A lot of people miss the fact that the “sound” of ACDC was actually a Gretsch, not a SG. Angus gets the spotlight for his leads and stage antics, but Malcolm was the one holding it down with the iconic riffs on his Gretsch with a filtertron pickup.
It sounds too much brighter than the original guitars for my taste. He could've rolled the tone knob off. The originals sound clear and definite enough.
Awesome!!! I play an American made Tele but this thing sounds great! As a matter of interest, I've ordered a Harley Benton TE-52 as a back-up but I'm sure it'll get a lot of playing time :)
The Harley Benton te 52 is a really really nice guitar. It’s unbelievably nice. I was seriously shocked when I got mine. I did remove the strings and polish the frets tho. They don’t really polish them from the factory. But that’s it. I got this thing to be considered a beater that I could leave laying around the house without being in a case. It’s so nice that now I’m going to get one for it.
Wow, I had no idea the tele would sound better than the sg. Don’t get me wrong I love Gibson as well, but these days I find myself reaching for the tele by far more than the Les Paul.
Nice Tele mate it shows that it’s getting harder to buy the more expensive guitars now days ac/dc ark up I use to watch them live back in the day here in Australia great times rock on.....
Well played. HBTE-52's are great guitars. I really like the HB guitars I've bought from Thomann. Their shipping time has improved to. No i don't work for them 😁 Thanks for the demo and really good playing. 👍
The Telecaster does it ALL 🤟🏻. They can thump Johnny Cash, cry Hank Williams, and scream AC/DC 🎶😎. I been through several guitars in my life but the one I’m keeping forever is my American Tele 😎
I’m a huge AC/DC fan. They are one of the best rock bands of all time. And somehow have two of the best singers in their history. Brian Johnson is as good as Robert Plant to me. And that’s saying a lot. I’m a huge Stratocaster fan. Fav guitar hands down although it’s hard to put down a quality SG once you pick one up. Recently I purchased a tele and I’m so blown away. After refusing them for years I am converted. They sound like nothing else. I can’t imagine Angus running around with one haha unless he swapped the school boy thing for a cowboy getup. I was curious about anyone playing AC/DC on a tele and came across your vid. Really awesome. Thanks!
Thank you! I just tried some different sounds and thought this guitar feels well in the Hard Rock corner. I played straight in to Bias amp and tweaked a little bit on the Plexi preset. It was pretty good out of the Box, i only had to polish the frets.
Nice playing man ! i'm a big fan of AC/DC and Harley Benton. This is freshly recorded,.. how long do you have this TE 52 ? Just wanna know or it are the Wilkinson pickups or the newer Roswell's . Can't see it well, but according to the tone, i think Wilkinson pickups. Also, this is ( i think ), not the new headstock logo ? So far the pictures on Thomann are not yet updated, altough you can see the new logo on the new black CST 24. Much better, take a look. Don't know or that same logo shape will appear on all of the models. And some are silver, some are gold. Gonna take a look at yout BIAS-patch on Cloud. Great played backing tracks also ! Nice job. Did you posted them somewhere ? Because this is far better quality than on those regular backing track sites. Thanks and greetz from Belgium. Gonna check out your other vids. BTW: Didn't see anybody play that accurate tone sounding AC/DC on a Tele. Soon i'll buy this one too.
Thank you very much! I got this guitar in january. It has the Roswell pickups and the old headstock. I only recorded the small parts as backing tracks. But maybe i'll do some tracks of the whole Songs sometime. Yeah, i thought it would be something different to play the songs on a tele ;)
It's defenitly different.. but would not able to hear or it was an SG Gibson or this one. That's due to BIAS AMP also of course. Great software. You can match pretty everything. Keep up the vids, preferable AC/DC ;D
Johannes Silver I just ordered a Squier affinity Tele and it comes in later today (1am rn) and yeah squier are pretty damn good guitars they have decent quality control and overall don’t sound far off from an American just a little less chimey
I had a Squier Affinity Telecaster but thought the pickups were poor. Sold it and now have the TE-52 HB tele with Roswell pickups. Fantastic replacement/ upgrade for half the price
you are very good and congratulations for the piece, but to pass the guitar is a musical instrument is nothing short of pity. I have been playing for 30 years and having sold my canvases I decided to take harley benton te 52, .. a shameful thing !! not even fire comes to us! I also painted it to reassemble it, 50 mm of paint, the soft wood like the bread, the pitiful handle ... in short ... it is not recommended to be serious. I resold it being completely honest with the buyer who still took it for the positive reviews he had read. no comment!
@@SRguitar screw them. Really stupid rules which have nothing to do with common sense! Great playing and tone btw. How do you rate this guitar compared to squier of the same price range?
the part from 1:14 to 1:30 is incredible

That is actually a damn good AC/DC tone on a tele. The thing is, the tone is not as heavy and overdriven as one might think. Very well done!
IKR!? Most people oversaturate. They only use(d) Marshalls at 11. Best Regards!
Great job man!
The secret to play AcDc is set a soft overdrive. You need to hear the string
Teles are very under rated as rock guitars
A good Tele can do anything
Not really, do you know Keith Richards, Jimmy Page, Andy Summers... ?

Harley benton give unbelievable value for money... Fantastic playing mate!
Thank you!
Telecaster= rhythm guitar = Malcolm's work!!
Yep, i totally agree
Love the clarity and definition as compared to an SG

(Sorry about my english)

Malcolm could have totally gigged with a Tele. Awesome job Sasha.
There are pics of Malcolm playing a tele live.
great job... thunderstruck needs more gain!
It’s because he was playing a single coil pickup and Angus plays humbuckers
Great playing! That Harley Benton sounds good too! Those guitars are hard to beat! They're great and cheap too!👍😎🎸🎶
Very nice job of capturing this material - bravo!
Thank you!
Good job ! It sounds like Malcolm's guitar ! I've just subscibed to your channel.
Thank you!
Sounds awesome to me especially Hells Bells
Great playing... And fantastic tone. You have that AC/DC tone nailed. Good job 🤘
Wow, I had no idea the tele would sound better than the sg. Don’t get me wrong I love Gibson as well, but these days I find myself reaching for the tele by far more than the Les Paul.
Telecaster sounds Better than other guitars if you want to play ACDC
Nice bro love it. Tele sounds awesome!
Thanks! 🤘

Awesome. SUPER CLEAN & PRECISE playing.
Thanks!
I know what the guitar is capable of because I own one. But I can't play it like you. Awesome job my friend.
You are so good at this so yt muted some part of the video.
Awesome 😂

I have to say for a cheap guitar it certainly looks fantastic
It plays fantastic as well ;)

Well played Sir,.........SALUTE!!!🤘🏼⚡️⚡️🎸
Eu amo Telecaster
good job man!
Great playing!! I wish you'd done the riff to "Girl's got Rhythm".
Brilliant loved this😎
Nice playing ! How did youget tht tone from a single coil ? Did you have to do much to the guitar or was it good out of the box ?
Thank you! I just tried some different sounds and thought this guitar feels well in the Hard Rock corner. I played straight in to Bias amp and tweaked a little bit on the Plexi preset. It was pretty good out of the Box, i only had to polish the frets.

Yeah that's true! I think i'll do another AC/DC video soon ;-)
Good bro!!! Good sound!
Great Man 🤘
Luv those AC/DC Riffs !!!
Long Live Rock !!! 😂😂😂🖒✌💪
Hey, nice playing. Is this thing particularly heavy?
Hey, yeah this guitar is pretty heavy!
Hello. Are those presets your own? Is there a way that I could get them? Also, the backing tracks are from where? Thanks. Impressive tone and mix.
Did you change the strings ?
ACDC had a Tele as a back up in the early days
Nice job. Teles Rule!!!
Thank you! Yes they do :)
Awesome stuff! Are you using 9s or 10s? (String gauge). Thanks!
Thank you! On this guitar i use 9s
Thank you for the reply!
Now, if you wanna have some REAL fun with that Tele, install the new "Freeway" switch!!!!!
It's the STOCK PICKUP ROSWELL ? or Wilkinson
Roswell
@@SRguitar It sound very very good =) not necessary to change with others pickup :)
Could you share or send me your BIAS / BIAS FX patch that you use in this video?
Yeah sure, just search for "SRguitar" in the Bias amp Tonecloud
Yej, Thanks a lot
What do you mean for "cheap" Telecaster?
What using for amps pedals?
I used BIAS Amp by Positive Grid for this video
Is this Roswell or Wilkinson pickup?
Roswell
Thanks!
Do you have a cheapl Les Paul as well? How does that sound? Do you own any Harley Benton with HH pickups?
No i don't have a Les Paul or any HH guitar from Harley Benton, sorry.
I have great sounding HB Gold Top with P90
Sounds nice and good playing. Wonder can I get about the same sound with cheap Squier Affinity Tele?
Thanks! I nerver played a Squier Affinity, so i don't know
Johannes Silver I just ordered a Squier affinity Tele and it comes in later today (1am rn) and yeah squier are pretty damn good guitars they have decent quality control and overall don’t sound far off from an American just a little less chimey
Thanks for the comment. What is your first experience? I have had that only about two weeks now. So far feels good.
No, i have a Squier Affinity Tele, it sounds decent but plays like shit to me
I had a Squier Affinity Telecaster but thought the pickups were poor. Sold it and now have the TE-52 HB tele with Roswell pickups. Fantastic replacement/ upgrade for half the price
Back in black with twang! Ha
I have the harley benton st junior series can i play thunderstruck on it?
sure :)
@@SRguitar in what settings tho or i just leave it normal
It depends on which amp you have. Just set the amp to a crunchy tone
@@SRguitar ok
Are they the original pickups ?
In this Video, yes
@@SRguitar Thanks for a good sounding demo just goes to show
Great playing. Who needs to break the bank just learn how to play lol.
Hell's bells😁
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, hab mir gerade die Tele gekauft.
Gute Entscheidung!
All stock?
In this Video yes :)

its a good guitar-but is not perfect-but with a real sound-great
Please don't drive distracted. Over 3,000 die each year...and hundreds of thousands injured! Sometimes crippled. Stay safe!
is it me or does he look a little like Kenney Jones
Wrong guitar and pickups.
it literally says telecaster in the title

@@SRguitar screw them. Really stupid rules which have nothing to do with common sense! Great playing and tone btw. How do you rate this guitar compared to squier of the same price range?
Thanks 😉 I never had the chance to compare it to a squier. But when I have the chance in the future, I will definitely make a video!
