hi

[@AJ-vi6eh]

@NirvanaGuitars can you do the nevermind tour Tokyo Japan 1992 tone please

[@christophercaldwell511]

Maybe CL will order one?

[@TheTraumaTizedNerd0132]

@@christophercaldwell511 i doubt it

[@VermilionVortex]

If only Kurt played Tele's more. Could you imagine if Nirvana made a fourth studio album with Kurt playing a tele?! Anyways, that replica is awesome, and you did a great job reviewing it 🙌

[@NirvanaGuitars]

If only! He probably would've, since his last favorite guitar was the Telecaster custom Earnie modded for him

[@pamosutil]

​@@NirvanaGuitars Do a replica of it!

[@kingcreates1379]

I believe he had one during the in utero sessions

[@NirvanaGuitars]

@@kingcreates1379 He did not, as the Courtney Tele was out of commission and broken beyond repair in Jan 93. He didn't receive his second Tele until late 93, and Earnie didn't mod it for him until 94.

[@cyrus1726]

he would probably use it on the Lollapalooza in '94

[@NazKidA]

My world changed the first time I played a telecaster... never looked back since. Although is a tele deluxe with humbucker pickups

[@blason56]

Its honestly its own beast, but a really cool alternative.

[@gradydeadsy6001]

Love my tele

[@darwinjoseph5379]

Playing Blew with a Telecaster sounds heavenly!

[@NirvanaGuitars]

Especially when that Tele is tuned to drop C 😈 🎸

[@realjehu]

@@NirvanaGuitarswith the high D# string too

[@cherrykoolaiddisasters]

This is my favorite Kurt guitar. The shade of blue is very nice.

[@rossbroadley6787]

2:16 sounds like something you'd hear in Crash Bandicoot hahaha! Excellent video. Khristore always crushes it.

[@chemian2009]

he also used a sg! i found it really jarring seeing kurt with a bright blue gibson

[@NJGAMER_12]

It's cool to hear Nirvana riffs a full step down

[@Robyn_iz_Here]

The Courtney Telecaster is my favourite Kurt Guitar. I love the colour and i feel like Kurt would've loved Tele pickups for tonal purposes as they are so great for the bright cleans and punchy saturated dirt tones are very alike to the tones seen in the 91 and late 92 leg of the Nevermind tour

[@samabbitt5587]

2:14 I love it where you spend up come as you are in the background and 2:28

[@The_Pope_real]

Amazing! one of the most under rated nirvana guitars!

[@NirvanaGuitars]

Definitely, it deserves more recognition!

[@The_Pope_real]

@@NirvanaGuitars Agreed!

[@liesofmassiu]

Drain you sounds so good played on this Tele, loved it. I wanna hear a full cover of it 🤘

[@danielktdoranie]

Nirvana was great live. I got to see them twice, once on the Nevermind tour and once on the In Utero tour

[@anssi8694]

I like your passion for nirvana and memory of Kurt, so much joy in your videos. Keep the fire burning

[@alfiemcallister7517]

This is definitely one of my favourite of Kurt’s guitars

[@kylewoodson]

Bro- bro- bro! I love this! The guitar, the tone, the short and kinda mysterious history of the guitar, just all of it! I can't express how happy I am to see this guitar here, or even know that Kurt used a Telecaster until your last video and now meet and get to know the guitar more. Keep it up man, your tones and you bringing more known guitars to light is always amazing and surprising

[@out-of-the-box4929]

Honestly it looks absolutely stunning. And I can attest to the quality of Harley Benton guitars, I bought this exact model in the classic wood finish just to trial if I liked how a tele played and I was blown away, for the price it honestly plays phenomenally out of the box, even better with some mods. Plus I’ve since bought a MIM tele and it runs circles round it for a fraction of the price

[@krispykrackers8826]

Haha nice, loved the jam you did at 9:45! Maybe we could get more jams when you review more guitars? It really shows off the capabilities of it ngl!

I am so honored to hear that! Thank you so much for watching and for the support, never stop picking up your guitar 🎸

[@thrillvilled111]

Honestly Khristore is an absolute gem for enthusiasts! Btw Eric have you seen the Nirvana - Final Unplugged (The Riot Earth Concert) ²³?

[@kj7303]

Just like the differences between the small clones from the 90s then the small clones from now Kurt is the small clone from the 90s and everyone else is the small clones from now there is a difference he could not of imagined a channel like yours and I love your channel man

[@laurensdalhuisen8073]

The clean sounds are amazing typical nirvana sound! You got the Courtney telecaster in your collection now, amazing!

[@antkiller7537]

I honestly thought you made another "time with Kurt cobains actual guitar" for a moment. That goes to show how real this replica feels

[@bbq4126]

Said on your other video Courtney gifted it too him for Christmas 91. She was mad when he smashed it.

[@SonnyBedwell-w6i]

dude i actually love this guitar and really wanted this to go on your channel 😭❤

[@I_am_a_Cooler_Dude_Than_You]

Are you going to cover the Greco/ Jesus Mustangs sometime in the approximate future? Those are my favourite Kurt Guitars due to their aesthetic. Plus Khristore sells both of them, so maybe you guys could do another collaboration? That would be incredibly awesome. Oh and gr8 video btw!

[@fewart]

Thanks for your shows! I always watch with great pleasure. I especially like to see the pedals and their settings. Please always show the amplifier settings too. Good luck

[@NWOWCW4Life1]

That guitar sounds fantastic and now I’d be interested if you ever did a what if live cover of Old Age with it. Keep up the great content.

[@angusjowitt450]

your passion for the subject is infectious. I was at the Auckland BDO when CL gave her guitar to someone in the crowd. a fine subject indeed, your content is awesome dude keep it up, from nz

[@SmoothCriminal69]

I remember talking to you a while back on a stream about what guitars you didn't have & I remember you mentioning this guitar. I'm very glad you were able to finally get your hands on a Courtnry telecaster. I also have to agree with what you said about Khristore's attention to detail. I've seen his guitars on his store & your reviews on them & they're the most accurate replicas I've ever seen. I'm planning to save up for one of his MTV Unplugged D-18e replicas because of how realistic & great it looks (though it'll probably take me a while since they cost about $2,000 lol) Anyways, I enjoyed your review/demo & hope you have a great day. Enjoy your new guitar!

[@NirvanaGuitars]

I am so happy to finally have this one! Like I say in the video, I honestly thought this is one I would never have because it's such a specific look. I'm so excited to have this!! I've partnered with Chris on his amazing Unplugged sets too. Coupon code "KurtsFullSet100" gets you $100 off the full guitar & case set, and "KurtsCase50" gets you $50 off the case by itself. I know those are not a lot in the big picture but hoping they can help you out a little bit when it comes time to purchase 😊 Thank you so much for the support, the kind words and for watching!! 🙏

[@1949bug]

Seeing the pedals on screen ready helps understand the amazing sounds coming out that guitar. Kurt wrote some awesome riffs👌 Thanks

[@TaiFlurfy]

GOD I love your vids SO MUCH man!!!! The little solo bit sounded great, I love how passionate you are over Kurt’s art and the tools he used to make it with. Keep going are far as your heart’s content can take you, you’re amazing!!!! ❤

[@DaLukeDaNuke]

Watching these videos has stunned me. Nirvana really hits different. These videos have even inspired me to get a guitar, and I am currently trying to learn!

[@Kash-r9j]

Please get kurt’s sunburst strat it’s one of my favorites

[@shinjiikari6894]

As a tele player, it’s always really funny to see a tele hater’s face when I tell them nearly every famous guitar player has owned a tele and loved it, with Kurt being one of them

[@alexander777-n3s]

Can’t go wrong with a Tele.

[@huckholbrook7138]

@NirvanaGuitars you probably are not going to see this but I have just started my Nirvana addiction. You make very good content!

[@Georgeisjawa]

Telecaster is my dream guitar.

[@UCzXVkBgACR256zX3LpxahjA]

There's a couple of details that could make that vandalism sticker on the left more accurate, the original font seems to be Helvetica Bold (probably the Neue version but it's hard to say for sure), not Arial. Really really close looking, but not the same. Compare the shape of the R letter and it becomes clear. The kerning on the letters is also a bit different. It's actually better on the reproduction version, the original one is way off. Check the huge gap between the V and the A on Kurt's. The one on the right seems to be taken from a picture of the real one so it's lower-res, but it's really spot on.

[@candrelsrosa]

If Khristore used the Harley Benton TE-52 model, for 70 dollars more you would have a guitar with string through body feature and the right machine heads, way better than the ones you have on that guitar. I'm saying this because I own one. Pickup-wise we're talking about the same pickups, so, no extra juice there. To be honest, those Roswell stock pickups on that telecaster line are simply perfect! I haven't replaced the ones on my guitar and I will definitely keep them there! Excellent video and excellent playing!!!! Kurt would be proud!

[@MichaelsMusic193]

Yes this is the best I love your channel! You’re my favorite KZbinr!

[@NirvanaGuitars]

That is an honor thank you so so much! 😭 🙏

[@THE-CRT]

Always wanted one of khris’ replicas, if I ever get the cash needed I 100% would have to get one.

[@cadenbenton6235]

This has always beem my favorite kurt guitar (besides the copper soungardarden parts stang) and it’s nice to see it get some recognition

[@euro51116]

idk how I feel about this one. I get that you're paying for the attention to detail and relic'ing, but $530 is pretty steep for what is essentially a >$100 chinese tele copy with the wrong body and headstock shape, and some latex paint on top that takes little to no time to scratch off. No matter how much set up and fretwork you do, they are still made of cheap woods and pot metals not worth the money of upgrading. All power to you if you're just looking for a neat, detailed wall decoration though. Kurts teles are my favorites of his, so I guess I am biased and take it a little more seriously than I should.

[@Kestrel069]

Eric: "I am blown away!" Also Eric: *plays Blew*

[@andrewpappas9311]

That Tele sounds great, those guitars honestly suit him pretty well but I loved that jam you did after Drain You. Definitely sounds reminiscent of John Frusciante and I love it, great job as always man

[@kennethguill8154]

Tele's are fantastic and highly under-rated. Very bright and punchy sounding.

[@paressehylton]

Under rated?

[@Arkaitz.M.A]

Harleys are made by CNC like other brands made them. The only issue of Harley Benetton is that they need an adjustment in entonation and sometimes need file the frets end. They are cheap but good guitars. Replica work is amazing. Great job from khristore

[@jimfromdiscord.8904]

The Bleach songs being played during the demo kinda reminded me of the tone Kurt had in his Dorm K208 show, where they played their entire set in D-Standard and Kurt smashed his Hi-Flier into pieces

[@Gabe275]

Great guitar, Great cover, Great KZbinr! ❤

[@blason56]

[@NirvanaTexas]

Telecasters have a very specific tone, I have a telecaster kit that I bought for $55 and yet I can still get good tones out of it. You made me want to buy that Courtney Kelly more. It sounds really good. I wish Kurt used it more❤.

[@krisfrederick5001]

I appreciate the authenticity. That being said, this guitar would be so much more pretty to me...without "Courtney." It's a shame she's still associated with his legacy.

[@Nachtx1]

I agree! lol

[@NWOWCW4Life1]

Eh they loved each other, were together and probably would have stayed as such if he lived. And I’m no Courtney Love fan myself. We know she’s a mess but I mean, so was the man Kurt himself. He wasn’t no saint either.

[@christophercaldwell511]

Kurt was planning on divorcing Courtney he didn’t love her at the end do some research.

[@seanmckelvey6618]

Get over it. They were married. She was a mess and frankly, Kurt was just as much of one, if not more so than her. Stop acting like the dude was some sort of saint and Courtney was some horrible she-demon who ruined everything. I love Nirvana, but Kurt was a pretty shitty person overall and doesn't really seem like a dude I would get on well with.

[@lyangalicia8074]

If you check again the Music Video of Come as You Are, I think that on the minute 2:34 of the song you can barely see Kurt playing the Telecaster at the background video. Maybe most part of the people here, already knows that I just wanted to mention it.😅❤

[@mikerophone235]

Great review. Interesting to me that although Kurt used the Tele pretty rarely, Jason Everman used one when he was briefly in the band...🤔

The Fender replica has some issues preventing it from being an accurate replica most notably the color of the burst. But..I own a lot of guitars and have played many years and for the money the Cobain Jaguar is a very nice guitar and sounds great as well. Get a pro set up and it’s amazing.

[@Loading895]

It would be really cool if you found a univox hi flier phase 3 just like Kurt’s first guitar

[@christophercaldwell511]

The Nirvana rabbit hole should also involve how Kurt was planning on divorcing Courtney before his expiration. I most certainly would never play a guitar with her name on it and I am sure if Kurt was still with us he would scratch her name off or put a Sub Pop LOSER sticker over it. That said it’s a nicely done replica but I don’t think it’s something I would want. As Buzz Osborne from the Melvins said Kurt was surrounded by a lot of negative people and situations that in his opinion wasn’t healthy.

[@Adren-Duraz]

I love the Eric jam🫀!

Haha thank you so much! It's one of my many little chord progressions I've thought of that I like to loop and solo to
