The Fender Telecaster - A Complete History

[@loudmikedxb]

May I just say I find it almost criminal that this video does not have more views. It is well written, well edited and nicely voiced, but more importantly it is very very insightful. The info here is fresh, and not a mere recycling of other Tele videos, not to mention original in your portrayal of the musical movement in the 60s and how this instrument played a role in it. As a content maker myself, I have a lot of admiration for the work that went behind this video. I know how much time you must have spent on this edit! And as a guitar lover, thankful for you doing the research and shedding new insights on the Tele. Please keep making more videos and lots of luck to you!

It's also badly researched and inaccurate.

Can't imagine for years and years and all the videos out there no one has ever made a video about telecaster guitars and the history of them. Probably won't be long until there's thousands of videos just like this one all over KZbin. Probably so many people will get bored watching them until someone comes up with something new.

Thanks for creating this video on the Fender history. You packed a ton of history into this production. I Can’t believe I just found this video today and I’ve been researching all kinds of discussion regarding the post CBS era of Fender. I bought one of the American Standard Telecasters back in 1988 and my researching revealed some interesting facts about 1987-88. They started making the American Standard Telecaster in 1987 with very low production numbers, but with high quality hand-picked woods and materials, but it wasn’t until the 1988 production that they added to the Fender catalog. The neck on the 1988 (E 3XXXXX) Tele I have was shaped by Herbie Gastelum who worked for Fender from 1951-2018.(57 years) He was famous for shaping the necks and was nicknamed “The King of Feel”. He’s retired now but still with us.

The telecaster is truly a perfect musical tool

Thanks for focusing on some artists and genre that isn’t the same as every other Tele video.

Great vdeo! I'm looking for a thorough video on the Squire Thinline Cabronita Tele. A very nice guitar that is sadly very over looked.

Nice video. I'd like to get one someday. Though sometimes I wonder if I'm learning guitar just to start collecting them. I recently discovered a Japanese guitarist named Miyavi who uses an interesting custom Telecaster. Fernandes Sustainer at the neck, along with a '65 Strat single coil and Seymour Duncan humbucker. As well as a tremolo.

I was all about Ibanez for years, then I bought a squier tele. The telecaster is a must have guitar

[@demej00]

I have one, 20 years old, never played, in a closet in a friends house, 13000 miles away.

You removed the bridge for a P90?? Interesting, I removed the neck for P90

[@andreasfetzer7559]

You forgot Mike Stern, Danny Gatton, and most of all ed bickert

"Affordable"? The original Telecaster would have been more than $1600 in today's dollars. Imagine people paying that much for a couple chunks of wood and some wire.
