Aww MAN, when I first pressed to listen to this video I was thinking," Here we go again with another tele with pickups that look like wide-ranged but aren't made the same nor will they SOUND like real Fender wide-range pickups"!!! I was wrong, the sounds hit me and I could hear the difference from across the room, the CuNiFe pickups are BoMb!! Now I just pray that two of these pickups will make their way into a tele deluxe model and that it won't cost one's first born! WHATASOUND!!!!
I had a 78 Tele Deluxe...oh the tone was beautiful! It had an ash body and it weighed a ton but man it was worth it. I sold it and I really regret doing that.
Picking mine up this week with a rosewood board. The 9.5 radius is what I like along with a nitro lacquer finish. But I'll say that the pickups are the icing on the cake.I cant wait to play this thing as I have been waiting for a very long time for something with these specs.
This sounds ridiculously good. Make a lefty or at least sell the pickups. Please. If you don’t I swear I will buy a G*bson. Then neither of us will be happy. Thanks in advance!
The first real guitar I played was a '74 Tele Custom stripped to natural. This was in 1978 and I've been a Tele man from that moment on. I want this one in Natural.
Personally I absolutely love the vintage blonde one and the Nitro Lacquer finish is another reason to pass on the Vintera version. I will have to wait more to get a guitar for this price tho, but this is my dream Telecaster so it will be definitely worth the wait.
FYI - I contacted Fender Customer Relations the other day about whether the Vintera WRHB's were going to be sold as separate parts and Brett Arney replied to me via email within a couple of hours to tell me that they are actually going to make sets of the CuNiFe WRHB's available in the near future. This means that they are obviously going to make both bridge and neck CuNiFe pickups available and, just an educated guess, probably going to come out with American Original 70's series Tele Deluxe's and Thinline's that use these pickups (as I doubt they would manufacture sets without putting them into some actual guitars). He didn't give me any estimate on when the PUP's would be available but at least, barring manufacturing issues and/or materials shortages, there's a great chance that the CuNiFe's will be available for purchase at some point in 2020.
Fender, please please please!!! make a limited edition run of vintera series telecasters (custom, deluxe and thinline) with american CuNiFe pickups in, maybe in road worn. Honestly I don't care if they're road worn, but please let us have a vintera limited run. Would happily pay more to see these pickups in the mexican models!!
@@NightProductionsDK I have a vintera tele custom (fiesta red). Cunife WR in the neck, Amber Blues in bridge + VIPots, that’s my plan. The previous owner put a Mastery M3 bridge on the guitar too.
@@rafaelostos-tapia9129 I'm pretty sure he means the actual Starcaster. Fenders second attempt to beat Gibson at their ES game. In the 60's they had the Cornado and in the 70's they did an offset semi-hollow body with the Starcaster. They're oddball guitars but I love my '76.
Happy that this is out, I would prefer the 12” radius on the fret board like the reissues but you can always sand it to that. Hope the 72 tele deluxe is next. Oh and freaking offer black! That sold the most in the reissues.
I like that you put nitro on this despite it being a 70s guitar. You should update the 70s Jazz bass and use the period-incorrect nitro on that too because, even though it's true to the period, those poly coats were just insane candy shells.
Fender did use nitro and poly on 70s guitars . I have had a few that were checking like crazy . Poly doesnt really check but the 70s models I have had are nitro and poly.
I found one used in vintage blonde and had to buy it. I've owned several 70s Teles with WRHBs over the years. These pickups are the EXACT same! It sounds ridiculously good and plays way better than the vintage models I've owned due to the 9.5 radius. Well, the 78 blonde Tele deluxe I used to own played just as great and was awesome. Why did I sell that one? Anyway, these reissues are phenomenal!
Man this could be worth trading in the old Lester for. I love my Teles, even my MIM Deluxe reissue and I've been wanting a 70's Custom for ages. I just never got around to actually getting one.
It was Keith Richards' main guitar during the 1981 and 1982 tours. He had a black one, but obviously Fender releases only Moka, Blonde and Sunburst colors...
Apart from the supposedly rebirth of the WRH... Has anyone compared the WRH of the vintera against this new Cunife pickup? I guess sonically they are very similar. Anyone has an opinion?
Dear friends at Fender, may I ask you why there's not black finish option for these guitars? Is it possible that you will also include the 70 Telecaster Deluxe in the American Original series in the near future? Greetings from Rome Alessio
Looks like my 74 custom in the same finish. Even the bridge pickup sounds spot on. I would like to see Black as a finish option, and poly clear coat. The case interior should be orange imo, like the American vintage 70s Strat.🤔
Awesome!!! I made my own WRHB's (CuNIFE poles etc) out of a set of bar-magnet reissues and I love them. Stoked to see Fender bring back the real WRHB. Theyre hands down the best humbuckers of all IMO.
Listen folks : if you want the real thing, get the real thing. I know : you don't have the money. Neither do I. And I don't care for the real thing, for the electronics are scratchy and noisy in general, many people owned it and modified it in more or less successful ways, the fretboards were varnished over for many vintage models - which is great as long as your fretboard is a good shape, after that, forget about repairing it, my dad got a useless original 1963 Thinline because of that... - name it... Guess why you never see pros playing actual vintage... Not a single one of them are doing it, they get relic-looking customs which confuse a lot of people. I'm pro FOH by the way I see a LOT of guitars and a lot of vintage looking one and I haven't seen any but one genuine vintage 60's Fender, prolly because the player never bough anymore than one instrument based on their age, one of those old session folk who knows how to make care of an instrument for an entire lifetime.... So screw it. You want the real one? Get a couple grands and get one. And - if you really wanna play it and not collect it - regret it after the fact. I'll get this any day over the "real thing", which is a fantasy. There is NO reason why technology wouldn't allow us to have a better guitar than was made back in the day. It's ALL in your heads, guys.
I recently acquired one of these, great sound and great finishes, but the CUNIFE Wide Range is noisy similar to a single coil when you don't touch the guitar. It's the second that I owned and both are like that, so I think that's a peculiarity and not an issue.
Two notes. One, you have a crazy weird name! 😏 And Two, I love this guitar. Sounds amazing, but I’m not keen on that pickguard style tbh. Gonna have to give this one a spin if I find it somewhere.
I'd say, put on some more reverb. Hell, drown it in it. We might be hearing the sound of that pickup that you had to tell so much about. You would'nt want that do you?
Who knows? How does Fender define "CuNiFe" and how are they really constructing them? It's like B.Clinton said, "It depends on what IS is." I don't hear anything special going on here.
Sounds like modern crap. There is nothing special about the sounds here, I get much better sounds out of guitars since I started playing 40 years ago. Don't believe any of what Fender tells you. Laughable.

Yeah seriously, they better get around to making a damn Deluxe model. that's a desert island guitar right there.
It’s so weird to me that no ones made cheap-ish repro WRs out of alnico or ceramic? It’s not a complicated wind, i’ve literally done it myself.
That Rolling Stones tuning in the beginning!
is this a song?
It's turned in Open G, which is the tuning Keith Richards uses most.
It sounds like a cheap version of “Can’t You Here Me Knocking”
@@David-bb6ji yeah it almost sounds like the song "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" by thr Rolling Stones
I had a 78 Tele Deluxe...oh the tone was beautiful! It had an ash body and it weighed a ton but man it was worth it. I sold it and I really regret doing that.
Finally. That's a sound I've been looking for there
I just bought a 1974 three tone sunburst. It is getting some love and attention that it needs.
I tried this guitar yesterday and I must say it has a great sound
Sound so much like the Rolling stones. Love it 😎🤘🎸
Lovely sound out of that middle position
Ive had mine for three months, I use it tuned down a step to D and its the most resonant guitar I own so much so it now lives on the sofa.
Right on!
Picking mine up this week with a rosewood board. The 9.5 radius is what I like along with a nitro lacquer finish. But I'll say that the pickups are the icing on the cake.I cant wait to play this thing as I have been waiting for a very long time for something with these specs.

lol I love that you censored Gibson
amen! I dont even want another guitar but if a lefty with a WRHB comes out, I’m gonna bust the bank!
Fender: (makes wide range buckers available)
Me: (buys and puts on Gibson LP)
pro gamer move
Christian Enmon lol
Wow it looks stunning... I will surely get one of it to my Tele collection......
This my dream guitar want high school... 😄
Albert Collins would be proud of this one.
What a beautiful guitar
Sounds awesome
I love your guitars!!!
The first real guitar I played was a '74 Tele Custom stripped to natural. This was in 1978 and I've been a Tele man from that moment on. I want this one in Natural.
Really tasty playing! Really beautiful guitar
Fender please make a 70s deluxe like this!
This is beautiful. I hope one day to be part of the Fender legacy of guitars and amps and have my own Sig made....The RC atmos blues maker. Lol
glad to see it back, you would have sold so many in black though. that’s the real thing.
I've had many black reissue over the years, I like it the best. But the mocha looks really nice, like my 74!🤷

@@TheWelhaven cool! I would love to hear how you like the new pickups when you've given them a spin! :)
It seems like the sweetspot on these guitars are both pickups together. So cool with the new CuNiFe pickups.
I like to see the blue one in the background!
Yes please
Ordering one in June can't wait
how is it?
My guitar teacher always told me that good guitarists knew no brand. Well this changes my mind without a doubt.
American original 70' Starcaster? Please Fender, I beg you!
You mean Telecaster Deluxe that comes with a strat headstock
@@rafaelostos-tapia9129 I'm pretty sure he means the actual Starcaster. Fenders second attempt to beat Gibson at their ES game. In the 60's they had the Cornado and in the 70's they did an offset semi-hollow body with the Starcaster. They're oddball guitars but I love my '76.

Thank you Fender for FINALLY making CuNiFe a reality again. Been waiting for this for a very long time
Fender = ♥️
Love it!
Cool, but why didn't you make a 70's Thinline?? That's the best guitar from the era!!
ruclips.net/video/g-oQyjdpKMw/видео.html
@@melkkoe that's a 60's Thinline. The had two wide range humbuckers in the 70's models.

Mines already ordered!
really love the sound of the guitar.. plan to order one next year. But not the effect....
Awsome 👏 one of the Best from fender
I love you Fender
Beautiful
Man this could be worth trading in the old Lester for. I love my Teles, even my MIM Deluxe reissue and I've been wanting a 70's Custom for ages. I just never got around to actually getting one.
Yes, but does it come in black?
Just ordered one..
are these pickups going to be available *at least* in Custom Shop orders?
Black Crowes tuning 😉
You know, for all the talk about the humbucker, he sure does spend a lot of time playing in the middle position and bridge.
I'll buy one when you make it at a 2-HB guitar.
Tele Deluxe
It was Keith Richards' main guitar during the 1981 and 1982 tours. He had a black one, but obviously Fender releases only Moka, Blonde and Sunburst colors...
How about the rare international colours fender did on these . Antigua, Maui Blue etc...
Apart from the supposedly rebirth of the WRH... Has anyone compared the WRH of the vintera against this new Cunife pickup?
I guess sonically they are very similar. Anyone has an opinion?
2:18 sweet
I’m waiting for an American Original 70s STRATOcaster
Is this finish still available anywhere? I just haven't been able to find it and it is the one I like the most!
Maybe I’m stupid and that’s already a song in the beginning but if that’s yours I’d take those chords and run with that idea
Is this medium c shape is same as deep c on tele professional2? Or thinner?
I want one so bad. Supply chain issues causing delays to market?
Great guitar and demo. Now, bring back the lifetime warranty.
Are you planing a left-handed modell of this American Original '70s Telecaster Custom as well?
I want this guitar just to have a guitar in open g. Also the Cunife wide range humbucker.
Dear friends at Fender,
may I ask you why there's not black finish option for these guitars?
Is it possible that you will also include the 70 Telecaster Deluxe in the American Original series in the near future?
Greetings from Rome
Alessio
oh man......i want this
Just bought a 2011 run supposedly wildwood guitar run, anyone know if it’s nitro or think skin Poly?
Looks like my 74 custom in the same finish. Even the bridge pickup sounds spot on. I would like to see Black as a finish option, and poly clear coat.
The case interior should be orange imo, like the American vintage 70s Strat.🤔
Awesome!!! I made my own WRHB's (CuNIFE poles etc) out of a set of bar-magnet reissues and I love them. Stoked to see Fender bring back the real WRHB. Theyre hands down the best humbuckers of all IMO.
Could this be the one for me?!
Need a 72 thinline model with two of the cunife humbuckers.
as a mostly gretsch and les paul player, i gotta have one of these.
Will you guys make a deluxe custom?
Tele deluxe with the same specs and color please!
Beauty eh.
And the Telecaster Deluxe?
Hopefully summer NAMM 2020. And with a trem option like the original!
face animations and emotions are turned down to 3 on every person in a Fender demo video

ワイドレンジハムバッカーってブリッジの幅と同じサイズなんだね
Ya had me at CuNiFe bruh
We really need tabs pleaasse!!!
Vintage tall frets? ..6105?
I'd say, put on some more reverb. Hell, drown it in it. We might be hearing the sound of that pickup that you had to tell so much about. You would'nt want that do you?
Please do the tele dlx!!!!
"New pickup"- Only uses the pickup alone Once. Should have highlighted it with the pedals. and $200 for ONE pickup? Really?
Open G...the easiest way to sound good, quickly.
I want one. Please daddy, buy me one.
クニフェ
Wayyyyyyy too much reverb.... But otherwise beautiful tones
That reverb+overdrive combination was nauseous
Love these guitars, shit choice of colours though 😢

Fender is now selling the CuNiFe pickups separately.
