I ordered this after watching your unboxing. Waiting on my local guitar store to call me that it's in. I sold my first pressing of nirvana bleach for it. Considering i paid 15 bucks for it 27 years ago, i see it as a win. :)

[@sendtodevnull1269]

Nice! Sounds like it was a good investment to me.

[@stevemepstead2694]

Great demo Rich, great playing also. I bought mine a little before you bought yours, I watched your unboxing vid. I love my Nashville (same colour as yours). I’m an acoustic player primarily and have only ever owned 1 other electric guitar, a Les Paul studio and hated it from day one, I sold it on very quickly and stayed with my Taylor’s until a couple of months ago, I went to buy strings from my local guitar shop, saw the Nashville and the rest is history. Now I’ve played it (a lot) for a while I’ve noticed that I’ve become more precise and have a much lighter touch with my playing which has also transferred to my acoustic playing. Best purchase ever I’m really enjoying exploring electric playing now, still loving the acoustics also. Thanks again for the demo mate, awesome! Great hat also👌

[@johnSmith-yn7dg]

This model is primeO. I snagged up a white blond 2020 demo two months ago because of your original demo. I love the guitar and the 12" radius. Noiseless pickups, rounded heel joint, locking tuners, 22 frets with the tele and strat tones is incredible at this price point. This awesome guitar is definitely flying under the radar.

[@RichBischoff]

Agreed

[@sendtodevnull1269]

I just ordered the white blonde yesterday from AMS. After comparing this to the MIM and American players line, it seemed like a no brainer as it falls in between both in terms of price but beats both handily in features and uniqueness. Glad you like it.

[@jonniegibbins]

You owe me a new keyboard! I've been drooling all over it looking at that guitar - it's beautiful. I *think* the playing was good too but to be honest I was too busy fantasizing about that guitar :-)

[@UnluckyGorilla]

Ordered this baby today and went on KZbin to look up any videos of anyone playing. After watching you tear it up, I’m so glad I made the decision.

[@jakestadium]

Sweet guitar Rich! Those pickups sound really great for being noiseless. That bridge pup has a really cool cocked wah sound when distorted, really cuts through.

[@drzainnas]

Wow..your playing made this guitar so special. I salute you my friend. Best Regards from ENGLAND UK👍👍👏👏

[@MrYatesj1]

I just picked up a Fender Nashville (MiM) from GC on line. Got it for $500 and it came with a case. Not the Daphne Blue but it is a pretty butterscotch. Love the tones, I am going to install a toggle switch to gain a few move tones and flip the controls to have the volume first, then tone and have the 5 way near the bridge. . Hope you are keeping warm in the 0 degree temps.

[@RichBischoff]

Nice! I love the butterscotch ones as well. Not zero yet. But in the teens.

[@riverman6655]

That's a beauty.....great sounding tele.

[@grinningfool34]

I really like Telecasters. I’ve owned a bunch of them over the years. I’m down to one now but it’s a keeper. It’s a 2011 American special in vintage blonde. I love it. The neck is fantastic, and it sounds great. I have to admit, though, yours is more versatile with the three pickups, but I wouldn’t trade mine for it.

[@bluessumlin...7067]

Sounds great!.. love teles looking forward to hearing this guitar at your next gig!☺

[@richfrazier8756]

Ive had the Daphne blue Nashville telecaster for abou two months. After a setup by Atomic Guitar in AZ it plays beautifully. The action and intonation were off from the factory but now I love it. I lucked out and got it new with military discount for $802. Fende recently raised the retail overnight $100 to $949.99. Glad I got it first.

[@RichBischoff]

Whoa I just saw the price just. That suck!

[@gregriddle3042]

I just ordered a butterscotch and I’m very excited. I have a tele and a strat but I really like the tele/strat mix. I can’t wait to ride this mule on stage! Thanks for the review!

[@mikemph7779]

Cool hat !! Trying to choose between the two and three pickup configuration on the player plus series. I can see you and the other great guitarists with their own KZbin channel like the 3 pickup versions. I can see now switch position numbers 2 and 4 sound really cool. Thanks so much for your videos. !!

Nice playing as always and congrats on the new ax. The daphne blue is definitely eye candy.

[@robertclarkguitar]

That neck when you sweeled volume up to gain full it sounded superb!!! Killer axe!

[@d.wilson1402]

Rich I own one that is white and it's a badass guitar and I think it's very underrated. That flat fretboard plays fast and it has an awesome variety of tones as you know.

[@glennthrush7995]

New to your channel - but you are a terrific player - which makes a difference - Tks!

You play so well. So smooth. Thank you so much.

[@ethelwulfmountbattenderoth2286]

I bought the 2 tone sunburst/maple neck Nashville Tele in 2017 from Sweetwater for 799 dollars. I just looked it up and now it's going for 949! It's my first, "Real Guitar" and although I really don't have anything to compare it against, I really like it.

[@RichBischoff]

They are good guitars!

[@1alexanderkup1]

My main workhorse for 5 years, the only downside is that it's EXTREMELY HEAVY for telecaster. And this is a thing to consider before getting one. Not only mine, but I've heard a couple of complaints from other owners

[@stevemiller1203]

I got one from Sweetwater and since they show you the weight of the guitar I picked one that was 7.6 lbs., not bad at all for me

[@clemdewitt4522]

Rich...as always, a great review and great playing. I will be getting one of those!

[@mike1967sam]

Hey duderino, what's up? Just the other day I promised myself that I wouldn't buy a guitar for one whole year because in the space of the last month and a half I bought a PRS McCarty 594, a PRS Custom 24 and an Ibanez AZ 2204 Prestige. The Ibanez arrives tomorrow. I have an old tele that's been upgraded and it's just amazing because it has that old feel on the neck and such. Also, I have a H. Benton TE90 FLT ... but I am so besotted by the Fender Deluxe Nashville Tele that I don't think I can help myself. I don't get it, in the 90's when I had loads of gigs I had 2 electric guitars and one acoustic and it was fine now I'm like some "guitaraholic". Nice vid, even nicer guitar. Mike.

[@RichBischoff]

Hello my name is Rich and I'm a guitaraholic... in hear you man.

[@jonathanhudak2059]

Nice video...not a bad looking guitar even though I am not a Tele guy but it sounds great. Nice tasty playing as well Rich! :-)

[@TheMidnightModder]

Pretty much a hardtail Strat with a Tele bridge. I like it And I can tell that you're definitely an audiophile xD

[@grahamhodgson9154]

Thanks Rich, I can really hear the tones on all of your demo’s, the Nashville telecaster is truly a versatile beast and I think the Strat bridge can’t match the Tele for rock. The only issue I have (and I suppose many others in Australia) is the crazy prices from the importer here. These Nashville’s are around AUD$1500 street price.

[@RichBischoff]

Fender and the importers need to get there shiz together it sounds like.

[@officialWWM]

I paid $1600 for mine but that’s actually pretty much the same as US prices when you take into account the exchange rate and taxes etc.

[@sendtodevnull1269]

Just ordered the white blonde with a maple fretboard. Can’t wait until it gets here. Nice review brother.

[@RichBischoff]

Thanks!

[@MrLittleBigMan97]

So I play metal mostly but a lot of it is atmospheric and we use a lot of clean tones in our songs and I think I'm gonna pick one of these up to have a more unique sound vs. more metal oriented guitars. I love vintage tones and this tele is just calling my name.

[@RichBischoff]

Yeah, this would be a good Telecaster for that.

[@davidmurphy4844]

Very versatile guitar and it sounds really good clean and dirty, but you persuaded me to buy the fiesta red Squier Cabronetta Paranormal Thinline Telecaster! Bought a set of Gotoh SD-91 tuners as the ones it came with were a bit dodgy so will fit them at the weekend.

[@davidmurphy4844]

The Paranormal plays great, sounds fantastic across all three selections , is nice and light plus it looks extremely cool!

[@stephanematis]

Great tone hat you have there :D I also have been taking to wearing hats in the house. This guitar sounds super versatile in your hands. I guess you now have a good to go gig guitar. Will it be your primary ? And if so, what would you bring as "backup" ? Lovely rockin' x-mas outro! All the best!

[@RichBischoff]

Thanks! My main for now, but depends on the gig. Probably a strat as a back up.

[@richardjeffery5594]

I ditched the standard 1 meg pots and fitted 250k’s along with a treble bleed and a mini switch to give the bridge and neck option. This was the first US Deluxe Tele wiring from Fender’s website. Transformed the guitar.

[@jc6721]

Hi, did you use 250k pots with these same noiseless pickups? I am thinking about putting a set of these fender deluxe Nashville noiseless pickups in my Nashville partscaster. I want to add a push pull tone pot to do the neck on mod. I thought these pickups would take 500k pots. should I try a 1meg p/p pot, 500k, or 250k? You don’t find that the 250k pots make the pickups too dark? Thanks

[@ottostomp6093]

Nice demo!! Thank you for that. I got the exact same guitar. Like it, but I'm kind of struggling with the pickup height. What height do you use? Nice t-shirt too, merry x-mas from Holland.

[@RichBischoff]

Not to high. I think they are still at the hieght the factory set them at.

[@Shred_The_Weapon]

Because you do some of the coolest reviews, Rich, I would easily consider a Tele like this one. However, I’ve become slightly spoiled by the “Frankenstrat” (no, not an EVH model) that was assembled for me in July 2019 with pickup selectors inspired by Brian May. With 2 other “blade switch models” in my current arsenal, it’ll be tough to get me interested in another. You must think the middle position really sings, so you sing it too. Hehehehehehehe!

[@gfd165]

I bought this guitar in white with maple fingerboard. Great guitar. Only change I would make on this guitar is to sacrifice position 3 on switch because I love the sound of both neck and bridge pickup on a Tele. The strat pickup is great in 2&4 position. But Tele players need the neck and bridge sound also. Hope I can figure out wiring! thanks for review. Great video

[@malawright7071]

This is my next one. But the 2 color sunburst. I'm pumped. My wife surprised me with the Epiphone SG Worn Classic with the two P90s and i love it, and I also currently have a Squire Mustang with two humbuckers which was waaaaay better sounding than I thought for $150.

[@juancarlosmontero7895]

What a great playing, Rich. Love your tone. Just a question: what do you think of the relation action/playability on this guitar? Recently I bought one: love its tone, and the neck plays like butter, but I hear a little bit of fret buzz from the factory setup (but the intonation is perfect). Do you think that this natural fret buzz is acceptable?

[@RichBischoff]

I'd do some tweaking. I did little set up when I got mine.

[@tdang9528]

I bought it for almost the same reason. Daphne blue, three pickups with fender noiseless. I pretty much bought it on the spot but knew I had to customise it for me. Things not for me, its a bit too heavy. I play the pro mod mexican charvels which have the neck profile perfect for me. Would probably replace the neck with a shredder satin maple neck from warmoth. The locking tuners are great, its nice even to the smaller round vintage looking tuning pegs.

[@mikegeeguitarman8991]

Salutations you fine player of great taste !

[@rick00770]

I tried one just like this except white color at guitar center here in kennesaw ga. Needed string height adjusted, but man the tones. I've got an 2021 player plus top hss maple neck, thinkinking about trading. Love the stat but can't decide, this tele is a killer guitar. Thanks for demo.

[@rick00770]

P. S. Awesome playing there. I’m 70 years old self taught , played for 54 years approx. I’m still jus an intermediate. Played mostly top 20 stuff back in the day. Just like the blues rock stuff now and enjoy stepping out playing some country and classic rock once in a while. Take care bro.

[@TheDeedeeFiles]

Wonderful guitar.

[@jc6721]

Hey Rich, I just found your channel and am really enjoying it. Which pickups do you like better, these from your Fender Deluxe Nash Tele or the Fender Ultra Noiseless from the American Ultra Tele you reviewed a while back. I was think that one could make a Nashville set with the Ultra Noiseless Neck and Bridge pickups and add a noiseless Strat pickup if those Ultras are all that much better? Any thoughts? Also, do you happen to know what k ohms push pull pot I would need to add a p/p tone pot so I can wire these Fender Deluxe Nashville Tele pickups with a “neck on” mod to get the 7 sound switching? Thanks

[@RichBischoff]

I like them both but the Ultra pickups seemed to bright to me. So I probably like the Deluxe Nashville pickups better. I don't know anything about pots, sorry.

Yeah, but you'll eventually want a real strat.

How noiseless is...noiseless pickups?. You got some hum in the background but is sounds like it´s coming from something else. Makes it a bit difficult to focus on pick up noise. Fine playing though! like the hat too
