Just bought one of these after playing every tele in the shop. It left all others standing . The pickups are outrageous and the workmanship and build quality is really special
Mark you're playing is so enjoyable - you're one of the very few guitarists on RUclips which displays real dynamics which comes across in the audio. Bravo and thanks !
After 3 years I still come to watch this video... best telecaster élite video and best tecnique... the man knows how to play a guitar... I try to inspire from you but you are from another planet 🎸🎸🎸
Normally I despise that overdrive sound on 99% of YT videos. But this demo reminds me of the Dumble sound that Larry Carlton and Robin Ford have and I DO like their tone. Nice playing too.
I have this exact model/color. Worth the buy! I absolutely LOVE this guitar! I play on an Orange ppc412 cab and an Orange Rockerverb 100 MKIII You definitely get what you pay for with this guitar.
Best sounding demo of 4th Generation Noisless I could find on youtube. They really favor Mark's clean finger style playing, but the overdrive sounded good too.
amazing playing as always and great reviewof this very good guitar, i just love the new pickups! thanks a lot always a pleasure to see your videos , lot´s of business for you guys!
I have this exact model and color and it’s a great guitar. I like it more than my other Teles, the noiseless pickups are the best they have ever made. Only complaint is that the body contouring changed the balance of the guitar and when standing, the neck side pulls down enough to make you work and adjust to keep it up, unless you like it really low. Otherwise it’s a great guitar and the best single coil guitar I have ever owned.
oh yes. i have the elite also. it's an outstanding guitar. it's a lot of fun to play, no matter which amp plugged in, it always sounds amazing. i have many guitars but this one stands out.
being slightly inexperienced with the Tele would you say I holds true to the classic Tele sound? I had a chance to play one and just loved it however I didn't have any other models to compare it to. great video.
WHAT THE PROBLEM WITH THE DESIGN DEFECT ON THESE WHERE THE STRINGS GO THROUGH THE BACK OF THE BODY BREAKING OUT. HAVE THE COME UP WITH A FIX YET OR ARE THEY IN DENIAL ?
+prettdboy These are 2 completely different guitars so, at that point, it's best to play them and decide for yourself... If you are local to Pittsburgh PA area, swing by! Thanks for checkin' out our channel!!!
+prettdboy haha i've been contemplating the exact same thing. I have an american strat really want that PRS to mix it up and I played a Custom 24 at GC and it was pure butter.
Oh man, @6:00 this is the moment that makes you wanna pick up your guitar and try to play something similar. And then, of course, you realize what you play is shit :D
The binding should be tortoise and in combination with a tortoise pick guard. Black doesn't work well with this body color.I concur with DucksDeLucks comments.
Loving the sound of this particular Tele; reminds me of that funky rhythm sound Prince used to get...RIP Purple One.

This man, MarK Lucas, does the best demo videos around.
After 3 years I still come to watch this video... best telecaster élite video and best tecnique... the man knows how to play a guitar... I try to inspire from you but you are from another planet 🎸🎸🎸
Beautiful playing. Definitely one of the better videos I've seen for these Teles.
+John Lowrance We agree!!! Thanks for the kind words!

Good to have you back Mark! Nice review and as usual, great playing. Thanks
Brilliant video. No tricks, just raw talent and a quality guitar.
Mesmerizing playing. The Telecaster is amazing too!
Mark! Your best video ever. We need to see more of your soloing.Keep it coming. It makes a big difference in your reviews.
Always love seeing a new clip with Mark Lucas... great playing! Great guitar!
Mark getting FUNKY WIT IT! Nice playing as usual.
softest hands I've ever seen, great technique.
Gorgeous guitar and playing. I just bought this very model.
Still have it? And are you still enjoying?
All the guitars sound fantastic in Mark's hands .
A BIG DITTO
This is why can’t trust these reviews. I watch them only to hear him play. He could play a big baguette and make it sound fantastic.
Your demos are really fantastic Mark...really enjoy them.
Mark always does excellent videos - thanks for another great demo!
I am buying one of these soon
Lovely playing.
Wow great playing!
I think that would look nice with a tortoise shell pick guard and maybe even binding too.
Just the way it is man
I would love to see the Elite Thinline Tele (natural)! It's beautiful.... even more played by you Mark!

NOTHING IN THE UNIVERSE OUT PLAYS A FENDER TELECASTER !!!
You are a wise man my friend!
santa maria~!~~ that intro playing WOW, but the tele sound cool too
Funky & solid man! Tele is nice too.
I can't tell what guitar is good and what is not from Marco's playing, he is just too good
Great video man, I'm definitely getting one better start saving 😂
Your one of the best guitar player there is.
Great playing 2👍
Brilliant!!
Mark Lucas: best demo player ever.
Holy Cow!
Thanks for a comprehensive and most AWESOME review! I'll take three, please! hahaha
Great!
I'm stealing some of your outside improv stuff, hope that's ok. Superb playing.
Mark Lucas and Mike Hermans best demo players.
What telecaster will you say fits better in the jazz tones? Thanxs. Great Mark playing!!!
being slightly inexperienced with the Tele would you say I holds true to the classic Tele sound? I had a chance to play one and just loved it however I didn't have any other models to compare it to. great video.
They're not medium jumbo frets, but the narrow tall ones.
That color combo seems to be quite rare. Most of what I've seen have a white pick guard which doesn't look as cool as the one you are demoing.
The only 2 colors that offer a black pickguard on these models are the Butterscotch as shown in this video, and the Mystic Black
Badass!
How much to buy this man's fingers? Wow. Sounds incredible.
WHAT THE PROBLEM WITH THE DESIGN DEFECT ON THESE WHERE THE STRINGS GO THROUGH THE BACK OF THE BODY BREAKING OUT. HAVE THE COME UP WITH A FIX YET OR ARE THEY IN DENIAL ?
The S1 switch is also for the bridge position….
No it's not....only works on middle position
What about the no load function?
...badass! ;)
J.K. Simmons in recovery from whiplash🤫
Professor Charles Xavier can play
S Lover Imagine Magnetos pickup
hello mark what scales used??????
Would you say this sounds more like a traditional tele than a tele baja with its twisted/broadcaster pickups combo?
I would say it sounds like a Telecaster Elite it has its own character
I came here to buy a guitar, but after watching this, I would rather pay you to come to my house and play for me......
sweet
These are BRASS saddles .
Should I get this or a PRS Custom 24?
+prettdboy You should get them both!! We can take care of that for you too.....
+N Stuff Music I only have enough for 1. Any recommendations?

To be honest as soon as these guys start playing through distortion pedals it could really be any tele/guitar!
ferraridinoman without the noise
Tasty Choppers !
kind of phishy at the beginning!
Oh man, @6:00 this is the moment that makes you wanna pick up your guitar and try to play something similar. And then, of course, you realize what you play is shit :D
Sounds too modern for me. I love american standard/vintage lines.
Changing the pickups would make a difference, no?
I'm thinking of swapping the pickups for the same reason. hopefully I can get a natural vintage tone. the elite feels amd looks like gold!

Marco Polo......
YOU CAN ALSO KEEP ALL THOSE WORTHLESS PEDALS FOR KIDDIES !!!!!
That binder is ugly and un-Telecaster. Great playing.

What binder ?
