There aren’t many good audio samples of this model so I figured I’d put something on here for it. Audio is uncompressed and with no effects.

this just convinced me to buy a set of tex-mex pickups for a re-claimed pine barncaster project - thank you!
Like you said, very little on YT for this combination. Thanks for the demo!
idk why but the angle makes the tele in the back look tiny
I just got this set. I just have a complaint regarding the pickups been too microphonic. Was it for you as well?
Hey Josh. Just purchased one of these D18 VT Adi used 2022 but was like new . Sounded really dead to me but arrived with not so great light gauge strings. Played it for a few days and changed out medium better strings for lights. Sounds better but......Unfortunately past my time to send it back. Was hoping the Adi top would open up soon. Wondering if I got a dud like your first one. Really like the neck but dry dead sound not sure I can get used to. Had a 2022 stand D-18 that had much more punch and brightness. Wondering if these guitars are made the standard bracing to replicate the dryer duller sound of the 1930 style.
Very nice to see what these sound like on an epiphone!
Man, that sounds sweet! Thanks!
Hello Josh… what value tone pots and caps are you using? Thanks for this demo. Great playing!
Just the standard 250k pots, CTS. For the caps I typically use .22 uF with single coils as I do here. It gives finer tuning of how much top end you want to roll off.
Got a couple CV50 Teles to mod this year.....then added brass saddles and Fralin Blues Specials in one....Lollar Special T in the other...and WOW...both guitars sound magnificent....better sounding (but not better feeling though) than my USA/Japanese guitars. Lollar in the neck is particularly magical for me.
Sounds dreadful 🫤
3:10 that’s the classic Tele snarl right there 🤘🏼⚡️⚡️ these sound like a nice all-rounder, my mind is 80% made up. Thanks mate!
wiggle wiggle wiggle
THANKS.JOSH!
ty
Nice video. Good portrayal of varios tones available. Nice purple tele!!
great sounds my friend. bridge pickup is in alnico iii and the one in the neck is alnico v?
All A3
The sound seems quite sweet and warm
middle position sounds out of phase, I had a twisted tele pickup that was defiantly out of phase, swapping black and white wires fixed it.
Man Mojotone exceeds expectations!
Agreed. I’ve tried these and their 59 strat clones and they’re both some of the best pickups I’ve tried/used.
I love my PV 64’s. Some of the best sounding Fender Tele pickups I’ve ever heard.
I’m picking up a Squrier Tele (unsure if Classic Vibe or Affinity) but the Monty pickup’s sound great!
Great demo! Thank you!
Guessing it's African Mahogany like Sipo or Khaya, not "genuine" like the standard series? Seems to cancel out some of the benefit from the VTS Adi top, value wise. Nut is 1-11/16 presumably? Annoying that GC doesn't make these things clear. Great sounding guitar and thanks for the video.. I think I'll stick with the standard series though.
I had been eyeing the 64' pickups for a while now to put in my Fender Partcaster Tele that I was planning on building. Then today, I bought a Squier Affinity Telecaster, which the price had gone up again, but was able to get it at the price before the increase. I will also order a Fender neck at a later date for it. The prices on the 64' pickup has just gone up (again) to $209.99 + tax at Long & McQuaid and other Canadian Guitar store website (I live in Canada), so I saw Amazon had not increased it price yet, so I got it for $179.99 + tax. All this to say, I'm glad you made this video, because you put yours on a Squier as well, so this gives me an idea of what mine will sound like when I install the 64's n my new Squier Tele. After researching for the last 3 months for which pickups to settle on, the 64's were the ones I always keep coming back to. Glad I bought them and thanks for this video.
Josh, do you still have it? I have the 000-16 StreetMaster (which is also VTS Adirondack Spruce Top) with Rosewood back and sides. As much as i like this guitar, part of me wants a 'regular' Standard D 18 so they don't sound too similar. Do you ever play a Standard D 18 now and kinda wish you had the non-torrefied top? I love it for my 000 but think id regret it if All (both ) my Martin had the same sound to it. Cheers, thanks for the video.. Oh, i haven't played this one, but played the Special 28 of this guitar. Thanks again.
what is that other red tele in that background?
Just a partscaster I built. Fender roasted maple neck with a red sparkle squier body and SD antiquity pickups.
Hi Josh, & Happy New Year. I have a 1988 USA Standard Telecaster, alder, rosewood board, 6 piece modern 'flat' saddles I play a wide variety of stuff from classic rock (not metal!) and blues to country, funk & jazz. I'm looking at both the Fender Pure Vintage 64's and the Fender 51 Nocaster pickups. I'm looking for that classic Tele sparkle & chime but it's also got to sound good for Country, funk etc. What's your take on comparing these pickups and which you think are better? I'd love you to do a demo of the Nocaster 51's and get your views on these.
I used to have a set of the Nocaster pickups and I personally prefer them over the 64 pickups, but they were far brighter. To get a great bridge tone, I would have to dial back the tone knob a tiny bit, just so it wasn't too piercing. The neck pickup on the 51s to me had a "strattier" sound to my ear which I prefer. That being said, I do feel like the 64 pickups are a bit more versatile, even though to my ear I preferred the Nocasters. To me the Nocaster pickups have a brighter less full sound, but give that quintessential twangy Tele sound, while the 64s have a fuller, thicker sound, making them more useful for less twangy genres of music, but they still do the twangy thing. You really can't go wrong with either! Hope that is helpful!
@@joshcarter617 Thanks Josh, really appreciate the prompt response. I don't know whether you've heard or played one but I also have a Harley Benton TE52NA which punches way above its price point, and I really like the stock Roswell pickups. These are bright & chimey but interestingly are Alnico V's. I suspect these are nearer the 51 Nocaster set tonally than the 64's. In reality, I appreciate that getting that balance between chime/sparkle with a bit more punch for rockier stuff is a tough one and will mean some compromise somewhere - no one pick-up can be perfect for everything. But I'm thinking it's perhaps easier to add a bit more gain and dial back brightness, than it is to add sparkle/chime. Would you concur?
@@richardbirch5744 No problem! Yeah, those recent Harley Benton T style models that have come out are exceptionally good for the price. They do have quite bright pickups too, I would say closer to the Nocaster ones, just without as much clarity, but are still quite good. But yes, I agree with your statement. It is always much easier to take away treble than to add it. When it comes to these pickups and overdrive, to me the Nocasters just have a very old school rock sound and the 64s have a more modern sound, but still maintain that vintage sound too to some degree. You will certainly be happy with whichever you choose though!
If you want your guitar to sound like a Tele, go with the 64’s. If you don’t like Tele tones but have one and want it to sound like a strat, go for the higher output pickups like the twisted Tele set, or some of the ones that brag about the neck sounding strat like.
I'm gonna get these for sure! Thanks for the video
What profile neck and nut width does this model have? Thanks. It sounds fabulous
Low profile ( not modified low oval) and 1 11/16 nut, made for musicians friend and GC it seems.
So pre-reimagined specs I’ve seen people say it is.
Is that a road worn?...I have the road worn 60s strat with the tex mex..The worst pickups i ever heard..Changed them to the custom shop Fat 60s..much better...Your Tele doesnt sound too bad..But like the strat tex mex they are too bright and brittle for me..If you ever change them try a set of SD quarter pound pu's..You wont regret it...Nice video and playing
In my experience people set them too high, the Tex Mex Strat set is a good all rounder.
@@aperezdeal yea especially in the bridge u got set it low as sheet
In four words: sweet.
Good vid, very helpful. Love the bridge
Sounds great! I have the lake placid blue road worn 50s tele! I’m also considering getting the DP51s and a 5 way switch wiring loom to go with it. You still enjoying these pickups?
Sorry for the late reply, but yes! These are still in this tele!
Hey, I have the same purple road worn. I was also thinking of trying the DP51s. how do they compare to the tex mex? Did you end up keeping them?
Sorry for the late reply. These did end up staying in this guitar. The tex mex pickups are pretty decent, but I really don't think they come close to the clarity of the DP51s.
sound great. what height did you adjust them?
Honestly, I don't recall, but the way I normally do it is raise the bridge up pretty good and then adjust the neck until its the same volume, because neck pickups tend to overtake the volume of the bridge quite easily.
Staggered or flat pole piece bridge?
Believe on Lollar website the A3 bridge is staggered. 🤔
A3 pups in a tele is a perfect match. Sounds great.
They really are excellent. Pretty much what you think of when you think of a classic tele tone in my opinion.
Already sounds nice and warm in that lower mid range. I just got one too! ruclips.net/video/5lQmmbXtPSk/видео.html
Hey Josh, thanks to your review, I bought this little gem. I am very happy about it, I play it almost daily, and, yes, I think it deserves better pickups. It's really a "bare bones", honest Tele, a true workhorse. Love it! Hope you are well, thanks again, your review was very helpful. Btw, I just uploaded my first ever video, with this guitar, reaaaallly lo-fi, but I got a new mic coming up! Take care my friend!
Hey Dude, is this the Vintera Road Worn version with the Custom Shop pickups? If so how you finding the pickups? Ive just ordered one but I'm skeptical about the 7.25' fretboard radius.
It is the Road Worn series (I think before they called it Vintera). It supposedly came with Tex Mex pickups which are really great, at least they were in mine. I still changed to these Monty’s pickups though because I had heard good things about these pickups, and now it’s the best guitar in my entire collection. I was unsure about the 7.25 radius as well but I actually love it now.
Short and sweet. I enjoyed the review. I'm curious how this guitar would compare with Squires. Also, have you played a TE 62 which is only a few dollars more?
These hang with Squiers quite well. The only time I would say a Squier is better is the classic Vibe series. I think this is better than the Affinity series, for the money at least.
Hi, thanks for sharing, I'm doing research about this guitar, where to find the full specs?
They should be available on Musician’s Friends website. I did request extra specs from Martin on this series but they only send it if you have a valid serial number so I can give you extra details if there’s something you’re wondering about that isn’t listed. The main specs though are: Adirondack top, mahogany back and sides, standard non scalloped bracing.
@@joshcarter617 Oh, that's good to know, did they mention the neck is made from which kind of material?
@@henryliu8189 I believe it said select hardwood, but it is some type of mahogany in that case.
@@joshcarter617 I see, thanks for your information.
Been thinking about grabbing one of these. How does it compare to the Alvarez md60bg for reference? This Eastman almost sounds like it has a “softer” Gibson tone.
Great review man! Thinking about one of these any comments. It sounds great . Maybe a little shy on the base . Thanks Jeff Clark from ROCKDALE Texas
They are well built guitars for sure. The ovangkol back and sides gives it quite an interesting sound. It seems like to me almost a mahogany cross with maple, or something like that. Definitely doesn’t have the bass that a Martin gives or that a rosewood guitar has. But if you want something that sounds different, it’s an excellent choice.
@@joshcarter617 thanks for the quick comeback. My ears are with yours on this guitar. Your review sound natural while the other two reviews on this guitar are false. They sound to good . The sound on the other reviews going through about $6000 worth of electronics before getting to my phone . Don’t take that wrong now I’am talking tone not playing. Hard to get away from a Martin hd28 even for a jamming take out guitar. Eastman’ all seem to have their on sound. Have had a few . In fact I have a E10SS/V had for a year. It’s definitely has a different sound. Sometimes I like it and other times SoSo
@@jefferyclark351 I hear you! That’s pretty much my goal really, to give the most natural sound I can with it. I just have two mics for stereo going right into my interface with no added compression, eq, or any other effects. Just trying to give the most natural sound I can of it!
What brand, type, and gauge strings are you using? I think they pair well with the guitar.
Those would have been Elixir nanoweb light gauge strings. Pretty much my goto strings for most guitars.
@@joshcarter617 phosphor bronze or 80/20?
@@brandonisaak phosphor bronze!
@@joshcarter617 thanks man. Your video convinced me I should get one. I have a 000-18 standard and a J-45 Custom with Adirondack top and rosewood back and sides, but I just love the sound of mahogany and that smaller nut width.
@@brandonisaak that’s awesome. There really is something special about Adirondack paired with mahogany
Hey Josh, did you just change the pickups on this bullet,or all the electronics? Nice sounds, man!
I changed the pickups, and wired up a 4 way switch with CTS pots and I believe I put a treble bleed circuit in this one as well. But the electronics other than the pickups won’t make much if any sound difference, just higher quality controls really. I believe I put a 0.22 uF capacitor on the tone control (my preference for tone).
Thanks!
Niice squalling Tone outta that tele
I specd out a guitar very similar to yours about a month ago, same pickup combo. Can't wait to get it! That neck pickup sounds wonderful
That’s awesome! Yeah the Vintage T neck pickup is absolutely amazing, you’re gonna love it
Sounds great, Josh! By the way, which amp are you using for these recordings?
I’m using my Line 6 Pod Go but on there it’s a Fender Deluxe reverb that I’ve tweaked to get to sound as real as possible. Just makes recording things much easier.
@@joshcarter617 thanks!
That's a nice sounding set of pickups, Josh! The guitar looks great, too!
Thanks! I appreciate it!
