Thank you so much for posting this. My favorite vintage is my Early Early Broadcaster. That thing is a beast for sure. It’s definitely such a fantastic instrument and extremely simple. I have been playing for 52years this year. All genres. There’s nothing like that Broadcaster playing live with it. Even the modern Teles are killer. This had Jeff Beck in it. RIP to the legend and master of Jeff Beck and even Red. Such classy players talking Telicasters.
I grew up in the 70’s as a kid waiting on the HeeHaw tv show every week with Mom/Dad watching Roy Clark & Buck Owens with special guest to light up our living room. I remember getting a Sears & Roebuck Strat and amp combo around 81’-82’ from my Grandparents that lit my fire. I’m 52 now & I still play a Fender Strat “Blackie” & “tweed” Blues Jr. today. “Hee-Haw” and early artist like Hendrix, Clapton, SRV, Gilmour, & Skunk Baxter led me to adore this sound for life!#Fender🎸❤️
@bobhewitt5047 nicely done and a wonderful piece of work. Great that it covers a range of artists and styles, as well as luthiers and historians. Absolutely cracking. Also a whole new set of blues players for me to seek out and listen to. Also amazing to see John 5 interviewed and Wilko Johnson. Two of my Tele heroes from completely different parts of the guitar spectrum.
Thank you for making and uploading this fascinating documentary! Even today, the Tele is a work of art, especially, IMHO, when you have one with the body in one colour, the pickguard in a different one, the back of the neck in maple, and the finger board in rose wood. I have a Mystic Surf Green US Tele and a Vintage White Japanese Tele and they all have this wonderful 4 colour combination. And they are both fine instruments and great lookers as well!
The narrow neck, small body and simple control layout are in my opinion what makes the Fender Telecaster so good to play. At first I was into Stratocasters from the very beginning of my electric guitar playing. Influenced by Jimi Hendrix. Over the years I tried semi hollow and full hollow body electric guitars, always avoiding the Telecaster. Then back around 2017 I purchased a Squier Telecaster with 15G amp, gig bag, strap, chord for $229. I loved the neck and the simple controls but the body was a little too thick and heavy to become my favorite. Over the years I purchased 4 additional telecasters. Each one more to my liking. My newest and also my favorite is the Fender Special Edition Custom Telecaster FMT HH - Amber for under a $1,000. It's very light for a Tele at only 5 lbs. 10 oz. This Tele besides being very light also has a carved contour in the back for comfort where it contacts my upper chest. It sounds pretty good too. It is very comfortable and easy to pay and as I already wrote, it does sound good. Perhaps one day I shall go all out and purchase an expensive Tele. But for now I am enjoying what I have. - Peter age 74
great video...Thanks for posting! Worth clarifying is that Seymour mistakingly describes the blend circuit as the "Blend" knob working with the switch in the middle position, where it actually only works with the switch in the bridge/back position.
I have a Fender Nashville Telecaster with Powerbridge. I had an issue with the piezo fixed it. I recently added a Seymour Duncan Red Devil in the bridge. I know all you tele purists will hate that. But, for me the guitar was great before and is now 1,000% better for me now. 4 pickups makes this guitar really useful.
@@f3uibeghardt522 seriously tho' Telecasters have unique identities For me, have some with Tremolos some without, a nashville (three pickups) , Cheap offshore ones that are beauties that were too good to pass up (my Hadean), one with '64 pickups, one with '68 pickups... Squiers, Fenders, Affinities, a semi hollow, a green one, a white one, a Black one. I don't have a baratone *YET* ! all that and not one with a belly cut (which I hate)
I have two words for those who say the Telecaster design was perfect out of the box from the very beginning: "bridge saddles". Happily, these are easily sorted even on the very first "No-casters", and in a way that can be just as easily put back to original for museum purposes.
I don't think any guitars were perfect back then. Even Tune o Matic bridges didn't have a retainer wire and the saddles would fall off when you broke a string. I wasn't there then and certainly wasn't playing vintage guitars, besides a '62 SG special my dad used to have.
What an awesome body of work it is too iv`e really enjoyed every minute and every word from the musicians who make the telecaster ,body and soul, a part of not just their lives..but ours too ,you just cannot take the tele for granted you only have to reflect on its contribution to every genre of music over its lifespan..leo fender hit the nail on the head!! thankyou soooo much for posting this !!😇👍🧡
Did you mean "a Les Paul *pickup*" ? Probably a Duncan "PAF" pickup; I installed one in my Fender Mustang years ago. I wish I still had that guitar......
@goodun2974 a les paul set of zebra pick ups, a les paul switch, a les paul bridge, a les paul tailpiece, a les paul set of controls... that's a full Les Paul to me.
I don't know which is more improbable: Robin Xander playing so well despite a prosthetic right arm, or Red Volkaert playing great despite ham-hock hands and sausage fingers! 😉👏👏👏
My first guitar was a Japan built 84 blonde Squier tele. A GREAT guitar I sadly sold but have come back to teles ever since and agree, if you can play, a tele is all you need from crunchy Led Zep I riffs to chicken picken, it seems plenty versatile to me?
The guitars are amazing, but what about the amps? They also deserve equal accolades. Unreal sound and quality. Our gear was much better when our grandma's built them.
Old Keef. Ramblin on about Teles! Ha ha! What’s he on? Love the guy, but he is up in the clouds. He played many different brands of guitars. He would say the same things about Les Pauls I think. It’s in the head and fingers after all.

I have a few Teles. Never really got on with any of them. The lack of a body cut didn’t help. A one trick pony, except in the hands of the late great Danny Gatton and the very much alive Albert Lee. Who later ditched them for Ernie Ball’s. Even Danny had his modified with Joe Bardens rails pickups, and the “Magic Dingus Box.”Stock Teles are also crap with distortion. They just look good around your neck!

To point out what Keith is making. James Marshall use to take fender amps that would come in to England and copy and beef up what they have. So Marshall amps are fender amp on steroids .Thank you Leo. Now let's talk about the telecaster.
Gonna have to disagree with Ritchie Kotzen a little (though everything else he says is good): the Telecaster is *not* "easy to play" and this is part of the "magic" that accounts for the difference between a Tele and other guitars. I know a lot of players that play other guitars, but they practice on a Telecaster. Why? Because the Tele is both demanding and completely honest. If you mess up (and everybody does), you will immediately hear it on a Tele. But if you can nail a riff, a passage, or a song on a Tele, you can play it on any guitar flawlessly. When you switch from a Tele to another kind of guitar, it just feels too squishy and too easy and that's a big part of the Telecaster charm.
They are talking about the fact that there is only 3 saddles... and that it is easier to do it with 6.. of course we can do it with 3 it's just a little tricker
@@Mytwocentsisallicanafford oh i see what you're saying! An acoustic guitar with a single bridge and no adjustable saddles... i have no idea how to do that.. not one lol
Does Sue Foley even know that the Paisley Pink Telecaster is not her "Signature" guitar that everybody knows "her" by but it IS indeed James Burton's Signature guitar that everybody know's Him by. He had that design way back in the 70's while he was with Elvis! Long before Foley ever had her copy of Burton's Tele. She does not even mention his name. That's equivalent to some guitarist comeing along with a red, white and black striped Strat (The Eddie VanHalen Frankenstrat) and saying it's his signature guitar that everybody knows him by when it's Eddie's. Seems disrespectful and ignorant. Might wanna rethink that Sue. Or at least be aware. It's not your signature guitar....it's James Burton's!

A telecaster is a big chunky boxing heavy slab of wood with a neck attached to it. Ugly boxy heavy. What's up with the crummy bridge? I hate them.
