds and looks awesome.

[@What_If_We_Tried]

Love that hamburger tone analogy.

[@Mr.Steve-O]

What value pots are in this guitar? 250k or 500k or a combo of both?

[@wcvalentine5996]

The one al McKay(ewf ) played check him out.

[@MrRafaztar]

Where’s the blue prs?? Great to see you here

[@arisl2370]

This or surf green..they both look gorgeous

[@auxorion]

There's also a really nice like baby blue one.. but it's not humbucker. For HS this and surf green are definitely the nicest-looking

[@breegillespie4483]

Does anyone know if the bit at 2:14 is an actual song? Or is it just random?

[@yokohamaborn]

On Instagram I have seen Nick (the guitarist in this vid) try to emulate Derek Trucks playing style which is what he is doing here. Not a song per se but definitely a signature style of Derek Trucks. Check out Midnight In Harlem - Tedeschi Trucks Band (Crossroads Guitar Festival 2010) on KZbin and you'll see what I mean.

[@shellsjoint]

are you getting a loud output on all pick ups?

[@auxorion]

Another review mentioned that when you switch around from pickup to pickup, the volume is even. And the "greasebucket" tone control does the same - darkens the sound while still keeping it the same loudness. Still waiting on mine.. back-ordered for months.

[@shellsjoint]

@@auxorion thank you

[@brendansapp1426]

Scored one on reverb for 850 shipped

[@ggar1959]

I love the sound and the concept only thing missing is better color choice, yellow? Fender no blonde option for a tele, really... And a gig bag for $1200 guitar?

[@williammeis1]

I know the color options aren’t the best.

[@ggar1959]

Yea, I bought a Baja instead, I did play one of these guitars but I wasn't happy with the neck. The sound of the pickups was great but the electronics didn't work so I didn't get to test the tapping feature... Oh well I'm happy I bought the Baja, I think for the money it has a lot to offer, and I did get the butterscotch blond color...

[@lastofthe4horsemen279]

Not yellow ...Vintage White.And l agree The gig bag puts me off of this model .Hardshell case should come with a real guitar.

[@eljefeguapobarbon]

These things are like crack, get the latest and greatest model and here comes another that you MUST have!

[@andrewfernie4932]

Me at 3:58 : Oh.... OK! Didn't realise it had a tap. Additional point in favour.

[@johannher4502]

[@jettbenedict8443]

Does this have a gloss or Satan finish?

Gloss finish for sure.

Anything new though?

[@almas7123]

he's plugged into the 68 princeton

I should feed my Tele hamburgers for a week then

[@Shashli4ok]

why he has PRS tatoo on his hand? :)

[@spotmfd9431]

I really like the idea of this series especially the tele with a humbucker in neck. But I can tell that the humbucker is not a Tim Shaw design. It sounds thin and brittle like every humbucker fender ever made except for the Shawbuckers.

[@davea9946]

They are a Tim Shaw design

[@galbeeri8360]

I think i orefer the original pickup sound

[@unviversalyhappy]

This sounds a lot like animal crossing

[@MrSuperDLG]

Guitar Center has 2000 of my money and won’t send the product or give me my money back

[@iShowUnusualBehavior]

MrSuperDLG how?

[@MrSuperDLG]

I bought a product from them and they sent the wrong product. Well I needed the product for the weekend. I talked to a representative and he assured me that they will overnight on there end. So I overnighted mine and they didn’t send it. It caused me to loose money for sessions. They said something was wrong with the computers but when I contacted corporate my product actually came in the next day. They were suppose to send me a gift certificate and I never received it. SO I WILL NEVER EVER SHOP THERE AGAIN

How about a millenial can talk about whatever tf they want

[@Erniethebear]

Putting a humbucker on a strat or tele is kind of missing the whole point. Let them do the things they excel at.

[@thesolarengineer]

Don't gets the kids in a rustle with your logic and reason 😉

Great playing. But why do all reviewers keep yapping on about how guitars sound. Just play, -we can hear how it bloody sounds. In this case, rather good! But on a more serious note, you should give Donald Trumps hairdresser a miss..
