    At last, a review that is actually about the guitar, how it plays and how it sounds rather than how fast the reviewer can play. Thanks for such an informative piece.

      Well said. That really gets old quick....also, they rarely demo the guitar using just the neck pickup, with no distortion or overdrive, I mean, how can you evaluate a pickup with the gain on 11?!?

    This is a very versatile guitar - particularly for players like me - who always feel the sweet spot is between a Strat and Tele but with a little extra mid push.

    It's got a real character to the tone. Quite different from any other tele in my view. It looks cool to

    I have one in red blackish burst. Has a cool Harmony vibe with the sunburst and white tuner buttons. It's a fabulous guitar with ebony board and mahogany body. It quickly became one of my favorite guitars. Sounds great and allows me to get lots of cool sounds. Perfect mix of Fender and Gibson.

    I have one just like this, and I love it! It's a mix of Fender and Gibson to me, unique sounding and classic looking. Run it through an amp with some gain, and enjoy!!

    Love the sound of these mini-humbuckers. The perfect balance of girth and sparkle in a way that a PAF can't match. Sounds a lot like the Harmony mini-humbuckers. Would love for Fender to make these in some more vibrant custom colors and metallic or sparkle finishes. I'm very tempted.

    Fender has obviously caught on to what players like Blake Mills are doing, dropping Teisco gold foil pickups into a Telecaster. There's a definite trend of gold foils making a comeback with some young players discovering guitarists like Ry Cooder for the first time.

  • @ParaBellum2024
    @ParaBellum2024 Год назад +3

    Interesting specs, but not all new to Fender: I have a Squier Jim Root Tele, with mahogany body, 12" radius fingerboard and medium jumbo frets. Its sound is unmistakeably... Telecaster! I added a tone control and treble bleed circuit, and using these, can get close to Carlos Santana's early 70s tone. Anyway, I digress. Regardless of their appearance or authenticity, the "gold foil" pickups in the review guitar sound excellent, and still very much a Telecaster tone.

  • @meadish
    @meadish Год назад +7

    I believe it sounds Fendery mainly because of the scale length, and secondarily because of the bridge type.
    A Gibson 24.75" scale version with a tune-o-matic or wraparound bridge would sound pretty much identical to a Gibson.

    This is the first proper review I’ve seen on the Gold Foil Tele. It sounds great! (Your playing is great too!) I’m a Tele player, have been for years, and this thing sounds like a Tele on steroids! Only change I’d make would be to add a middle pickup. Yeah, I know-they have a Jazzmaster with three Gold Foils, and it looks cool, but it’s got a Jazzzmaster vibrato, and I always have trouble with those things.

  • @PJEPJE-tp8xx
    @PJEPJE-tp8xx 4 месяца назад

    I wonder how much of that great tone is coming from the amp that you're playing through, just on the edge of break-up. What is it please?

  • @davidbarlow431
    @davidbarlow431 Год назад +3

    That is NOT a telecaster anymore. I'm not saying it's a bad guitar, but come on Fender I'm sure you've got someone in your organisation who could come up with a catchy new name and slightly different new body shape.

  • @danguldenzopf9510
    @danguldenzopf9510 Год назад +1

    Great review. Nice looking guitar. I had an experience with another gold foil fender guitar. A Strat from their Rarities Collection. The “gold foil” came off the middle pick up. It was just gold paint on white plastic This was maybe my fault as I was not used to a middle pick up and my pick was hitting the pick up. I just wanted to buy another cover and be more careful about my playing. Anyway in talking with the Fender Rep he said I could not get another cover as they were made for that collection and there are none available ….. ha !!! The end of my Fender relationship. You want a great T style guitar buy an LsL. Want a great S style guitar .. buy an LsL. Lance will always do the right thing. You can’t buy that from Fender

    gold foil were crappy pickups in the 60's, usually on cheap Japanese guitars... microphonic... etc... and now we replicate it

      Ah, but these merely look like the 60s gold foil pickups. Under the hood they're modern mini-humbuckers.
