Probably one of my fav youtube channels and presenters .... dude seems legit honest and not just a guy who owns a guitar store .. an employee who gives a fuck!!!! LOVE IT
Guy is a great reviewer... I have to say, every Fender I have ever bought has needed a bit of work out of the box. My Player II needed the bone nut adjusted because it was binding. For a $1,400 guitar I would figure they would come a little more perfect.
Picked one of those up in that same color. Butterscotch Blonde. It is pretty sweet. I play mine through a 5e3, sounds great, still playing around with the tones.
Best guitar at any price. I just bought my second one, in Butterscotch as above. The first one was Black and Parchment with Maple neck. The fine fretwork is wonderful. Lots of other guitars, of the same and other brands, more and less expensive, have no where near the nice smooth frets as on this. This is the most affordable American guitar you can buy of truly professional quality. No amateur should settle for less.
@@DonVal86 The Ultra also sounds great if you are wondering. Really nice feel for a Telecaster. I tried some regular teles out at store and found them uncomfortable.
How're you finding it? An considering getting one but reservations on it being pine and a soft wood. Does it seems stable? Concerned screws could tear out or that it could ding easily. Also, is it balanced or neck heavy? Sorry for loads of questions, it looks and sounds ace and I'm sure you're happy but I want to make sure. Thanks
Here's the crazy thing, I bought a sg supreme via a few videos on RUclips,1 of which was pmt, I now looking for a telecaster to complete my collection and here we are again 😂
I ordered one but the butterscotch is nowhere near that yellow, its more natural colored. Sounds great, love the toploading bridge as it makes bending easier. Replaced strings right away with ghs boomers and it doubled in tone quality.
They change colors with different lighting. I got the Pro ll Stratocaster Pine natural. I have Alotta different pics they all different. Great demo of the Butter scotch blonde
Yes! However, that would undermine their Custom Shop guitar sales. Nash or Mark Jenny is the way to go if you want a nitro finish. Or some other non-Fender brand. Their Highway One 2005 tele has a nitro finish though. The only one I'm aware of in the non-custom shop range.
Definitely better sounding than my 2022 model Player Telly (MIM) which has the same color scheme. My high notes are rather tinny and overbright compared to yours. Would you be sound kind to send me clean EQ settings that may rectify my problem. I use a Marshall 100 watt V/S Valvestate. That is if you could think up some.
I've got both,beautiful guitars,I slightly favour the pro11 because of the deep C 9.5''radius neck and narrow tall frets.The Ultra is a lovely guitar though,Fender have really improved their quality.
@@ralex3697 the American professionals just lost their value by $200, assuming the professional doesn’t get replaced and deemed obsolete by a new flagship model, you can expect it to appreciate in price by $200 in maybe 23 years. Guitars are instruments, not investments, especially a mass produced product.
I had never spent more than 500GBP on a guitar before I bought one of these after I cam into a bit of cash. Managed to get it for 1250USD after earning a little money. I have loved almost all of my other guitars but this one absolutely blows everything else I have played out of the water.
Now that could almost - very nearly almost - convert me from a Stat fan to a Tele. Must think about that . . . . MmmMmmmmmm Trouble is, I assume it's stil la beast of discomfort to play when sitting down. Excellent and varied demo without unnecessary wanky shred.
@@teleguy5699 I got one of these from a Black Friday sale - Butterscotch - like the video - getting acquainted with it. My first maple fingerboard instrument - I'm liking it: weird though, not to be looking down at dark rosewood or ebony.
@@A.D.D.O.C.D.T the only catch with the "new" pro 2 line is its not a traditional tele strat sound..kinda like the ultra etc. kind of modern....when I play the american ORIGINAL or a decent price fender custom shop....you get the classic twang and chime...these new ones are rounded out tonewise...Just my thoughts....are u getting one??? good luck!
Dont buy the pine, it is much lighter but loses the depth of tone that its alder counterpart has. I played both side by side and the difference is very noticeable in tone and even the neck of the pine was less friendly somehow.

Well said!!
Good to hear a guitar being demonstrated showing us all the clean tones and not just overdrive and distortion !
Can we all admit with this dude playing he could dang near sell any guitar
He is really a great player
Make anything sound good
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!!!!
Just wanted to say you are consistently a great guitar gear reviewer!
Truth!!
Finally, something great to come out of 2020!
I love this guy’s energy. Makes his playing more fun and interesting
Terrific demo. Nice how you have the amp set to clean up and distort according to guitar volume.
Very pleased to say that I've just ordered this exact guitar from the Newcastle store 🙌🏻
hey Dagan love your videos. You and Andertons are the only guitar youtubers who I think provides us with a good demo and a good review
We appreciate that! We also love the guys at Andertons too!
Fender is going to sell a lot of those.

Best video I've watched on the Telecaster model as far as making me wish to purchase one goes. What an amazing guitarist. Many thanks Indeed.
Brilliantly constructed review, lots of tone options demoed, well done 👍
Picked one of those up in that same color. Butterscotch Blonde. It is pretty sweet. I play mine through a 5e3, sounds great, still playing around with the tones.
How did the energy grease for the balance?
I've had this Tele for over a year now, it's great

Bought one today. Within a minute I knew I needed to own it.
Have you compared it to he Ultra? Not sure but seems like the Ultra is missing a bit of the sound.
@@gutenbird Not yet. I gotta get my hands on one. All the stores near me have been low on supplies :/
@@DonVal86 The Ultra also sounds great if you are wondering. Really nice feel for a Telecaster. I tried some regular teles out at store and found them uncomfortable.

great review as always
Mine arrived last week, thanks guys, it's fantastic!👍
Gorgeous upgrade to the best axe in the business.

Just bought the dark knight blue colour! Had too it was just to gorgeous to pass up on!🍺🎸🇨🇦

70 year old technology and they did it on the first try
Man that sounds mean. Love that extra tone
I ordered one but the butterscotch is nowhere near that yellow, its more natural colored. Sounds great, love the toploading bridge as it makes bending easier. Replaced strings right away with ghs boomers and it doubled in tone quality.
You probably have the 75th anniversary version. I’ve noticed those don’t have the aged yellow color compared to the regular ones.
They change colors with different lighting. I got the Pro ll Stratocaster Pine natural. I have
Alotta different pics they all different. Great demo of the Butter scotch blonde
The black one is so perfect. Black body maple neck.
dude u sound the best on this guitar
Amazing guitar. My favorite guitar is a fender. Have a wonderful day.
Me too
Love Fender
It’d be badass if they could make it in a nitro finish as well.
Yes! However, that would undermine their Custom Shop guitar sales. Nash or Mark Jenny is the way to go if you want a nitro finish. Or some other non-Fender brand. Their Highway One 2005 tele has a nitro finish though. The only one I'm aware of in the non-custom shop range.
The fender american original is an option
Fantastic player
Gorgeous guitar
Nice guitar. Nice playing.
best part is my boy Dagan's description of the neck. ''It got what is called a supernatural finish which feels natural............ but it's super''
Definitely better sounding than my 2022 model Player Telly (MIM) which has the same color scheme. My high notes are rather tinny and overbright compared to yours. Would you be sound kind to send me clean EQ settings that may rectify my problem. I use a Marshall 100 watt V/S Valvestate. That is if you could think up some.
that sounds absolutely amazing damn
now if only i could afford one
Dagan is the goat
He's the Russell Brand of guitar.
As soon as I saw this vid I said ok here is where to go to see if the this tele can rock out
I need nitro, ash body and jumbo frets.
Love mine!!!
What is better the ultra or the professional
Professional
Ultra
I've got both,beautiful guitars,I slightly favour the pro11 because of the deep C 9.5''radius neck and narrow tall frets.The Ultra is a lovely guitar though,Fender have really improved their quality.
great for the modern player but not even Fender Ultras have stainless steel frets
Dagan is a cool cat plays great & well knowledgeable about the gear
$1499 US honestly doesn’t feel overpriced *at all* for one of these. Good deal. But I’ve never spend more than $400 on a guitar.
It is 2239.00 in Canada
This guitar will not lose its value, gorgeous

G&L ASAT is still better. 😎 But that's a great guitar

Good vid-p
Rosewood or Maple fingerboard people?
me recomenda a compra dela
Surprised it's alder and not ash wood for the body. Still looks amazing tho.
Ash is getting scarce.
@@teleguy5699 It's not either - likely roasted pine.
@@HSet77 Yeah the new BSB American Pro 2's are pine.
@@teleguy5699 I got one of these from a Black Friday sale - Butterscotch - like the video - getting acquainted with it. My first maple fingerboard instrument - I'm liking it: weird though, not to be looking down at dark rosewood or ebony.
@@HSet77 I imagine. I got the maple Elite neck on my Mod Shop guitar. I love the satin feel and the gloss fingerboard. Happy playing! 🎸
Dang
🤘
Dagan ,where are these made brother ?
Which ones are pine ,which ones are ash ?
Thanks as always 🙏🤘🔥🎸
pine !! and usa
Pine is the ones that show wood grain. Alder the rest. Ash is for vintage and custom models because of scarcity.
@@soofitnsexy Thanks for the reply mate
@@teleguy5699 Appreciate the info mate

“I want that”
I thought the butterscotch blonde is roasted pine.
Still prefer yosemites, according to my taste.
Yes, nice but this is grittier and better
Can't afford 😭
Ak47 of guitars!
Thanks for getting rid of that nasty Orange you were demoing with - I can hear how nice this guitar sounds.
It’s pine
👍🏿🤘
Dont buy the pine, it is much lighter but loses the depth of tone that its alder counterpart has. I played both side by side and the difference is very noticeable in tone and even the neck of the pine was less friendly somehow.
If only they made the alder with the butterscotch Pine finish.
Dayum! Can you talk faster plz?! Guess everyone interested is an avid English speaking bloke from Newcastle!!
First
1700 for one is a lot they are so familiar to the fender plus series.
It sounds very late 50's remind me of la-bommba Richie valance......
I thought the butterscotch blonde is roasted pine.
I've just bought a butterscotch blonde pro11 and it is a pine body which makes it a bit lighter.
