i played one of these when i was trying out a chorus pedal i wish the guitar store person hadn’t let me try this as i can’t stop thinking about it it’s so good
I was about to buy one of these. Same colour, too. Was really looking forward to my new baby. But after listening to Jay's playing, I've slipped into a depressive state and selling everything! Seriously though, these are a cracking guitar...
I like how the caption for this one is "played like a pro" instead of "play like a pro," because let's be real - this guitar isn't going to sound this good in anyone else's hands!
Inspiring playing. I’ve been dithering back and forth over which tele model to get. Seeing what can be done with this one in the hands of someone with massive talent, my decision has been made. Thank you!
The man has an amazing right hand ... this is an overlooked talent . Both of your hands have much to do with your tone & sound. What a great player & a great guitar. I got the butterscotch blonde & she’s a beauty ... simply one of the best guitars you can get.
Amazing skills, I must have watched this video 10x. 5x because I am trying to decide between the tele and Strat pro II, and 5x just for Jay's amazing playing. He can do it all, and a great right hand. Much love and respect from all the way across the country in PEI!!
incredible playing! i want to save video, review it, sput it on slow mode, rewind a hundred times, & learn some of those fabulous licks. what a player you are! & Enthusiastic!
I like the changes to the model, but would have been nice for $1,500 to have had a belly cut for sure (lighten the weight), and maybe throw in some locking tuners.
Hey Jay! Just found your channel. Subscribed! Love your playing. Got the Am Pro II Strat 6 months ago (in Dark Night color/Rosewood fretboard) and love it. The neck is super smooth. Now I want the Am Pro II Tele. Selling my Modern Player Plus (the one with 3 pups - humbucker by bridge). Not so happy with it because it does not have the Tele twang. Getting the new one in a couple of weeks. Thanks for your video and sharing your playing/knowledge.
Jay is the tele player that I measure everyone else against! If I didn't get a Jennings Navigator after his demo this might tempt me! Lovely playing as always.
You are a fantastic musician Jay! I’ve been goin back & forth between the Olympic White, Mercury & now this Sierra Burst.. 😞 Great review/playing! Thank you 🤙🏼
I will agree with the rest of the comments.. your reviewing and guitar playing ability places you in the 500k-1M subscriber category. Just a matter of time. Thanks for these amazing vids
Hi! What amps and cab did you use in this video / settings on them? Best guitar player/demo ever! Also any post on the final audio of the guitar in the video?
I have this guitar, I found the neck pickup to be really muddy and mushy. That's something I've never experienced with a Tele before. Also the bridge seems really overwound. Not a fan. But the rest of the guitar is really nice, and well made. Great demo, thanks.
Learning the guitar is one of the best decisions I ever made in my life: it is always great to see another person joining in on the journey! I did make a video on tips that helped me out when I first started. I hope you get something good out of it :) ruclips.net/video/KLpKbdvW1f8/видео.html
Brother, your playing is what I dream to be able to do. Phenomenal my friend! You are awesome. Do you have a band or any records out? I love listening to your playing.
@@CosmicHippopotamus Yes! For me the less steep angle helps with vibrato/bend "slinkiness", I break a LOT less strings, and the guitar stays in tune a bit better (strings don't caught up in the saddles). The trade off is the transient attack is slightly softer which I actually think works perfect for a telecaster anyways, haha.
Jay do you prefer a modern Tele such as this or perhaps one of the older American Vintage series. Not necessarily that specific series but something like that.
I definitely have more experience with the older style Teles but the American Pro 2 would be my choice if I had to pick a straight up Tele from the current Fender Catalogue (non Custom Shop).
I like your video the most !! above all those Tele Pro ii play through video. Your sound is the best. May I ask which Amp did you use for this one? Or is there anything else that make this Tele sounds like you did. Thanks in advance Cheers!!
You sound awesome which do you like better and what order american professional tele american pro2 or american ultra. Would appreciate your opinion and would love a comparison. Thanks for your videos love your energy
I think the Ultra is great in terms of practicality: tummy cuts, intonation, noiseless pickups, compound radius, and locking tuners. Great choice for a gigging musician that wants a more modern playability. However, because of my fondness for the 3 saddle bridge (especially with the top load option) and experience with older guitars, I find myself more drawn to the pro 2.
@@JayLeonardJ hello so you don't mind it is slightly out of tune? It's not that obvious when you played riffs but whenever you played more strings or chords, I heard it. Do you know if compensated saddle fix it 100% or it is always a compromise? I can't decide which guitar I want :(
Its clever the marketing on these things, ad upgrades one year take them away, re ad the upgrades a couple of years later and then take them away again. I can't blame them, how many times can you re invent something so simple and already pretty perfect. It sounded so unconvincing when he said "I've played the old version today and there is actually some differences" 😂 I'm not for a second saying its a bad guitar, it sound awesome but I'm sure this and the last 10 years of releases are all great and pretty much the same 😅 Still getting that thumbs up, always love your videos, they are always a lot of fun to watch! Keep it up dude! 🤘
Great job Jay! Love the sounds. I just bought this guitar (but a strat), and now I'm getting second thought about it due to the body being in pine. Pine just feels like cheap wood to me as I'm so used to cheap pine furniture. What are your thoughts having played it, any notable diff with these and those in alder? The problem is that I absolutely adore the finish of the Sienna sunburst, so should I just slope my thinking or should I consider alder instead? What are your thoughts? Many thanks, I get way to hyped up over these things....
Fender is being cheap switching from ash. They gave a hundred reasons why they were switching from it, but cost is the main reason. I'm glad I found a comment on the pine body bc I was wondering what people were thinking of it.
There are so many great "solo" guitar players on yt. For sure you are one of them... but you are a great rythm player as well. Thanks for sharing and have a great day Jay!!
@@JayLeonardJ You are welcome Jay. I have just watched new Strat review. In my opinion Strat "felt" that you are huge tele fan and it didn't want to cooperate as good as tele :D
That sounds like a great video idea 👍👍 for me, personally: waaay less strings broken (I break a lot), more stable tuning, slightly slinkier feel, and slightly less ear pick stinging on the bridge pickup 😁
@@JayLeonardJ That makes sense, especially the string breakage thing. I never thought about that. Not an issue for me, because I have a pretty light touch when I play. You, however, have a very aggressive attack, so I could see you breaking the strings often for sure. Also, I agree that would make a great video topic. 😁

Honestly don't understand why Jay doesn't have 500,000 subscribers- one of the best players on RUclips!
He definitely should have way more than what he has.
@@RealMNeutral31 they will soon come if he will sustain. Love his stuff
I find the overproduced quality of the channel pretty off-putting. That and the dude just doesn’t seem genuine. Always selling something.
Because there are many other options, that people obviously prefer.
Might be the faces he makes, lol.
You've got so much rhythm and kick in those hands Jay!
Thanks so much!
i played one of these when i was trying out a chorus pedal i wish the guitar store person hadn’t let me try this as i can’t stop thinking about it it’s so good
Man, Jay just has such a groove. Proud of this killer Vancouver player.
Thanks!
I was about to buy one of these. Same colour, too. Was really looking forward to my new baby. But after listening to Jay's playing, I've slipped into a depressive state and selling everything! Seriously though, these are a cracking guitar...
Ha ha , keep playing , don’t stop believe !
That color looks way better in the video than pictures. I'm sure it's great in person. Great playing!
I own this exact guitar....and gotta say love it to death. Just had it for a couple of days now and can't put it down
I just got it too, great guitar so far, got it to replace an old strat I got rid of last year
it was so good... the best telecaster pro 2 review which I have ever seen on the YT. I can't wait for my new tele pro II
I like how the caption for this one is "played like a pro" instead of "play like a pro," because let's be real - this guitar isn't going to sound this good in anyone else's hands!

Hi. Curious which one you bought? I got the Strat pro II 6 months ago. Amazing guitar. Getting the Tele in two weeks. Gotta have them both!
Lol ten times? Get both
Love your playing. Picking one of these up today and grateful to see how well it *could* possibly be played!
Congrats! Hope you love the guitar :)
Beautiful guitar. Definitely on my wish list.
You showcase it superbly.
Thanks so much!
Excellent cover of sound options and capabilities ... thanks Jay👍
i keep coming to this vid .. still thinking if i should get this telecaster in this exact colour with maple neck ..
The best telecaster review on the web bar none.
Thanks so much :)
God damn, man. You had me sold with the finish. Now I have to add the coverage protection, great playing.
4:07 and 4:20 are these from any particular songs?
thanks after watching this just bought one , AMAZING
Okay you’ve sold me this guitar, thank you for allowing me to hear that godly playing style ! Rocking, subbed.
Love his playing. I've watched a lot of these Tele demos, but my boy can play.
Wait a tick, it doesn’t sound like that when I play. You’re too good Mr. J!
Haha, thanks so much for watching the vids!
Great guitar from a great performer. Jay is one of the Best.
Some of the best guitar playing i’ve heard in ages. You have such a unique sound dude. Incredible!
Visited here to listen how he think about the guitar but ended with digging into his playing….just amazing
Fender really are kicking ass with their top end stuff recently 🤤
incredible playing! i want to save video, review it, sput it on slow mode, rewind a hundred times, & learn some of those fabulous licks. what a player you are! & Enthusiastic!
Really appreciate it!! Glad you dug the vid :)
Killer playing man, damn!
Jay all about the Rythm and ideas, thats obvious, grooves & licks!!!....🙋🏼♂️🎸💙💜💮....✍🏼
Jay, Excellent playing and presentation. I really appreciate your sincerity and enthusiasm.
I just got this exact guitar today, been loving it all day ;)
Congrats!!! Love that color!!!!
1:53 Why do you think teles should be top loaded?
Here's my thoughts on just that: ruclips.net/video/N-cT3qo4qtI/видео.html
Your playing is phenomenal!!! Subscribed immediately. I would love to see you collaborate with Danish Pete, now that would be something.
Really like to see you compare/ comments between AP2 Tele and AP2 Tele Deluxe.
First time on the channel. Subscribed based on the infectious enthusiasm. Great demo with no fuss.. Very nice. 👍🇦🇺
I like the changes to the model, but would have been nice for $1,500 to have had a belly cut for sure (lighten the weight), and maybe throw in some locking tuners.
Chops for days. I love your happy vibe too.

Lovely playing as always.
Greg koch is probably one of the best players I've ever heard on a tele. This guy is on the same level as him
I will gladly take those two complements any day of the week. Thanks so much for your kind words and rock on 🤘
Man, you got some skills showing out there! Nice. I'll take one tele and 10 of those licks set, thanks.
Ahh man sounds so good! And your playing is superb dude!
not only great guitar, but a great guitarist !! Awesome vibe !!!!
Thanks!
You are a fantastic musician Jay! I’ve been goin back & forth between the Olympic White, Mercury & now this Sierra Burst.. 😞 Great review/playing! Thank you 🤙🏼
man i love your playing always such nice licks and funky strumming
@6:01 Wow. That sounds like a Strat neck pickup too.
Increadable playing and yes great guitar again Fender. Quick fingers flying over the fretboard
Ur playing is very colorful mate!
Nice sound & color🎸
Your play exceptionally well and this helped make it a great review. Many thanks.
Really appreciate it! Thanks :)
Hey, sorry... Can you please tell me something about the amp you use? Thank you :)
Awesome musician!! Great ear and great hands.
Jay’s playing is going to help sell a serious amount of these fantastic guitars, well played sir👍👏👏👏
awesome playing man

Great playing and great review. Saving my dollars for one now.
Dude, just came across these vids today - your playing is killer!
Really appreciate it!
Holy crap that intro jam was crisp. My dream is to one day jam with you ahah, until then keep giving me awesome riffs to learn.
Awesome playing bro!
Nice playing. Bringing out some great tele sounds!
That was the quickest 7 minutes on RUclips. I never wanted it to end 😭
Really appreciate it!!
Great video. Beautiful guitar.
Do you happen to know if the mark 2 pro Tele is the same exact color of mark 1? Mark 2 seems browner, duller…
Hi! What amps and cab did you use in this video / settings on them? Best guitar player/demo ever! Also any post on the final audio of the guitar in the video?
What a beautiful color
This guy can play.
Excellent demo and amazing playing. I think you just made me buy one of these!
Man That Guitar Rocks And The Wiring Options Are Cool Giving Us Options 👍👍🎶🎶🎸
Amazing video! You have the best right hand technique!
I have this guitar, I found the neck pickup to be really muddy and mushy. That's something I've never experienced with a Tele before. Also the bridge seems really overwound. Not a fan.
But the rest of the guitar is really nice, and well made.
Great demo, thanks.
You are amazing guitarist😊always happy and play with kick😊😎
Love "top-loaders", but to be perfect it needs a flat pick-up selector switch knob 😄
Jay , it would be awesome if you did a lesson series !!!
Jesus christ man. Just found your channel yesterday and...wow! Daaaaaamn you can play! WOOOOOOOOH!
Really appreciate it! Welcome to the page :)
I traded up from a MIM Tele to the Pro series. BIG UPGRADE
@Luke The neck alone is worth it. I love my Tele now and will never sell it. Pretty much does everything
@@tonyaguirre6468 So agree. I've never played any guitar with a neck this perfect. 👌
For a measly $150 extra this model should have been given a belly and fore arm cut and would make an arguably affordable guitar. Gr8 review Jay!
I dunno man.Most people prefer them with the vintage specs. Just ask Gibson.
@@jordanpratt9384 haha good one, "just ask Gibson", love it!
Great playing
I'm an adult who began playing 6 months ago and i don't get how someone can become this good lol
Because he’s been playing since he was 6 months

@@JayLeonardJ thanks man
Practice. I've been playing 28 years and I'm not even as good as he is. You get out what you put in.
Jay and the tele like peas and carrots.
OMG great playing.
The necks on these guitars are the highlight, IMO
I just bought the strat. They feel so good
Brother, your playing is what I dream to be able to do. Phenomenal my friend! You are awesome. Do you have a band or any records out? I love listening to your playing.
I appreciate that you're demoing other styles than metal and heavy sounds. I want to know the range of styles it is good for.
Pretty much anything. I don’t have one of this series but I do of the prior series and I didn’t high gain with the pickups.
Inspirational playing as always. I know you prefer a Bigsby, but on a fixed bridge Tele, what makes you prefer top loading over through-body?
He said he prefers the bigsby because of the less sharp break angle. Toploaders have the same advantage.
@@CosmicHippopotamus Yes! For me the less steep angle helps with vibrato/bend "slinkiness", I break a LOT less strings, and the guitar stays in tune a bit better (strings don't caught up in the saddles).

May I ask which Amp did you use for this one? Or is there anything else that make this Tele sounds like you did.
Thanks in advance
Cheers!!
If I remember correctly, I was using the Benson Chimera on this one. With a touch of verb :)
Congratulations what string gauge do you recomend for pine wood telecasters
I typically use a 10-48 for almost everything except when I play Jaguars (usually an 11 set).
You sound awesome which do you like better and what order american professional tele american pro2 or american ultra. Would appreciate your opinion and would love a comparison. Thanks for your videos love your energy
I think the Ultra is great in terms of practicality: tummy cuts, intonation, noiseless pickups, compound radius, and locking tuners.

How you liking the pine body vs the previous alder or swamp ash

Great review. I am curious: Why do you prefer top-loaded strings on a Tele?
