Top 3 Fender Telecasters for 2022 - Player vs Vintera vs American Pro II

[@ericmojave6061]

The Vintera’s bridge pickup sounds nice and warm. This is an important quality that the best tele pickups have. I like a bright neck pickup and a warm bridge pickup.

[@GuitarsRgood7]

I played the Vintera in Lake Placid Blue today. The first time I ever gave a tele a chance. It was really fantastic! It could be my next guitar.

[@oceantree5000]

Do it

[@oceantree5000]

Played and absolutely loved a 60s Vintera tele tonight… it almost came home with me. I loved the leaner, satin neck and non-lacquered fretboard.

[@oncameramastery]

I'm a Strat guy at heart, but there's something wonderful about the Tele's simplicity!

[@KRAZEEIZATION]

I bought the red Vintera 50s in 2019 and it’s a gem. The Vintera 2 which is launched tomorrow as far as I know has rosewood and vintage tall frets instead of the vintage spaghetti frets.

[@joshuathetelecaster5055]

The red telecaster looks fantastic and sounds lovely

[@SeasonedSalmon]

Vinteras a win for me. Best sounding set of pickups too in my opinion.

[@dnews9519]

It's like most Mexican fenders if you can find a nice lightweight one it will be a good sounding guitar but those are few and far between.

[@JaredSchumaier]

50s or 60s version?

[@SeasonedSalmon]

@@JaredSchumaier I like both but I do prefer the 50's personally.

[@oceantree5000]

@@JaredSchumaierI went 60s- perfect hybrid of classic and modern for me

[@deanlockamy2087]

If a man shows you his guitars and you don’t see a telecaster just calmly tell him we can’t be friends and walk away.

[@PyaePhyoKyaw-e3f]

Does squire tele count?

[@devilichus]

That red and Blue gets me all the time

[@robbyblack2699]

I bought the “Performer” with hum, and it feels better and sounds better than any of the others I picked up. The neck is thinner and so much more comfortable. I love it.

[@Tarantula_Fangs]

I just can’t help but just really like the Players sound, it’s so hard for me to believe it sounds so good for a economical guitar. I got mine one sale and to me it sounds like a $2000 guitar, I could always modify it, but I just really don’t feel it’s necessary, I loved the sound right out of the box!

[@LCD94]

Thank you!! Man it's a tough pick between the Vintera and Pro II!

[@Regdar404]

So what you picked after all? I am struggling rn. 😂

[@LCD94]

​@@Regdar404 it's such a tough choice hey! I went with the Pro II with rosewood fingerboard 'Dark Night' finish. So happy with it!

Thanks for playing clean throughout. Some of us tasty guitarists hate distortion!

[@zororosario]

The Vintera most vintage sounding of the 3?

Follow up! tl;dr epic tele I was at the guitar shop when they opened on Jan 2 morning, when I bought my Lake Placid Blue 60s Vintera Modified, and it is just spectacular; it’s pretty much my dream guitar. I played both of the above models as well as a few others, including the Ultra (which was a stunning guitar to look at- wow), and the Vintera was my favorite by far. The satin neck is incredibly silky in the hand and the pau ferro fretboard is actually quite beautiful, with great responsive tactility. The resonance of the string-through alder over brass barrels design is lowkey astonishing, quite similar to my hollowbody. For real. I absolutely love the tonal versatility, and find myself frequently using all six settings. It just sings through my AC15, too- made me put my Hot Rod Deluxe in mothballs. I’m a convert from a career playing Gibson and Epiphone axes, and I don’t think I’m ever going back. Hell, it’s three in the morning here, and now I want to get her back out and play.

[@forcemajeur.5138]

I love tele's more than anything and its personal preference but I can't bring myself to not have the ashtray on them. Don't know why.

[@f1sk8mm]

Thanks for the breakdown. I wasn't aware of that specific vintera version

[@tomeklawreszuk]

American Pro II definitely. Good stuff! ✌️👌👏

[@ThomasMetal75]

Any reasoning a 40th Anniversary squier tele got the snuff?

[@dzungpham]

do vintera 50s vs vintera 50s road worn have the same pickup and tone?

[@hakan6655]

[@tollan23]

I own an American Pro Tele (light ash body) and a JV modified 50s Tele. The JV wins, hands-down. Am selling the Pro.

[@KRAZEEIZATION]

It has to have 3 saddles, 21 frets, deep U shaped neck, 7.25 radius, Kluson tuners, and spaghetti frets. No tummy cuts or heel sculpting allowed! You know which one I like!

[@JaredSchumaier]

50s

[@surfinjim]

Thank you for this video. No Player Plus in your selection: probably for the same reason as for the Ultra ?

[@voiceofexperience]

"Noiseless" pups do not do real well when directly compared to their "traditional" equivalents.

[@kenrafferty2347]

I call bullshit Krupa

[@Jamalama555]

the combination of the neck shape and tall frets of the pro 2 made it uncomfortable for my hands, going with the Player. I go by playability first, tone, then aesthetics

[@oceantree5000]

Same. Played one tonight and really disliked the neck.

[@777sicilia]

Try the American Ultra

[@maraviyoso8473]

Don't you think he did?

[@jessesmith2906]

I’m surprised no original series on here

[@voiceofexperience]

The Player & the Vintera both sound great. The other one is just OK, a bit bland & "polite" for me. YMMV.

[@leelek4720]

Definitely American Pro 2 win, but twice price tag than Vintera.

[@Fatherflot64]

How can you coil tap single coil pickups?

[@maraviyoso8473]

Very simple. BTW, coil tap and coil split are two very different concepts.

[@joeneibacher6767]

Pro is the best!
