Hopefully these are brought into the American original line up on a consistent production. The new telecaster custom has a cunife neck pickup now. Let that sink in.
The originals actually we 10” radius. The ONLY Fender to have that stock until 1975’ s Starcaster. All other Fenders were 7.25 so Greg is right on that.
Greg is a GREAT player! However the original Deluxe’s had a 10 inch radius and Gibson frets. The bridge was a narrow spaced, Fender now uses a hardtail Strat with bent steel saddles, block saddle. The tuners until the last runs were modified Schaller M6 minis. Those had concave buttons, no screw tabs on the back and had screw adjustments on the buttons. Why Fender is using the Ftuners I don’t know. Weight is lighter. Still those guitars are wonderful! Great tones!
Kenny Gardner I didn’t know all that! I know the modern saddles aren’t the old block kind, that the bass-side cutaway is different from the ‘70s shape, and that the modern WRHBs aren’t spec’d the same, but I didn’t know the rest! Thanks for sharing 👍🏻
The body shape depended on which router Fender used. They had two. An original but slightly worn one but still cut the bodies almost exact vintage. My ‘72 had that body. The other router was an early CNC router that was not programmed exact, maybe could not have been. Those are the bodies that cut the odd shape on the bass side allowing the neck to join between the 16th and 17th fret. Original correct Tele shapes join UNDER the 17th fret. By the late 70’s Fender used the CNC router pretty much all the time.
Kenny Gardner I had heard that had something to do with a router bit, but I never knew a CNC was involved! I’ll have to investigate further... thanks for sharing!
I am sorry, but this is ridiculous. It's not actual breathing of course! It's just an appropriate word to describe wood's resonance possibilities. This is so obvious...
Dead wood is still porous. Humidity and lack of air moisture in air will affect dead wood, still expands and shrinks. This is why guitar makers try to reach a certain wood moisture content of raw lumber before making guitars, helps reduce this effect.
But why? I think this is a way better approach than most guys do by playing metal or blouse constantly. We can still hear enough sound samples if we like to,IMO.
Thank you , so much !
Trying to decide between a LP and one of these, thanks for the demo
I used to have an original from '74 i think it was. Looked just like this one. I miss the neck.
Love that guitar great tone

Aria telecaster deluxe clone from 74 sounds just as good
Nice!
Having owned a ‘72 Tele Deluxe I can attest that the finish was thicker than a pane of glass; the exact opposite of thin skin
Please pay this man a million per session?!? He can make a log with a single string sound like a multi-million dollar must-collect.

Ironic, since Fender called their finishes "Thick Skin" in 1972...
Nice
Cunife pickups?

Tell me how dead wood breathes more. Explain that to me.

Agreed. Sounds like a lot of cork sniffing to me. The bigger issue is the lack of cunife pickups. That was the magic of the original tele deluxe
Love the tone and the guitar but not a fan of the pickguard.
SuperEdge67 color or shape? I’ve always liked how it encompasses a Les Paul control layout but under a ‘guard, but that’s just me.
Harrison Vos Prefer normal Tele shape pickguard. You can see more of the wood.
Yes not enough wood showing
why not to make a good guitar
love the guitar but spare me the "nitro sounds difference" bs
Oh God yes, I can't listen to this cork-sniffing nonsense one more time.
Play it without that stupid fat finger on the headstock. The fat finger scam
That’s a tuner
Awesome guitarist but i wish he would clown around a little less for gods sake...
But why?

How dare you, Greg is the man.
