I strictly here for the clay dots. Can’t get enough of seeing clay dots on a rosewood board
Can't believe how you waited A DAY! I think I couldn't make it and opened it 😅 I know 50s Telecasters are great, but ppl should give more praises to 60's Teles as well. They are beautiful with rosewood fretboards😍
I own a3 colour sunburst Tele 1963 with ashtray and original frets ,clay dots, rosewood board. I purchased S/H in 1965. Cool guitar. Nice video.
I just got one of these in the same finish and absolutely love it! Congratulations on yours! 🙌🏄🏼♂️
I got this too. I haven't played a Telecaster since the 90s and that's long gone. I have rule recently, no trem, no deal, but I must admit I like the feeling of playing this with the ashtray on. But what really floored me was when I heard the bridge pickup through my Princeton Reverb with only a slight delay (and more reverb from Surfy Bear). It was one of the best tones I've ever heard coming out of my amp. Don't tell my Jazzmaster.
These are nice guitars for sure!! 🎸
I hope fender has this series for awhile and builds models from every year up to the 80s.
That would be pretty cool!
Add a 4 way switch for series/parallel and that expands its versatility so much.
Congrats! I got the 61 Strat in Olympic white and love it. I’m excited about the future of this line.
Nice!! Enjoy the Strat 😄🎸
Those 61 strats from the vintage II line are insanely good. Definitly a good purchase.
beautiful guitar! nice playing too.
Thanks a lot!
Hey man, great videos! I was wondering if you can give me some information about the Matchless SC Mini, I'm looking to maybe getting one but I have no idea about how it sounds on lower volumes. Is it too loud for bedroom playing? How does it deal with pedals at that volume?
Great video nice playing going to order the same color 👍🏻
I don't currently have an electric guitar and this model is the one I'm currently the most interested in buying to solve that problem. I'm curious about one thing in this video, though. When you did the close-up on the bridge you can see it has threaded saddles. I thought this model came with the smooth stainless steel saddles; is that not the case?
I believe they are threaded
Great demo. I watched the your Epi Casino video too . Enjoy your new guitar. I am eyeing several guitars in the Vintage II line.
Thanks!! Hope you find a good one in the line up of Vintage ll’s!
Nice one Chris on the hunt for a nice lighter weight 51 Tele from this range.
I know someone who just bought the Sunburst 63 vintage 2……beautiful guitars!
I picked up the 61 Strat burst...fantastic guitar!
Awesome!!
I’ve ordered the crimson red on mahogany, looking forward to getting it. Nice review 👍
Nice demo! Really enjoyed this! And great playing. Hope to see more of you!
Thanks brother! Hope to post more soon 😊
Lovin that sound so much! The aged fret markers are a nice touch also. Have the same thing but in Squier, hated the top hat selector switch though so changed it. Those pickups though, wow juicy!!!!
Wonderful guitar ❤🎸
Very good amp 😊
Nice playing, and nice James Coffee hat! Between that and the delay pedal, I figure you have to be an angels and airwaves fan. What was the delay pedal you were using?
wow, very cool tele! have the vintage II 61 strat in 3tsb ...incredible guitars the vintage II series 👌😎
Thanks! That’s awesome about your Strat man 😄
@@chrisbrown8173 thanks man! I enyoy it a lot ...especially the pickups are perfect for a 61 model, think fender nailed it 😎
I love this colour … thinking this will be my next guitar to join my AO 1960s Stratocaster.
When you got that order. Was the key to open the case sent to you separately? Just got my telecaster in the mail and the case is locked and there is no key to open it.
great instrument it seems. Well done. What is the weight? It’s funny it looks like we have a similar rig (sc mini included which I absolutely love). Do you mind me asking what is that ES at the back? What’s on your pedalboard?
Thanks! The weight is 7 pounds 9oz.. I went for the one with the lightest weight and the darkest rosewood on the fretboard. SC-Mini is a great amp!! The ES is a Gibson 333! Working on a video today that will hopefully be out before long :) Pedalboard is always changing, but currently using a Strymon Flint, Strymon El Cap, and an older Yellow Fulltone Fulldrive 2.
@@chrisbrown8173 No way! I actually suspected it was. I also have a 333! It sounds like our rigs have a lot in common. Well done on the telecaster it looks and sounds great
Congrats on the sweet Tele. You still enjoying it as much now?
Sounds nice!
How is the action on these out-of-the-box and off-the-rack? I have Pro I and Pro II Fenders that needed a lot of work to get action down to ... 'pro'.
The neck is VERY thin, kinda like Squire Bullet thin, but still comfortable and sounds classic Tele.
Congrats, nice find, Chris. Catching up on your channel while it's only got 5 videos or so. :D
Great playing. These are the best reviews. Leave it to the store channels to go down the rabbit hole of specs. You've got a good recipe of talking and playing here. Look forward to more.
The Matchless sounded way better than the Rumble. Stick to the better amp. Keep on rocking!
That's some nice pickin', sir. I am really into this particular line. I'm after the 61 three tone burst Strat first but I think I'm gonna need one of those Teles as well. Better get me a second job!
I played one yesterday through a silver face Princeton reverb reissue. It was a nice guitar. Clay dots ✔️ neck ✔️
A bit on the heavier side, For me . . I was told probably because it's a mahogany body. It felt a bit under 8lbs. I have a 7 lb. & 7.4 LBS and one heavier but under 8 lbs.
In my opinion and I will say I play Telecasters and have 3 . 52 RI , And one I purchased new that is 60s style at 7 lbs . Beautiful guitar made in Japan and a Tele partscaster which I love with a TV Jones in the neck position and DiMarzio Special T in bridge . Paid $550 , the guy made it and after 2 years wanted something else & roasted rosewood neck all high end parts totalling over 900$ before assembly. Sorry I got carried away .
Imo the Telecaster Vintage II that I played and not for very long was a nice good guitar, but $2250? ??? I am not sure it is worth it that is for me. . Fender should come out with a Robin Ford Telecaster.
I have a white 61 Stratocaster Vintage II on order and leaning towards Dakota red also.
Nice playing but imo you can get most guitars to sound like that with distortion pedals . But how does it sound clean through a tube Princeton or Deluxe Reverb. I guess I'm old and played , had a good band for 5 years in late 60s early 70s played a lot Northern NJ , the Jersey shore , NY and played and owned Fender Gibson & Bandmaster and Bassman amps. Also here the North West for a while and have sat in many different gigs and perform single for a long time but used mostly Breedlove acoustic. I'm not saying the guitar is not worth the $$ cause the build quality is there but not for me.
Thanks for commenting brother! 😄Always great to hear about other folks on their gear journeys. Thanks for checking out the video!
Do you know the neck measurements at the 1st and 12th frets?
I'll try and measure and get back with you! Thanks
Soundin great! What made you pick the 60s tele???
Thanks! There was a few things that persuaded me to purchase..
- I loved the color
- Really liked the idea of it being a re-creation of a 1963 Tele.. that’s cool!
- Someone called this line “Custom Shop Lite”.. that appealed to me as I couldn’t afford a custom shop currently
- I wanted a thinner neck than my current Tele.. this has a C shape and feels good
- The case looks like 1963
All in all, this marked a lot of boxes for me! It’s a great guitar 🎸
@@chrisbrown8173 The neck on that tele behind you looks massive indeed!
I was checking out the K line and Mario Tele’s.. but fender released these American vintage ii’s.. and now I can’t decide. Send help. 😅
So, I purchased the same guitar, same color, model...While I like it generally speaking I was very disappointed by the factory setup. Lots of fret buzzing, too much relief. Also, I plugged it in to my Princeton reissue amp, both pickups on, middle position. I thought it sounded really nice, but a little off. I flipped up to the neck position and was blown away at how it was twice as loud and much, much fuller than the middle position. Next flipped it to the bridge position. Same story, much, much louder and fuller than the middle position. When I switched back to middle position after hearing the other two it just sounded weird and not right: Wimpy, thin, tinny, like all the air had been taken out of the guitar. I'm thinking Fender wired it incorrectly at the factory. I also have the AMVII 72 Tele and did not have the same problem with the pickups. The set up was poor on that one too. Just wondering if you experienced the same thing with yours?
I recently bought a 75 Tele Deluxe Am vin 2 from the same series and discovered the pickups were swapped from the factory! Bridge pickup was in the neck position and visa versa.. had to rewire it and sounds great now but SHEESH! Really Fender? What’s goin on over there? Hope you got it resolved.
You have more patience the I do to wait 24 hours.
It was not easy! 😂
I wouldn’t wait 😅
