Hey Trogly loved the strat and tele videos! You have really been knocking your shows out of the ballpark the past couple weeks! Keep up the good work brother. Great Job!! Pat yourself on the back!!
This is a really nice Telecaster! I can honestly say that it appeals to me more than the Stratocaster from the other day. I have always been a big Stratocaster user but the last five or six year's I have taken a huge liking to Telecasters. This one would be a welcome addition to almost any collection.
For a carved top Tele, you should try and get a Telecaster Custom FMT HH. Try to get a late '04-'05 model when they were still made in Korea but have the Seymour Duncan Pickups in them. It's more of a carved top SG than an LP as they have the slim body but I'll guarantee you, they are the most troublesome of troublemakers lol. There are some USA made and Custom Shop Teles made to the same specs out there as well so if you want to go high end then maybe find one of those instead. Absolutely awesome guitars, real rock beasts
There's also a Special Edition Tele Custom HH with factory-installed EMG humbuckers. This stealthy Flat Black active beast is generally made for heavy bone-crunching distortion but does nice twangy cleans when you roll down the volume.
Kinda reminds me of the minimalist no-pickguard Tele's from the 1980's. Really love the 6120 orange finish, but not sure if the filter tron pick ups give the true Telecaster sound. A gorgeous guitar, to be sure, in this Fender Bender's opinion! 😄😀👍🏻🎶
I have the same one but it's the first run which had the Fender pickups in it. The late '04-'05 ones with the Seymour Duncans are awesome. I've replaced the original Fender humbuckers with Dimarzio's. Much better, a real rock beast
Salutations Austin! Beautiful and functional Telecaster! I definitely like this much more than the Stratocaster for some reason, which I can’t quite put my finger on. Thank you for sharing this and posting this video! Please have an excellent and awesome day! ☀️✨🎸
I love “gretchy” teles. This one would look awesome with the gretsch style plexi pick guard with gold back paint. Or I also think it would look awesome with a tuff dawg tele style pick guard.
They call that a CUP JACK, not a barrel style. A barrel style jack is the long threaded cylinder jack with the nut that threads onto the end. Now that we got that cleared up lol I like the strat better, the neck's way to fat on this thing for me. I'm surprised they're not the same.
I have a telly, with a flamed neck, front and back, but it does not have a skunk strip down the back, they can put the truss rod in then the fret board on.
That would have been great with a bookmatched cherry veneer on the front. All the figuring of the body on the back and sides but gorgeous mirrored cherry on the front - same colour!
I love the blue Stratocaster, but I don't $7800 love it. More like $4000-$4800 love it, lol. I personally think Troggy sounds and plays better with Fender's instead of Gibson's. They seem to suit his style
Austin -You seem to be reviewing a lot of these Fender strats and teles with the TV Jones pick-ups lately. I wonder how they stack up against the seemingly identical Chinese made Xaviere XV-PRO 842 Thinline Tele style or XV-PRO 872 ST Alder Body with vintage trem available from Guitar Fetish? Both these Xavier guitars use GFS's GF'Tron pickups and the XV-PRO 872 have vintage strat-style trems. Both cost $249.00 without a case, shipping or handling but they might be a more affordable alternatives to these Fenders. At least, until Fender can start cranking out Squire versions... A lot of us dream of Fenders and Gibsons but only have the means to settle for Xaviere, Squire, Epiphone and Glarrey. Give us a break!
6:47 I bet they finished the guitar first, then carved out the cavities for the switch and controls afterwards. It makes it easier and quicker to finish the guitar when there aren’t so many cavities to hang up on.
I would like to see a review on a Stratocaster with Texas Special pick-ups, or Tex Mex pick-ups. Like the SRV Stratocaster, if you can find one. Have a good day.
it wouldnt suprise me if you bought this tele yourself n added it to the collection! sweet unit brother trogly! i recently scored an earlier version of a peavey raptor strat clone...SSS configured and the trussrod adjustment "wheel" at the heel of the neck! got it super cheap!
Said it before, will say it (probably MANY) more times....you may prefer and even want to be a Gibson guy, your playing says your a Fender guy. 9 out of 10 times it's a Fender show, your playing is just THAT much better and you can just tell your feeling it.
Can you please review that maple top on the new Fender 70th-anniversary American Professional II Stratocaster ??? You break down the wood details like no other
When it comes to Telecasters im a traditionalist, I like the ashtray bridge and single coils, Im not a fan of that colour body, I would have liked the same blue on the strat!
Love Fender Fridays. Need more, without Les Paul, Gibson would be nothing. Lol. Leo kept pushing the boundaries, evolving with CLF Research, Music Man and G&L. What has Gibson done, except change after change of management and same old models with minimal changes. Stir the pot.
I've never seen a carve top Tele before. double bound Teles are usually more rare and more valuable. I'm not so much a fan of Strats, however I'm a huge fan Teles.
Very nice guitar. I like the color, but am conflicted over the fretboard, as it is so white, it almost looks like plastic. I've seen some Birdseye Maple stained fretboards that I thought looked absolutely stunning, and I don't know why it's not done more frequently. Maybe a honey or butterscotch color Stain on the fretboard would have looked even better. 🤷♀
I have to agree… That is awfully bright. Well, I would be interested in seeing some orange stained mother of pearl fret markers. I mean it would probably look stupid, but sometimes you wanna see something.
I do like it when you look at Fenders, but both this and yeterday's guitars are such non-representative versions that I can't dig on them. I like strats, I like teles -- or, more specifically. I love guitars that embody the paradigm of these models. Consequently the large divergences from the paradigm in these two you reviewed are a turn off for me. I do agree the wood grain and figuring on the neck/headstock of this tele is great. I have a cheapo Mexican strat with great grain on the fretboard-- no figuring though.
well when i see master builder from fender it just means 3 times the price plus, for a telecaster. guess the builder gets a big bonus. well to me its another telecaster and for those of your that like telecasters get out you checkbook and cancel your vacation. not for me. im a les paul player that has one stratocaster, a 50s burst with aged maple fret board and neck. enjoy if you buy

I sent you a message the other day about the carved top Teles. The wood is nowhere near as nice but it's set up with a push pull.
its overpriced bro.. charvel promods have waaaaaay better specs for waaaaay less..
I love it when my own solder joints are better than custom shop work. It means I've gotten better over the past 20 years of being my own tech.
I'm ready for my daily dose of guitar information
Look around for the Telecaster FMT, those are carved top, 2 humbuckers and set neck. The originals had cool smoked chrome hardware.
You want the late '04-'05 versions that were made in Korea but have the Seymour Duncans in them rather than the Fender pickups the first run came with
Hey Trogly loved the strat and tele videos! You have really been knocking your shows out of the ballpark the past couple weeks! Keep up the good work brother. Great Job!! Pat yourself on the back!!
Please review more Fender Custom Shop guitars.
0:39 okay, oh my...that is a beautiful guitar
I would take this tele over the strat.
Masterpiece 👌

Wow. What a fantastic sounding guitar. Excellent demo. Thank you very much.
I have a carved top set neck tele, maple cap etc, korean fender loaded with SD humbuckers. Great.
I have the same one but it's the first run which had the Fender pickups in it. The late '04-'05 ones with the Seymour Duncans are awesome. I've replaced the original Fender humbuckers with Dimarzio's. Much better, a real rock beast
Trogly, I am so glad that you are giving non Gibson guitars some love.
Spertzel is about 10 minutes from my home. They are so cool. If you need something, they will build, and let you pick them up from thier factory.
Woot woot Trogly's guitars 🎸 🙌
Well done, you earned a Silver Medal for today.
Wow. That has my name all over it. Really sweet.
Loosen up the set screw on the tuner buttons. Done
Beautiful Tele . I love that neck and the TV Jones sound great clean and with added dirt .
These Fender Hardtail Masterbuilds are perfectly built for simplified playing and superior tone. 🎸🎶🏁
Salutations Austin!
Beautiful and functional Telecaster!
I definitely like this much more than the Stratocaster for some reason, which I can’t quite put my finger on.
Thank you for sharing this and posting this video!
Please have an excellent and awesome day!

I could see John5 playing that thing.

The back of the Neck is just stunning 👌
hey 👋 thanks for letting us share with you!
6:47 I bet they finished the guitar first, then carved out the cavities for the switch and controls afterwards. It makes it easier and quicker to finish the guitar when there aren’t so many cavities to hang up on.
Stunning, and that pick up balance is sweet
I would like to see a review on a Stratocaster with Texas Special pick-ups, or Tex Mex pick-ups. Like the SRV Stratocaster, if you can find one. Have a good day.
it wouldnt suprise me if you bought this tele yourself n added it to the collection!
sweet unit brother trogly!
i recently scored an earlier version of a peavey raptor strat clone...SSS configured and the trussrod adjustment "wheel" at the heel of the neck!
got it super cheap!

Man forreal. I thought the same thing.
Can you please review that maple top on the new Fender 70th-anniversary American Professional II Stratocaster ??? You break down the wood details like no other
That’s a good one.
Teles with 2 humbuckers and no pickguard like that and a hardtail are called Boxers.
Good Lord! That is absolutely beautiful!
Sounds pretty good 🤘🤘 and Thankyou for starting off with social distortion in the playing demo 🤘🤘
you could put in a TBX tone to give it more twang
Z is for 2 hours late. It had lots of spanky goodness, but it not my style. Whoever purchases this guitar is getting a nice instrument.
That neck flame is awesome.
The small size of the powertron pickups and no pick guard leave a lot of real estate making it look a little strange to me.
If I didn't already have a TV Jones equipped Gretsch, and a Tele.......Love that neck though.
I like the tele more than the stratocaster from yesterday
dig the sound on those Tele.
The Fender case candy trounces Gibson's.
It looks like the back was router after finish, which is unusual, but that might explain the small flake chipping.
Look at those Mii fmt teles they are set neck, coil split etc. Cool guitar
That Alder body is LIT!
Looks like the fret markers might be tricky to see. Beautiful though
I'd totally pass this over for the strat.
Beautiful guitar
When it comes to Telecasters im a traditionalist, I like the ashtray bridge and single coils, Im not a fan of that colour body, I would have liked the same blue on the strat!
I did love that Strat but this one beats that any day. I wish I had more money...
OMyG! that is a seriously cool Tele!! That neck is stunning! Hope it goes to a good home! Someone is a very lucky bunny!!
Oooooh! Tele with Power'trons!!Almost as nice as yesterday's Strat. Make it blue, red, purple, or emerald and I'd have to buy it and frame it!
Love Fender Fridays. Need more, without Les Paul, Gibson would be nothing. Lol. Leo kept pushing the boundaries, evolving with CLF Research, Music Man and G&L. What has Gibson done, except change after change of management and same old models with minimal changes. Stir the pot.
Have you ever even heard about Ted McCarty?
Reminds me of the black Moon tele
Yap you got a tele, right there. I didn’t expect that coming. Not perfect but it sounds like tele…
Shows, what fender can do! Great job !
I love my Tele... it has a B/G bender I installed
I've never seen a carve top Tele before. double bound Teles are usually more rare and more valuable. I'm not so much a fan of Strats, however I'm a huge fan Teles.
Kinda digging the tv jones pups
Damn that is a beautiful tele
Tv jonesin’! That bridge!!!
The spec sheet says "pearl buttons" for the tuners🤔
Which did you prefer (and why): the powertrons or the magnatrons?
I love that Tele.
And the pool hall i loved as a kid... Is now a seven eleven
Cool. Looks almost like they finished it before routing. Seems backwards, but I didn’t think it either before seeing Frank Brothers Guitars doing it.
That IS how they are doing it. They've been doing that on a factory level too now for some time.
My Player Tele has it too.
@@raytorvalds3699 They aren’t doing it all the time. Most fenders have finish in the cavities…
@@MPF-80 Even new ones?
@@raytorvalds3699 yeah. I have a ‘23 Tele Deluxe AM Pro II. It’s definitely been finished post-routing.
@@MPF-80Interesting. Thank you for answering. Cheers.
I would love to own this tele !! Amazing
trog if the tuners are hard to turn, loosen the screw holding the button.
Beautiful guitar love it 😊😊. Not into them pickups though 😢
Smokin’ tele!
Thanks mate
Ooh, nice I do love a tele
They definitely should have put locking tuners on it for all that! (I sneaked a peak at the cost) it surely sounds good!! 🇺🇸
It rings like a church bell
Is it true that the Telecaster body shape means that Telecaster sounds are going to come from it, no matter what?
Of course, tone-shapes.
I love teles, but I’m not a fan of those wonky little headstocks. They’d be so pretty if they had those big jazz master headstocks.
Some people just LOVE the headstock, myself included
Same here. I've had a Tele for a couple of years now and I'm still not a fan.
I guess it's grown a little on me, but not much.
Man oh man, when will it go up for sale...
Wow
The orange Tele is ok, replace the 🤮 gold with black hardware it would be awesome!
The Telecaster is never "the other" Fender shape. History is supposed to be hard!
Very nice guitar. I like the color, but am conflicted over the fretboard, as it is so white, it almost looks like plastic. I've seen some Birdseye Maple stained fretboards that I thought looked absolutely stunning, and I don't know why it's not done more frequently.

Bravo 👏 Bravo 👏 Encore ❤

You rockin’ me Trogly!
Sweet 👍
👋🏼
How do?
Did they rout the back after it was finished? That'd be brave!
With cnc nothing touches the wood but the bit and if its sharp enough itll be a clean edge.
well when i see master builder from fender it just means 3 times the price plus, for a telecaster. guess the builder gets a big bonus. well to me its another telecaster and for those of your that like telecasters get out you checkbook and cancel your vacation. not for me. im a les paul player that has one stratocaster, a 50s burst with aged maple fret board and neck. enjoy if you buy
Okay, show me something really good!
🔥 up the wazoo!🎸......thanks Fender.👍
That thing sound good though
