We get asked all the time about our main guitars, so this video introduces Dan’s new Fender Custom Shop 1952 Heavy Relic Telecaster to the TPS Family… compared of course to Dan’s NOG (Number One Guitar), Ol’ Red.
Ol’ Red really is a spectacular guitar - a Fender Custom Shop ’63 Telecaster that Dan has had from new. It’s done a lot of gigs. The question on everybody’s lips: how do they compare in sound? Let’s find out…
The new guitar is…
2017 Fender Custom Shop 1952 Heavy Relic Telecaster
Ash body in Heavy Relic Butterscotch Blonde
Maple neck with ’65 Strat ‘C’ shape
51 Nocaster Relic neck pickup
51 Nocaster Relic bridge pickup
Medium jumbo frets on a 9.5-inch radius ’board

It would be really interesting to see you guys do a Warmoth parts guitar build each
Or break out the soldering irons and make one of those "build your own pedal" kits.
I'd be up for seeing them do their own builds, seems like a cool idea
It's all fun and games until they build a Jan Ray clone for £40 and it sounds the same
William Billington *crickets*
Yes!
I was completely astounded at how different Red sounded in Mick's hands vs. Dan's. Wow. That was the best demonstration of "tone in the fingers" that I've ever heard, and it was a single chord.
Absolutely! Me too! Not only the tone, but the volume seemed different in different hands too. Fascinating.
Since Red is #1,
The new one reminds me of a warn in, chewed on #2 Pencil
So "Yellow #2"
Guys - we need a “It sounds thusly” t-shirt!
Vince Tuckwood I would have given 2 thumbs up for this if I could have. Well done sir!!
I think we can all agree that Mick needs a tele of his own now
Oisin McPhillips he does!
I have at least one somewhere. It’s a Tele that doesn’t sound especially Tele-like. It’s been on a video I think. I LOVE Teles, but it’s Dan’s guitar. ;0)
That Pedal Show it’s the one with a TV Jones Classic at the neck right? Made me want to do exactly the same with my ‘98 MIM Nashville Deluxe :)
I have a Tele with a TV Jones in the neck. SO WORTH IT.
17:02 "A German you met on holiday" fell out of my chair laughing.
11:40 is priceless
M: So give me some open chords
D: OK. **Adds verb and delay and plays gorgeous complex fretted chord with a harmonic**
M: **What the....how..what...oh come on!**
I just laughed out loud at this very thing, hilarious.
how about a show about 335's? collings, gibson or heritage etc., specs and sounds
I'll second that! Might as well show the whole family. 335, 345, 355, and maybe the Casino and 330?
mattiv1 +1, especially Casino. They don’t seem to get much coverage on guitar stuff in general, which is a shame as IMO they are quite their own thing and I’d love a bit more on how they play with pedals especially.
Genuinely inspirational playing, friends. Dan almost brought me to tears at one point, truly special. You two “can’t play it far better than I can’t play it.” ;)
Man, this episode was fascinating on so many levels. The Teles both sound awesome in their own way and to learn of the construction and design refinements between the '52 and '63 models are incredibly interesting. It's also fun to see Mick following Dan's shapes and licks (a scene I've witnessed in countless writing sessions) but also how relaxed the musical simpatico is between the both of you.
And oh boy, that Analog Man Sunface...I could listen to that hazy sparkle until the cows come home. It sounds like the sun feels on the back of your neck on a summer afternoon.
The 52 has a lower mid hump but the harmonic frequencies are perfectly aligned in it to bring out a certain shimmer. Both are such amazing guitars!!!
Yes! Halftime show is back!!
I love the shimmer and chime of the '52! Sounds so good
I have the coveted pleasure of performing a set up and intonation job on a 1952 Telecaster today. Thank you for this video. Your timing is impeccable. I'll have video on my RUclips channel later today.
The sounds at the end when you’re running the Tele’s through the D&M > ARP-87 > Hall of Fame are GLORIOUS.
Dan all you need now is a rosewood Tele and you'll have a brunette, blonde, and a ginger, and you'll be the envy of every man!! 😍
I was away and am catching up on these shows. Fantastic stuff. These are two glorious guitars. And nice to mention Ted Greene : I met him once. A beautiful guy and the most astounding guitarist I could ever imagine. May he rest in peace.
Rarely watch from start to finish but this one had me hooked!
I love seeing you guys go deep down the tone nerd rabbit hole.
My take homes:
You need at least two Teles, (Dan’s the man to tell us how many).
Watching older videos causes ‘Dan beard confusion’!
I bought my first Tele aa few weeks ago. I absolutely love it. Purely by coincidence, it’s exactly the same spec as Dans 52 except is relic rather than heavy relic and it’s a nocaster. Same 65 C neck, same pickups, same woods, same odd dull patch on the pickguard! I had to look twice at Dans to spot differences. Great great guitar, and instantly recognisable Tele tone. The only time I’ve instantly loved a guitar without needing time to get used to it.
Absolutely love these videos
Huge kudos for the Ted Greene reference. He got some pretty amazing tones out of the bridge pickup, too:) Really an otherworldly talent. You can play anything on a Telecaster that can be played on an electric guitar.
Balls tingling with the harmonic at 11.50 👏🏻👏🏻😆
I've been a longtime fan of you guys since you began the show. Forget being humble, you guys have the best gear demo show out there. I especially love videos like this where your passion for the music really comes through, and the emphasis on the gear becomes secondary.
Thank you Chad, very kind of you to say! We love doing this and it’s a privilege to be able to do it!
Red is a very special telecaster. I've heard plenty that sound like the ash-body custom, and it's funny because even the cheaper Am Std telecasters can get in that ballpark. As for Red, I think acoustically it rings pretty loud, and the different saddles and the rosewood board are the biggest reason for them to be closer. In general hardware can make a pretty big difference in the sound of the guitar, wood, not quite as much. That being said, I find the fretboard to make a huge difference in some of my favorite instruments.
60s Tele pickups are very different than 50s. Same goes for Strats. I think both sound exactly what they should sound like. There's a video of American Vintage guitars on Guitarist. The differences between the 64 and 52 are pretty much the same differences shown here. The same is true of American Original videos on Andertons. Most Telecasters are designed after the early 50s. Most aftermarket pickup builders don't even make 60s Tele pickups. Everyone thinks a Tele should sound like an early 50s. I thought that too until I played a AV64.
Preferred 'Blondie' for the Nice Chords. The extra clarity suited it beautifully.
Kevin I preferred it too. And actually preferred it with the pickup lower. Sounded for full and not straight forward
Man, I gotta be honest, Red is just that one special guitar. it's just a killer
Gasp! I thought you’d never play Dan’s tele on camera Mick! Great show! Two different sounding beasts, but both are stellar!
I absolutely love the Keeley Germanium Super Phat Mod!
My fav for a good while now...
It can rip your head off but still cleans up nicely...
Great stuff, guys. I also have two Teles: an original ‘53 and a ‘96 (Cunetto) Relic Nocaster. Both fab guitars but quite different in both sound and feel. The ‘53 is raw, twangy & yet darker than most folks expect. The blackguards aren’t as hifi as later Teles. Soft V neck, unusual for a ‘53. The Relic has a bridge pickup wound with 43 gauge wire (the hotter early sound Mick mentioned) and is a rowdy rocker. Slimmer, flatter neck. Been looking for ages for a rosewood board Tele to complete the set.
I've just acquired an new Tele that I like very much. An ash (nicely tinted) body with maple fingerboard and black guard. I named her "Sweet T". Being from the southwestern US it's a play on our favorite beverage "sweet tea". I think it's much more clever than the name of my other Tele which is "Yellow". Naming guitars is a very important ritual evidently. Best of luck in finding the perfect moniker Dan. And as usual, a fascinating show.
+Brad Allen cheers Brad :)
One thing that was pretty apparent to me is that the Walrus Audio ARP-87 Delay sounded pretty cool :-)
Thank you! I was trying to figure out what pedal that was.
I’ve literally never been fond of Teles, but when Dan plays those quiet, pretty chords with delay on his red Tele, I finally understand what people like about them, it sounds incredible!
+Eli Hansen ah, cheers Eli :)
Thanks guys! I love how similar and different the guitars sound. I sold my staggered rosewood Tele years ago after playing a Nocaster at the Dallas Guitar Show. It was the Tele I heard in my head. I built a swamp ash Tele with a Duncan Antiquity flat pole bridge pick up and that’s the sound for me! Much more spank and cut. I love Red, but I agree with Mick 100%. That new Tele is happening and gives you room in a dynamic band. Spot on with the Ted Greene comments too! RIP to the GOAT when it comes to guitar harmony. This episode was so splendidly nerdy.
How about calling it Butter? Seems to play like butter. Both sound great . Red sounds better for more aggressive rock.
I do like "Red & Butter"
That is killer...never thought of that. Red & Butter. Staples of everyday life (of a guitar player).
Best Comment!!!! Red and Butter!!!
Great episode guys. As fascinating as the difference between the guitars is, the amazing thing is how, when you swapped instruments, the maple Tele in Dan's hands sounded more like the Red Tele. I always knew that much of the tone is generated is generated by the hands, but that was an astounding audible proof.
It’s a combination of guitar and player, always. Always always always. :0)
The middle position on the relic sounds absolutely stunning, but there's so much variation to be had by tweaking the pickup heights. I've done the same to my own tele, which did sound a bit flat. Once I spent some time with a screwdriver she came to life. Perhaps the relic will do the same?
Such a good video. A simple but perfect demo of the differences between a 50' and a 60's Tele. I had to pause the video halfway through to pick up my 50"s Baja Tele because I was inspired. Well done!!
+Mike Adams ah, awesome, cheers mike :)
Dan: you just interviewed Jeorge Tripps.....put that 50's Tele into a Red Llama and a Fender Amp.....it's heaven!!!!
Loved that ending run at the opening play Dan! Bend from f# to g and then resolve into A. Nice stuff!
+edthejester ah, cheers mate :)
Buggers! Just fired up the laptop to do a quick 20 mins worth of work before hitting the hay (It's nearly 1:30am here in Sydney), and then I see the notification for this vid... Lucky I don't need a lot of sleep!
Sweet dreams Justin!
Really love all the nuanced harmonics in both the high and low frequencies. Trademark Fender sound at it's best.
I have a 1975 rosewood fingerboard tele. I love it. I just sold an American vintage reissue 1952 tele. My dilemma is, should I get another mid 70s rosewood fingerboard tele, or should I go for a custom shop 59 or 63 rosewood board tele. I used to own a 1959 back in the mid 80s. I sold it to help with the purchase of our first home. Best wishes, mates.
Man oh man. Two of the best teles I've seen and heard. Dan's playing at 22 - 25 mins was sublime.
Somehow the 52 sounds clearer to me...especially on the clean stuff. I think it does have something to do with the midrange you were talking about. Think it sounds great and is a good one next to Red!!
Tuesdays are great again!
I think someone dumped a whole bunch of dust in my office when I was listening to this video... right after I reached the 24:01 mark. ;-) Now *that* is a "holy grail tone" for my ears.
The boy has some tone! :0)
Thanks for this comparison. My Custom Shop 52 Heavy Relic Telecaster ('51 Nocaster Bridge and Twisted Tele Neck pups) is an absolute delight to play. But that '63 sounds awesome. Good to have both!
A while back I watched the video on Ol' Red and I looked up the pickup specs and had my local guy wind a set with similar specs to put in my mim std telecaster. I don't know if it sounds like Ol' Red, but it sounds great.
You guys should definitely see what pickup is inside the red tele . I’m asking for a friend . Thanks
Did some research and it seems to be just a Fender 1963 pickups
If you want to compare 2 telecaster you have to raise pickups untill that 52 has the same volume power as the red one on both pickups. Than it would be fair comparisson. All 2017 CS Telecaster come with very low setted pickups. Nocasters come to life only close to strings. Especialy the relicked ones, they have treated pole peaces , which takes some power off the magnet. And they sound weak in low position.
Great Video! Check the Pot Values, the Cap Value, the wiring and the titanium saddles all this makes a great difference in tone and overall Volume!
+Rolf Dinter 100%
Great show guys! Really interesting. It certainly shows that whilst all Teles have that "Teleness" thing, they are also different. I have an American Special Tele (which is my number one) and it's different again. Some very tasty playing there too chaps!
Lovely show boys. I’m thrilled you’ve done this comparison. Ill admit I was prepared for “Yeller” to knock “Old Red” down a peg or two, but no!
As good as the ‘52 RI sounds the ‘63 still has it for me. Not that Y doesn’t sound great, it does.
However, the real joy of this edition of TPS is to hear you two play. You really do rather well. You two and Mary Spender should make a record.
I believe very early tele (esquires broadcaster nowcaster and 52-53??) tele were wound with 43g wire on both pups- this of course does take off top end and makes the guitar more middy. I love the white guard era when they went with the 42g heavy formvar on both leading to a more mid scooped spankier tone
I think also the earliest had A2 or A# (again-can'r remember which) and the later 50s had the A5 which also lends to the mid scooped sound.
That Walrus Audio ARP-87 is the best sounding delay I've ever heard. Demoed one the other day. This video has me convinced I should by an NKT Red Dot as well.
+tommyskyridge such a mega founding delay :)
Listened to this again today. I now realise I need some Nocaster pick ups for my tele.
Nice. Had myself a great straturday. Bought myself a Haar strat in faded fiesta red, tort pickguard, Klein ‘62 pups AND got my other strat back from service.
+Tom Wahl Haar Guitars are great :)
ah, but distance is effectively time when the distance is distant enough. LOL. I had to revisit this show yet again. Still just love it.
Shoutout to Don Mare! Got a set of Maxon Z stamped U2000 HBs tweaked by Don. HBs aren’t really his thing but these are killer. 😄
God damn Ol' Red is amazing. I have a Mattos Custom Esquire with a handmade broadcaster spec pickup that approximates ol' Red's push, but good lord that thing is magical.
a couple of years ago i bought a butterscotch blonde tele MIM, best tele ever, even my friends custom shop dint sounded as good as mine, i love this classic color and yest it has more twang than other teles, it has standard fender pickups i just changed the pots to allow some darker tones but its soo bright and twangy i love it, great video guys
+Reyvil Stark nice, yeah, so great when you find that magic guitar :)
When I got my ‘52 loaded with new pickups it immediately became my #1, but where have i heard that tone......? Can’t think of a song, or a player.....hmmmmm.... IT WAS DAN!! Love it.
@10:48 i guess you were right about those special frequencies red puts out lol
You guys are the best just so funny and entertaining keep doing what you guys are doing!!!
Thank you!
I think a lot of that mid-range difference is attributable to the titanium saddles. Red has that slightly reduced initial attack, but more rounded decay that Ti saddles seem to promote. A more 'piano' like quality if you will.
one of my favorite episodes to date. I'm still in love with Red!! both sound so good though (:
+pedro escarcega yeah, I love both, but Red still sounds amazing
I agree with you about the finish. I love guitars with a very thin nitro or oil finish. I love how it feels to the touch. And I also have the feeling that it sounds different. That's why I have the older and "cheap" Worn Brown and Tribute P90 Gibson Les Pauls. I like them much much more than the "fancy" standards with high gloss finish. I mean, yes, a flame maple top looks awesome, but feeling and sound is more important to me than the look.
See I feel like there’s a harshness in the tone range of the red one. But I own two teles and both you have to adjust the tone knob to roll off the harsh edges..
Led me add both of mine are MIMs. One is a 92 and the other a 97. The 97 has the mini neck humbucker. Pretty much stock. I would not change anything on them. Though now I’m going to lower my single coil a tiny bit to see if I can get that sweeter sound they had at first before they raised the pickup.
I love that Mick's tshirt says "Schwang" on it.. 😂😂
Nice surprise on a Tuesday guys. I really liked the Blackguard on the cleaner sounds; much less bass and lower mids. Red kicks Black's butt however when "bringing forth the rock", but the blackguard would probably sound really good in a live mix especially with a mid focused amp. Nice playing at the end by the way Dan :-)
I've had a 51 Nocaster relic for about 15 years and it's my number 1 guitar. I literally played it for 5 minutes and bought it on the spot. The Nocaster bridge pu is my all-time fav pu. What is the difference between the Nocaster and the 52 relic? Neck profile? My Nocaster neck is a baseball bat, which I love.
And thanks for putting out such a great channel, you guys are awesome!
I’ve a 51 NOS Nocaster(dec’04) with a factory compound radius neck. Same as you, I played it and immediately purchased it. My #1 ever since. If these guys ever come to New York I’ll bring it over to them for a look see!
Dan’s has a ‘65 C Strat neck profile. He doesn’t like them super clubby (I do - Mick here). :0)
Red really is something special. Owning that guitar would really put a damper on want we all have of wanting more guitars, because every time you would bring a new one home and play it next to Red it would be a punch in the gut.
My 52’ reissue has the same volume drop compared to one of my Kiesel’s for example, I have a Seymour Duncan pickup booster on the board which is good for boosting the volume without changing the guitars voice. Great vid gents.
+Steve Macneil cheers Steve :)
Thoroughly enjoyed that. Thanks. It seemed to me that the ‘63 had more ‘natural’ sustain than the ‘52, but my ears are not as discerning as most players
Great show guys. I do this at home too, going through three VERY different-sounding Telecasters, trying to put a finer point on what exactly about them sounds and resonates (!) so differently.
Sounds to me that the maple board sounds louder in the upper mids, while the rosewood board has a bump in the lower midrange. Or maybe the blonde is more scooped in the lower mids.
Hell, what do I know? I'm a bass player!
Guys, great show. Was wonderful to see the differences between the two. I actually own a Custom Shop 50s Duo Tone that has an Ash center with Alder wings. It weighs 7 pounds even. It has traits of both woods. Keep the great vids coming!
Had to watch this with a napkin under my chin to stop the drooling haha. Awesome Dan.
+Darren C Ha! Nice ;)
Hey guys would have been useful to get your opinions on the sound of the guitars unplugged (I know the sound might not have recorded well) but I've got a tele that is so lively unplugged it sounds almost semi like. I bought it having tried three identical guitars years ago but two of them were dead compared. Definitely makes a difference to the sounds when amplified.
Lovely to see that 2 fabulous instruments have fallen into the right hands. Knowledgeable people talking about great guitars....I love this.
Cheers Steve - mucho appreciation!
The thing is Dan is playing on the Marshall with the 63, even when he switched with the 52, he still has more high end and a larger range of frequencies in my opinion! I wonder also what's the difference between both pickups outputs level? Keep going guys you rock! I
The bridge pickup in the red tele is a Fender Custom Shop Twisted Tele. I have a set CS Twisted Tele set(bridge/neck)that I had installed in my Elite and they are great.
Been trying (like many) to figure it out also haha. If you look closely you can see its actually staggered pole white rope whereas twisted tele bridges are flat pole blackrope. Maybe its a texas special?
@@clintwhite3021 The pole pieces on a MIM Twisted Tele pickup maybe flat, but not the actual Fender Custom shop ones. I just looked at mine, which are Fender CS and they are staggered.
@@mseabs741 Oh crazy, I was just on the fender custom shop website, that's what they look like but maybe they are actually MIM. I have about a 2005ish 52 hot rod reissue with the Seymour Duncan mini humbucker in the neck. Had a tech immediately replace the bridge with a lil 59 and push pull pot for playing covers. I assume there was some resistors originally in there. Still trying to find the correct bridge pickup specs (its 7.7k flat pole black rope) but also the wiring diagram to bring it back to original. Currently though there is a Rumplestiltskin 11k 1950 black rope bridge in there. Might try the original again as it'd be closer to Dan's ol red. Want more of a rock tone but that clean chime a low output gives lol.
@@mseabs741 Thank for the info. All very interesting :)
The Name shall be Ashley. What a lovely journey into sound, splendid tasting of sounds. Sherlock Holmes’ Mrs. Hudson would say “Oh my lovely boys” and poor some unsolicited tea.
+Tomsdrawings Ha! And we shall except her tea and imbibe accordingly ;)
Love all guitars, but teles are definitely my favourite. Another great video chaps! 👌😁
the tone in the intro is god dammed amazing!
1-piece maple neck makes for twang and spank! I find chords just meld better when hit hard, whereas a rosewood board gives back some string separation and harshness when whacked.
Just ordered a shirt its about time, I'll just have to wait for the D&M Drive too
Thank you much! And thanks for watching. :0)
The Dan "Red Special" is SO good! I think the best part is that Dan has a real connection to it, and it is just an extension of him that allows the creativeness and inspiration to flow. That is indeed a special thing.
+nicholas ditolla ah, thanks so much. I don’t have the best licks but I always try and be creative, and Red sure does help me do that
That Pedal Show I once saw Albert Collins do a one note solo for around a minute... it's ALL about the feel and touch, and you got it!
I'm just wondering if the pickup height settings were Identical. Both sound great. I guess it depends on which is your cup of tea. Love this video! Oh, okay. I wrote the first half of this comment at about 10 minutes into the video. Later, they adjusted the Black pickguard's bridge pickup. Just what I expected if they were both similarly set. What a stellar example and a lesson to be learned about pickup adjustment! You have to fiddle with your adjustments to find the full potential of every guitar. Name suggestion for the '52, Marilyn. (as in Monroe)
+Jakexx01 like it!
Would it have been an idea to compensate for the volume, just to get a better comparison? Ah, you did about halfway through.
Of course, all personal taste, but maybe would've been better to drop the height of Red's instead?
Maybe not. At 21:43 the sound is incredible
One observation about Fender CS instruments:
I owned two '62 Reissue Jazz Basses, made in 1989, one serial number apart, built by the same luthier (according to the name in the neck cavity.)
I still have one. Sold the other.
They sounded completely different! I got "my sound" out of the "keeper", but no matter what I tried, I couldn't get the other to sound or feel the same.
I have absolutely no idea why they were so different...
100 per cent. Wood. People say it doesn’t make any difference. It makes all the difference. Mick here. :0)
It’s weird that i never understood the appeal of the tele. And now I need to buy one.
Dan's 63 NOS is from the "time machine" series. I have an '04 model. They are great guitars, congratulations on your new 52 CS Dan, I hope to hear it through your lazy J. cheers
OMG I love both of those guitars. Dan is a man of impeccable taste when it comes to Teles.
What a nice Tuesday morning surprise!
It was great to watch Mick have to work so hard to play Dan's licks...it goes to show how individual we are as players. It's so difficult to mimic not only another players sound but also the nuance of their unique style. I feel better about my struggles to play like my heros! Also, the best comment was Mick about his strat being played through a Klon and his 100 watt Two Rock to sound like Dan's red tele. You can listen to youtubers demo petals, amps and guitars but it will never sound the same for you in your home or studio. Every piece of gear is unique for you as a player and your rig. I understand this now and put every gear demo I watch in this context.
That’s great! It’s exactly the point. The tone isn’t solely in the gear and it’s not solely in the player. It’s in the connection between the two - that’s where sound and great playing comes from in my opinion. One of our main goals with TPS is to help everyone discover their own happy place, rather than saying this or that is ‘best’. Understand what works for you... the result is better tone and better playing. Cheers!
After the pickup adjustment, Butters sounded absolutely mindblowing! It was much clearer than Red, which is something that pleased me very much.
Love both but the 52' just has a crisp crystalline snap to it that I find pleasing to my ear. As for a name how about Amarillo just a nicer way to say Yellow
You've been teasing me for months. DEAR GOD please use that Emanating Fist Dope Priest in the back!!!!
