Just bought the HSS Strat in the green. Wasn't too sure about the colour at first but I love it now. The guitar itself is awesome. My first real Fender after 3 Squiers! 👍
I threw a Freeway 5-Way/10 Position Switch and Fralin Blues Specials in my Nashville Tele. Gives me Strat pickup combos, classic Tele combos and Series combos. The Guitar can make Every sound I want now.
I have a Nashville Tele from the Fender Deluxe line. It's a fantastic guitar, especially if you're like me and you like to run through a lot of pedals. The Vintage Noiseless pickups have pretty high-headroom, so you can stack lots of overdrives in between the guitar and amp for a really broad range of tones.
My first guitar was a Nashville Tele. I miss that guitar. The tonal palette I'm missing right now is the H in an HSS though. So my brain says HSS Strat. My heart says Nashville Tele. ...and my wallet says "Are you HIGH?? NOTHING! You get NOTHING!"
I have three HSS Strats- 2 MIA, and 1 MIM. I don't have a Nashville Tele.. I keep wondering how hard/expensive it would be to drop a Bigsby on one of those butterscotch Nashville's..
Being a long time HSS and HSH player, I was totally floored when I took that guy's advice on Thomans channel an did a TSS strat. It has me ready to pull the humbuckers out of my strat. It put all the yap on the itnterwebs to rest about you need a tele bridge for a tele bridge pickup to sound right.
I choose None Of The Above…LOL…Ever since I played the PRS Silver Sky at a local music store. It sounds good in all positions. Usually I never play the bridge pick up but the Silver Sky was actually very usable in the bridge position. Wasn’t too thin sounding.
0:02 I think most GAS is about filling the nihilistic void in our life, an existential ache that beats like a metronome throughout every waking moment. Wait ... is it just me? ;-)
I always wanted a blue telecaster. Lake placid blue looks beautiful. And that submarine pickup looks so nice. I think I would prefer a humbucker on the bridge if I want to get heavy.
Great vid thanks. BTW, an Oak Grigsby 6 way switch on a Nashville gives you all the Strat tones plus the Tele Bridge+Neck option, without a push-pull pot.
I think I would do the HSS for a desert island guitar. But I’ve already got a great two humbucker PRS, so I really want that tele to fill the single coil sized hole in my heart.
I wire my Nashville style guitars to default to N+B in the middle (which is the proper sound for all 3 single coil guitars - fight me) and place the middle on a push-pull since I rarely use it. Doing this on three instruments has improved my quality of life by 5%!
Traditional Nashville Tele wiring is Neck and Bridge in the middle, as I understand it. Weirdly, my 1990 USA HM Strat Ultra has that, too - it's wired where the middle position of the 5-way switch is neck and bridge - NOT the middle pickup by itself - and I didn't know that FOR YEARS (mostly because I was such a noob when I got that guitar). My brother's late-90s Tex-Mex Nashville Tele is the same. Love the middle position on a Telecaster WAY MORE than using the middle pickup on a Strat (middle is so FUNKY)...so I'm totally cool with it not being available, but kudos to Fender for adding the option!
What can you tell us about guitar shops that take guitars off the shelf and smash them up and throw them away to make room for new stock. Do you guys do that?
Well, I guess this is a good example of "beauty is in the eye of the beholder". Baxter loves the "Belair Blue" of that Strat, while I... would not be caught dead with that thing. Ugggggly! The Silver Burst , OTOH, is flat out gorgeous! Oh well, to each his own...
I didn’t love that Strat color till they mentioned Jimmy Buffett, then I started seeing it more as a Caribbean Sea, and well I guess I’m that much of a Parrothead I started liking it. Lol
I play the bastard child of those two guitars: a Fender Modern Player Telecaster (HSS). I put Dimarzio pups in it: Bluesbucker (P90-ish), Area 67, and Area T. Total cost with pup upgrade:
I bought a Nashville Tele loaded body and stuck a Warmoth compound radius neck on it. I don't care for Strats but nothing else sounds like one. This guitar does both.
Those Pau Ferro Fretboards with their lighter color look like dried-out Rosewood to me. The CV Squiers use Indian Laurel which is much more appealing to the eye. On the MIM "plus" lineup, there should have been an upgrade to Rosewood or at least to the Laurel.
My thought is that I have always wanted a Nashville Tele for the versatility of it. I'm very happy with my choice today. Jonathan is right....there is something magic about a Tele (sorry Baxter). They all have their purpose!
As noted in the video, there are compromises when trying to take an existing design and add something to it. I'm learning as time goes on that if money allows, let a strat be a strat, let a tele be a tele, let a les paul be a les paul etc. For me, the differences are the magic. About money though, you can get good guitars without the high price tag and afford a few different kinds!
I got the strat player plus top, sienna sunburst , it fantastic. Best guitar I've had in a while. Don't need anything else, I do have a les Paul. I play it a lot to , but strat is just great. Can't get to much in love with the tele yet. I'll probably get one later. Great to see the comparison though. Subscribed.
I always thought it was odd that the Fender bridge pickups are angled so that the already-bright strings are made brighter and the darker strings made darker. Oh well, I can't argue with success, but a counter-intuitive design choice.
Years ago I had a Nashville Tele, loved it. Les Paul/Marshall Tele/Tweed for me. I would get the new one in butterscotch and swap out the middle pu cover and put a black one in there...don't care for fades on any guitar.
Both of those guitars are fine. But it's really just as easy to have 2 guitars to cover the bases. I've spent most of my professional career using just one guitar to cover all the bases, and it didn't matter if it had humbuckers or single coils, a player can still get good tones for the song at hand. However, either of these guitars would also do a fine job with it. I don't think there is a problem in the first place, that is trying to be solved.
I definitely... would like to add a Strat pup to my Tele! I have a LP, I have a Tele. Now all I need is a Strat single pup in the middle posish and I'm set. Jonathan is correct! Just sayin' Baxter.
The only thing I don't like about the Nashvilles that I've played are the narrow tall frets. Feels weird. I like fatter frets. Highly subjective, though.
They both sound and look great. It depends on your style and to me, if I want to use the whammy bar or not. I’m comfortable on both but for some reason I tend to lean towards the Tele in general. There’s just something about that neck pick up that I love. If I need a fatter humbucking sound from the bridge pu, I’ll use an overdrive and possibly an EQ pedal as well. Either way would work. I do love the blue fade into white on the strat though, but I’d do the Tele
Honestly if you have one of each of those 2 types of guitars you are 90% covered. Although I would not choose those exact pickups the HSS Strat and the Nashville Tele formats are both great.
Companies started importing guitars so people that couldn't afford the flagship models could enjoy a guitar that was close to the flagship models without the cost attached to those models. In other words people turned to the imports that couldn't afford the USA made guitars but now that the imports price is in the same ballpark as the USA models then what's the point in buying an import when for a few hundred dollars more you can have the real thing? I refuse to buy an import for over a grand, at that point I can get an American Professional strat or a Gibson SG or something USA made that's used. I don't get it, import prices are astronomically ridiculous.
I don't disagree, especially with regard to the price range, but I'm curious how much difference you feel it makes between American models and imported. In other words: where do you think all the individual parts are made?
@@Amish_Trivedi I get that question a lot and it's a valid question. For me personally I can tell the difference between a USA made guitar and an imported one and I think USA is superior to an import be it a Gibson to Epiphone or fender USA to fender Mexico etc, better woods, better finish, better attention to detail and most of all the desire to play the USA over an import. Plus if I ever need to sell one the USA model will sell relatively close to what I paid if not more while with the import I'll be lucky to get half of what I paid. And with the USA model I know a fellow American was employed and made the instrument ( I'm Union) and to me that's important for our economy. I own ten USA Gibson and Fender guitars and six imports and their top tier imports but they don't come close to the USA made ones. The Mexican fenders are very close but not close enough at the price they want for them now. I have an American Professional strat and an import Mexican strat and the American Professional is superior in every aspect. Really all I'm trying to say is that imports are way too expensive these days so what's the point.
@@srh361 Completely valid points and also pro-union, I was mostly just curious what you felt those differences were. I would agree that the perception of American made's quality has a bigger impact on resale, which seems to be a thing most people consider (I don't, oddly). I think it's pretty fair to assume that most of the parts are similar, but who is making it matters- and it should matter to us. We should want fair wages, here and elsewhere, I would hope. Thanks for your honest response :)
I find with a hss you need a paf or low wound humbucker for the correct balance when you split it to single. We still need balance,, also push push is king baxter, you can get as greasy as you need bro👍
Too much. You can add a couple hundred bucks and get an American. Few hundred more a get a used EJ Strat. It sucks we are breaking a thousand dollars for what used to be their affordable professional quality guitars.
This is not your daddy's MIM Fender. I have an American performer level strat, which is close to these in price. The performer is closer to a vintage spec, old style pickups and tuners. If you want that vintage feel, then ya, get a performer. If you want more modern features like noiseless picks and locking tuners, switching options, get a player+. It's really 2 different things. As the marketing suggest, player+ is like the American Ultra series, but MIM; and the American Ultra series is closer to double the cost, not a couple hundred more.
I dig the strat but those pau ferro fretboard gives me anxiety. It just looks so dry I want to oil it. I have a 93 American standard that I had a Seymour duncan jb in the bridge and graphtech saddles, I drug that guitar all around Georgia in bars pubs, restaurants and festivals and the Atlanta perimeter for 10 years and it now looks like if. Naturally relic, scarred and barred and it all happened. It haz a beautiful rosewood neck And I have a story for every mark and ding on her .
A HSS Strat has pretty much everything I want. It's way more comfortable and aesthetic then a Nashville. Honestly I hate they way those look, and wouldn't get one unless I put the middle pickup under the guard
They both sound good,so it comes down to other factors If I am listening-which I was with the video-I’ll take either If I am playing; I’d go with the Strat The finish is okay, for me it is neither a deal maker or breaker
Men play strats but real men play teles. 🎸😂. But seriously, I think I will stick to having both. Some days I'm in a tele mood, others a strat, and others PRS. Those 3 are my arsenal and I'm happy with that.
Other RUclips reviewers have also complained about the difficulty with pulling the push/pull knob on the HSS strat. Fender needs to fix that. It is too hard to use in the middle of playing.
I would've liked it more if you had plugged them in. And here at the Broke Dick House I own more Teles than Strats and NO Strats with Humbuckers in the bridge, maybe I need one? So in conclusion let me say my choice is the Pink Tele hanging on the wall.
Gotta have at least 1 humbucker in the bridge for my style and tone. I prefer actives humbeckers emgs, seymour duncan, fismans, bare knuckles, bill laurance. And many more. Ive found most humbuckers that come in guitars with the pickups made by the guitar company excluding gibson and fender are very bad as far as tone.
IMO the Tele always has more balls than a Strat , humbucker or not. I'm not sold on the noiseless pickups though. Even if they're better than they use to be, I don't think they'll ever be as good as the real thing. My LP Special with P90s can get noisy as hell in certain situations but I prefer a great sounding pickup that hums over a so so noiseless pickup any day of the week.
I understand the need to use Pau Ferro on the cheaper guitars from Fender, Epiphone etc but man does it look cheap compared to Rosewood. The grain and discolorations just looks cheap IMO. I would almost rather have baked maple.....I'm sure the Pau Ferro plays fine but it sure looks terrible

Baxter says "It's almost like adding an extender to your manhood..." Well, isn't that what a guitar is in the first place?
I'm thinking
The Nashville Tele is an absolute beast of a guitar. I have one of the last incarnations of the Deluxe with the noiseless. It’s a blues rock beast.
“A beast of a guitar”! Are the true words. You don’t need a Strat!
Just bought the HSS Strat in the green. Wasn't too sure about the colour at first but I love it now. The guitar itself is awesome. My first real Fender after 3 Squiers! 👍

What can you tell us about guitar shops that take guitars off the shelf and smash them up and throw them away to make room for new stock. Do you guys do that?
The push/pull debate applies to the noiseless debate. Noiseless don't have to give you vintage tones. They just have to give you their own tones.
Well, I guess this is a good example of "beauty is in the eye of the beholder". Baxter loves the "Belair Blue" of that Strat, while I... would not be caught dead with that thing. Ugggggly! The Silver Burst , OTOH, is flat out gorgeous! Oh well, to each his own...

Isn't the tele 850$?
No tone comparisons?
You compared Strat HHH vs HHH Tele. Noiseless pickups are humbucking pickups.
Love that Nashville Tele. OK, I already have a Player HSS strat, which is amazing.
I bought a Nashville Tele loaded body and stuck a Warmoth compound radius neck on it. I don't care for Strats but nothing else sounds like one. This guitar does both.

One Vote for Nashville Tele ! You guys crack me up!

Which one? I want the P90 one
I own a Nashville deluxe. I did not know it had PPPs. I am stupid, but you guys made my day.
You can rule the world with a Tele!

Does my void filler have to have a Gawd Awful fretboard like that?
Just bring back the Fender American Vintage line ughh
I'm a Nashville man totally. I would love one.
Baxter, The Wind Cries Mary was recorded on a Tele...

Been playing a HSS Strat for more than a couple decades. Easy choice. (That is what I took to RRFC)
What, no movie references?
I'm on team Tele! I put 2 Strat pickups and a 5 way switch on my ASAT. Sooooo versatile!
Years ago I had a Nashville Tele, loved it. Les Paul/Marshall Tele/Tweed for me. I would get the new one in butterscotch and swap out the middle pu cover and put a black one in there...don't care for fades on any guitar.

The HSS Strat looks so much better with the pickup cover...all of them should have that.
Agree with Baxter strat and les paul. 3 guitars I think every player should have strat a les paul and gretsch hollowbody.
That new green Strat Plus with the mint pickguard is 🔥
I’m in the HSS camp 👍✌️
I definitely... would like to add a Strat pup to my Tele! I have a LP, I have a Tele. Now all I need is a Strat single pup in the middle posish and I'm set. Jonathan is correct! Just sayin' Baxter.

Just got the p+ Nashville tele. What a monster of a guitar for the money. I’d take that over versatility over the hss strat any day of the week
Honestly if you have one of each of those 2 types of guitars you are 90% covered. Although I would not choose those exact pickups the HSS Strat and the Nashville Tele formats are both great.
I’m a neck pickup junkie. I’m a h lover. Dylan pickups blow my mind.

At least they are shipping something!
They both sound good,so it comes down to other factors

If I am playing; I’d go with the Strat
The finish is okay, for me it is neither a deal maker or breaker

Nashville Telecaster for the win. Strat needs a hardtail.
I don't like the look of the chrome cover of the humbucker with the strat. I do like the finish. But I'm a tele guy.
I could never buy a Telecaster with the 6 saddles, so I guess it's the Strat for me...
Would you mind talking more on the next video? Just too much playing for my tastes. LOL
I heard " a lez paul is a tele on steroids " 😂
Gotta have at least 1 humbucker in the bridge for my style and tone. I prefer actives humbeckers emgs, seymour duncan, fismans, bare knuckles, bill laurance. And many more. Ive found most humbuckers that come in guitars with the pickups made by the guitar company excluding gibson and fender are very bad as far as tone.
Not a fan of humbuckers on a strat. Or noiseless pickups. Sorry to be a party pooper.
The more loud is from the Supro amps. Tele all day every day!!!
I've always preferred a rosewood neck, but most Tele players, especially country chicken pickers, prefer maple.
I really love the tech in this sub-series but I really don’t like the finishes very much.
I cant believe yr not playin but thanks anyway yr funny enough
Nashville Telecaster all the way.

As a Strat player, Strats aren’t meant to necessarily be “ballsy” sounding
@@gunkanjima3408 my comment was a reply to Baxter's comment about the Tele not having the balls because it didn't have the humbucker.
Running out of ideas?
So . . . . no lefty option . . . . thanks Fender.
