User guide:
With these longer soundscapes the first minute or more is usually a clean sound check before gradually building up to the ambient improvisation - please give it a chance to build up and breathe.
It is recommended with these sonic explorations to have the video on in the background as more of a listening experience. But please do enjoy as you wish.
For ultimate listening experience use headphones or monitors if possible.

[@Mandobird1]

Great review, just bought the same in Aztec gold.

[@pedalscapes]

Thank you. Fab stuff congrats on the axe! It's a great vfm guitar - going to swap the pups in mine - cheers 😎

[@arlos21]

I like that guitar I'm looking to buy one. Nice review

[@pedalscapes]

Thank you. It's a nice Tele - after living with it for a couple of months there are a couple of other points - The pickups are quiet microphonic and cheap sounding when used clean - I hope to upgrade them soon - the gloss coatd on the back of the neck is a bit sticky - may need to do some light sanding... Still think it's a great value guitar and hope to get a lot more playing in. cheers 😎

[@arlos21]

@@pedalscapes Yes, I noticed the sound of those pickups are not great.

Great video, Do you like this guitar more the the classic vibe 70s thinline you reviewed?

[@pedalscapes]

Great question - difficult to answer but I'll try...
They're both great but if forced to choose I'd probably gravitate to the 70s.
They both look great the 60s may just edge it for me aesthetically and finish wise.
The 70s has a slightly chunkier neck and feels more comfortable to play.
The 60s has a slightly overglossed neck and feels a bit sticky (may have to sand or wool this) but the fret ends seem better finished.
The 60s is lighter
The 70s has better electronics with the wide range pickups sounding nicer than the 60s single coils.
On which note, probably will change the pups in the 60s in the near future as they are very microphonic...
Hope that helps, cheers 😎
