    Trogly; FYI according to “Fender The Golden Age” by Kelly, Foster and Kelly, the original rosewood Tele as gifted to Harrison was “made by sandwiching two slabs of thick rosewood together with a thin layer of maple running through the centre. To alleviate weight, Kubicki hollowed out chambers in the rosewood slabs.”

    A few years ago a local guy, older guy, was selling one of these cause he was unable to play anymore. It was an all rosewood fender tele that he said he had since the 70s. He was only asking $100, seem sketchy and was doubtful about it. He did have lots of pics and looked legit. I got his address and he told me to hurry cause he had another guy on the way too. He was about 30miles away, I made it half way when he text'd me that the other guy showed up and took it. I still wonder if indeed it was real and tell myself I should have not been so slow to move to get it

    Sounded good to me. I got a full gloss tele rosewood light from elderly music in 2013 two slabs of rosewood with a piece of spruce in between. It's not light, feels as heavy as a Les Paul but beautiful to look at and sounds good too. 1900 for a production fender pretty pricey back then

    Regarding the Sharpie mark, try taking a Q-tip with a little bit of isopropyl alcohol to an inconspicuous area to check for finish reaction first, and then proceed to the boo-boo if it passes. I've used 91% isopropyl to get Sharpie off a number of guitar finishes. It works fine for most modern finish materials. DO NOT do it on nitro, though!

    Very cool. About 4 years ago I purchased a solid (non-weight relieved, almost 12 pounds) rosewood Telecaster, it has turned out to be one of my favorite.
    Not sure about this one, however mine has a super thick neck profile that is 1.10" at the 12th.
    The rosewood construction really does change the tone as compared to a traditional Ash/Maple Tele. Not sure if it's because mine is solid, but the tone is very dark, nothing like this version at all.
    Fun Fact, the reason for the maple strip/layer, rosewood is such an oily wood that it doesn't like to be glued to itself, they add the maple in between them so that the glue will better hold to the maple.

Probably just a sign that I should play them more often! Thanks for another great episode

It is a reverse headstock with a Tele body that I made out of Teakwood, a wraparound bridge and a firebird pickup in the bridge and a twisted tele in the neck. I used a tele thinline pickguard and it pulls off the Firebird/Tele athstetic perfectly

    They look nice, but George's at least, was _really_ heavy. I think it's odd that so many people associate it with him given how little he cared for it. Lucy was much more his preferred guitar, before moving to strats _almost_ exclusively during the 70s.
    Still, it was iconic for the moment I guess, and it's unique look coupled with the few songs it appeared on are enough. It's also a lot more subtle than Rocky lol

    In the mid-‘80s, I bought a Japanese Rosewood Tele reissue from a guy who had it imported from Japan. He said it was a “gray-market” model, as it didn’t have “Made in Japan” anywhere on it, and wasn’t supposed to be available in the US at all. It was gloss-finished on both the body and neck, and the neck was one piece-no separate fingerboard. Vintage-style Kluson tuners and non-threaded steel bridge saddles. I believe it was chambered, but it was still pretty heavy, and it was actually a little darker-sounding than most alder- or ash-bodied Teles. I played it for a few years, and traded it off for a Fender Strat Plus, which was a great guitar.

    I saw one recently on ZZsounds brand new, about two weeks ago, so i do believe they’re still in production, albeit in extremely limited quantities like maybe two-three per year but you’ll have to be constantly looking for them to grab one. I’ve been obsessed with owning a rosewood telecaster, especially if it was the george harrison model so i had it in the cart ready to check out…but then i also have my eyes on the Japanese rosewood telecaster which is glossy all around and tbh, looks way better than the USA production, needless to say i didn’t purchase the GH model, instead I’ll buy the glossy made in japan fender rosewood tele, looks so beautiful. This one however more closely resembles the one George played on the rooftop gig so any purists out there would buy this one for that reason and also their resale value goes up. Great video man, you done a good job going over this beauty. Rock on 🤘

    Secret about Sharpie: it’s not really permanent. Dry Erase markers have alcohol based solvents in them. Rub some dry erase marker over the Sharpie, give it a few seconds, then wipe off with a dry erase marker eraser, the Sharpie should be gone. Sometimes black sharpie leaves a shadow (especially the “pro” version, so just repeat the process and it should clear up.
    Now will it mess up this guitar, that really depends on how Fender finished this, and if alcohol solvents are bad for it.

    Salutations Austin!
    Beautiful George Harrison Rosewood Telecaster, the Rosewood is especially beautiful with all kinds of colors a variations in the grain, I am sure it would look even better once it was all polished up!
    I think you would be hard pressed to find one with much more spectacular wood grain.
    Like you mentioned, it could certainly be modified with a different set of pickups, however, it would not be original anymore and it may devalue the instrument.
    If it were mine, I would polish it and spare no elbow grease, it would eventually really shine with that beautiful wood grain!

    I wanted one of these and missed out. So I settled for a Mod Shop Tele with a solid rosewood neck. After seeing this I don’t think I settled. I got all gold hardware, satin black body, Nashville noiseless pickups. Yeah I am also a Gibson Black Beauty fan. LOL My neck is solid, has the skunk stripe, adjusts from the top, and has Fender laser engraved on the headstock. Plays great and makes me happy just to look at it. Only thing I’d change is I need a push/pull or something so I can get a bridge/neck combination. It’s got a 5 way like a strat so I’m missing a signature Tele sound.

    I have a B-Bender Telecaster with the three pickup setup. They are Texas Specials, I recently found out! They have a think Rocking sound. No wonder I tended to use that guitar when I was in my last band. You can take the B string and string it conventionally as this guitar is set up to do this. Although nominally a Country instrument, It's very versatile. I had a conventional Tele but sold it in favour of this guitar. It didn't have the tone or the feel I liked. Always been more a Strat or other guitar person. But the nashville Tele is cool!

    The E/B string tree is much so closer to the nut than a typical Tele providing much more sever break angle. This is obviously due to the legalization of drinking alcohol on the job at the factory. As a side note, In the 80's, I watched one of these rosewood behemoths fall from the top hook at GC. It took out other pricey Fenders and a jazz box on the way down. This is after an employee got out the ladder of shame and w/o one iota of understanding that "Tele headstocks don't fit in guitar hooks", proceeded to place it way up on the 3rd tier close to the ceiling. He put said ladder away and went on to do his biz. I had thought it stopped its twisting movement, but all of a sudden from across the showroom I watched as it found its new gravity-less freedom and Pow! Zing! BanG, SMAsh! ThUd..... I never laughed so hard and cried at the same time. A huge crowd gathered as employees and spectators gathered. GC dude didn't cop to his mistake and acted like acted like anyone but him caused it. I wasn't about to stick his mistake in his face or rat him out, but I only hope he sees this and with his 40 years of personal growth, fesses up. All guitars involved were unplayable. I'll never forget that event.

    That tele would look great next to my LP 2012 studio Mahogany worn brown satin finish. Remember back then the studios were like today’s tribute satin finish.

    A buddy of mine had a rosewood Tele he bought in late 1981. It was a Squier, one of THE first. It weighed a ton!! So after a coupe years, he sold it to our OTHER guitar playin' buddy. Have they, or will they, ever make a laminated neck Tele?

    i tried 2 of these last year. what i like about Gibson and Fender even you if played Gibson R9 2022 and another R9 2022 it sounds different. the latter can be sound powerful and good. at least to my ear. same goes to Fender. i tried both the rosewood telecaster 2022 i prefer the first one i strummed cause it sound really thick and powerful. the second one a bit thin on the bridge and neck is angry biting sound. that's the charms of Gibson and Fender. you have to look and ear for it.

  • @rexrathtar3893
    @rexrathtar3893 Рік тому +1

    All rosewood neck is very nice. All rosewood body (solid) has little appeal to me because of the weight, though from what you say the chambering addresses this. The grain is nice, especially on the sides of the guitar, but gloss would definitely bring it out more. The original price for these was actualy not too bad, but I still think there are a lot of guitars I'd rather have more for the same money. I have an Am Pro II Tele and it ticks all the boxes for me.

      I got an Eric Johnson Virginia Strat for $1900 open box last year that's flawless and one amazing guitar. The most I've ever spent on any Fender, USA or Japanese, but well worth it for the quality in build, feel and tones. Another 2 grand (Trog's asking on his site) for this thing is insane. Oops, there went another screw..

    I’m much more of a Les Paul guy, but that is one beautiful Tele! Before you sell it, you should try swapping some other pickups into it to see if you can get a tone you like better. Seymour Duncan makes all kinds of pickups for whatever kind of tones you’re looking for. You might also get someone to spray a gloss finish into it, if you’re really not liking the satin. Or you could just buff it out a bit. Just a thought. I can see why you’re not satisfied with the tone, but it does really have kind of its own thing going on. It grew on me as you played it. I especially liked the gainer tones.

    George Harrison Tele looks great at first blush, but unhappy with disappointing quality control issues especially for a limited edition run. Not a fan of such extensive chambering, a Tele has to be beefy, so it follows not so great tones either. What was I so excited about anyway?

    If you take standard Fender Strat and a Standard Les Paul, which guitar gives you the most value for your money?
    If you just need an Instrument and dont care about color, binding and other pointless bling, what company gives you the most, out of Fender and Gibson?

    • @cataclysmicconverter

      I'd guess the Strat as it's not over $5K and comes with a lot more tonal variations with a trem for even more.
