It has been a long time. much happened here but...3 guitars now. Life is good. I am glad your are still performing and teaching the history of guitar. I am 72.
Thanks Donald
Love that 52tele.Also the 73 sounds lovely too.
I’m so glad you guys decided to make videos on a regular basis. Thanks for all you do.
Nice, it is a right handed world.
Catching up now boys
I like that Lydian lick that you did at :20 👍
Best guitar info on RUclips thanks gentlemen- amazing how attractive the Telecaster gets as we age.
Wonderful! The Pinecaster book is a must have for anyone into early Telecasters. Something surprising is just how heavy a lot of the blackguards actually were. Especially the Broadcasters. Also, I've heard the change to Alnico 5 didn't really happen until later in '55. I own a '55 whiteguard with a flatpole bridge & the output seems closer to A3 than 5 but who knows... Most seem to prefer the blackguards but then you've got guys like Tom Bukovac who say that the whiteguards are much better. Apples & oranges I suppose. I certainly wouldn't pass up the opportunity to snag a good blackguard. Maybe someday. Good luck on your hunt Bob!
Beautiful guitars guys top notch playing and Bob wonderful charisma knowledge and playing 👏Ramon amazing phrasing and attack buddy
Great video gents!
I had a Fender custom shop 62 Tele that I sold to buy a Martin acoustic. I love the Martin acoustic but I miss the 62 Tele. I would never be in a position to buy a vintage one, but I will probably sell my PRS Custom 24 Wood Library to get another 62. Great video guys!
I really love how Ramon plays through the changes here.
I'm glad you'll be bringing out more clips!
Just love you guys
Thanks John
I really don’t know what it is about Teles - didn’t like them for years but now I love them! That ‘52 is a dream.
Me too, didn’t just dislike, actually used to scorn them. Proves nobody knows anything!
@@thebobandramonshow I think of it as an epiphany (as opposed to Epiphoney, although I do have one of those and my Teles are still in parts - some of which are Fender)! 😂
A right couple of beauties...The guitars guy's, you know what I mean ...G...
haha thanks
@@TheGuitarShow Keep these videos coming Ramon ...G...
@@TheGmcFilms thanks bro 🙏
@@TheGuitarShow ...G...
Absolutely amazing I am a fan of the fender telecaster 😊
~11:30, Ramon speaks truth, “ no matter what guitar you’re playing now, eventually you’ll end up with a Telecaster.” Preach on brother!
Thanks man 🙏
The 15min format works well 🎸🎸🙂👍
Cheers 👍
Hot tip for Bob: A Nocaster with 3 pickups just dropped to $40,000 USD on Reverb. You'll never need another guitar. LOL.
Wow thanks for the info!
Oh god….
Nice Telecasters
Aha, a tele-vangelist episode...
Yes sir
This Morning on ITV with Philip Schofield and Holly Willoughby and now some Esquire, Broadcaster, Nocaster, Telecaster facts!
Amen
Nice chordage/riffage on the outro. I've never been a fan of teles and, now I'm finding a need for a bigger belly-carve, it's got to be a strat for me. A strat with a tele bridge pup would tick a lot of boxes.
73 seems to be a cut off point where CBS started cutting corners.
When the pickup wire was changed etc
They say a "Telecaster and the truth" or "6 strings and the truth", because it delivers such barebone direct tones.. However with gain on the bridge the Tele tends to hum louder than an old fridge.. That's why another guitar then the telecaster might be useful to complete the pallete of colors..
great comment bro
@@TheGuitarShow Merci Ramon!
Hi Ramon loved the playing was just want to see if you have done a tribute to David Lindlay and are you still going to do a part two on Mr Dumble.✌️
I was born in 1952 and 1973 was the worst effing year of my life. I can identify with the opinions here.
For the 52 - middle position is neck pickup only, not brigde.
Telecasters are the guitars I'm most cynical about. _Not_ because I disagree about them having unbeatable versatility. But because almost anyone can afford the very best Telecaster it's possible to make - and the only reason to pay more is if you're a collector. This guitar was designed from the ground up to be easy and cheap to make. And no amount of gushing about micro changes in details changes that.
You can get a nitro finished body, a neck that matches a '52 for shape, marry them together with a set of affordable clones of early '50s pickups and you have exactly the same guitar probably without going North of 1,000 pounds. You can have one hand made by a luthier for less than one of these overpriced custom shop jobs.
And in a blind test it won't feel or sound any different to a '52.
I remember once playing a Squier, an MIM Tele, and a '58 original telecaster back to back. I didn't know the 'American Fender' was a vintage classic. It was just a guitar they handed me that had a pretty dirty, worn, stained fretboard. The Squier felt nastly and like a toy. The MIM and the vintage original were indistinguishable. And to the point of them being so cheap back then? This was '99 and that '58 had a label price of 25,000 pounds. I put it back on the wall within seconds of looking at it.
A telecaster is a cheap and cheerful guitar. And it's not hard to get everything a telecaster has to offer without spending any real money.
great comment, thanks.
The custom shop fenders don't even look good. At least Gibson offer the murphy lab where he does magic to make them took authentically aged but the fender relics look like stickers of paint stuck on randomly.
Ramon just let Bob finish his sentences before asking questions please.
This is the Bob & Ramon show - not the Bob show, this is how we role my friend. But I'll take on board your critique for future videos. A counter argument is that if I let Bob talk freely he will talk for the entire 15mins lol so I try to encourage a back and forth dialogue.
@Lookup2Wakeup lol
I have a 1957 fender telecaster but it's a black-faced it's got a minus sign before the serial number of like 20,000 and something i am starting to wonder what it is? I mean it should have a white face so on it I guess
Yes date and serial mean it’s from the whiteface era, but the guard could possibly be a contemporary one off, or a later but still old addition. These things were cobbled together back in the day, nothing was wasted at Fender or even Gibson so the weirdest things show up in the strangest of places from time to time.
