Lee, please disclose that you own Danish Pete
lmao!
😂😂
Lmao
Hahahahahahah
Don't be daft: of course Lee doesn't own Pete.
He is, however, the majority shareholder.
After playing guitar for 25 years I’ve completely surrendered to the fact that we make up our mind 90% of the time before we’ve even felt or heard the gear.
Then the regret sets in a few weeks or months later depending on how much you spent 😂
@@JosePineda-jn8jk Which is why you see so much used gear for sale. People don't sell shit they like and are actively using.
Literally, given most guitars are pre-ordered/bought online these days.
@@keithkrick234 And we are not wondering what you started with and what you ended up with......
I seem to always buy the guitar with the finish I don't prefer because I play a few of the same model and realy try to just listen and feel the guitar so I have a tabaco burst les paul...I wish the cheary burst had the it cause I never liked tabaco burst and I have a few brown sgs lol..I hate the color brown but those thing ring...never played a red sg that sounded great but I love the look
I feel like Pete was really going through it right after he took the blindfold off. Lee started talking about the rest of the guitars and Pete is just re-evaluating his entire life hahahaha
Exactly
Haha....yet at the end, after putting his own guitar in 4th place, Pete still had to say 'if you've got the money you should still buy a custom shop'. The results would suggest not.
@@rogermoore2798 I really don't think Pete bought a custom shop only because it was a custom shop. The guitar probably had something that inspired him and that's hard to explain. But for a guitar to really inspire you, it matters what's on the headstock (be it an expensive or cheap brand) and i'm not sure why. Buy what inspires you, be it for 100 bucks or 2'000.
@@rogermoore2798 Pete trying to cope with the next level gaslighting
@@rogermoore2798 To me, the custom shop by far sounded the best. Aesthetics also still play a huge role.
Ahh, Blindfold T one of my favourite blues guitarists/ rappers.
Shame that Blindfold T died in the 1994 shootout between Jazzmaster Jeff and Lil' Jaguar.
@@kasakka 😢
@@sozo1020 😆
At first, before you brought the guitars in, I thought you were just gonna give PEte the custom shop 6 times and see what happens, claiming it was all different, affordable T-styles. That'd be funny as hell.
Thoght the same
That would be hilarious.
Lol Pete looked genuinely disturbed that he couldn't recognize his own guitar haha
TBF, most of us probably couldn't tell. I think about my main strat and the only giveaway would be how stiff I set the trem up. If I couldn't touch that I'd be hosed.
@@martyshwaartz971 true..I kinda wanna do this at home and have someone hand me my babies and see if i could tell who's who
Lmao, to watch Lee's funny, candid, reactions, concealing his need to burst in laughs, to Pete comments on his own tele, was priceless, so genuine, thank you both, made my night.

Got something for you...
You gotta try this with everyone else, Lee tries to find his original cap10 etc
That Aria looks Stunning at that pricepoint
Recent 'controversy' aside its worth noting that Andertons videos and the infectious enthusiasm of the team helped me fall back in love with guitar playing again ❤
Controversy?
@@MarcCoteMusicjust getting called out for making sure to disclose all the times they are promoting gear that they themselves have momentary investments in. Not a huge deal but KDH definitely rightfully called it out and Lee acknowledged that was true and gave a plan to fix it. Now you’re caught up! 🙂 (but seriously they both handled it professionally so we will see if the community can get past all the joking 😂).
@@JosePineda-jn8jk - Thanks for the info.
you mean Lee blatantly lying about his ownership of an amp he was constantly shilling?
Yes exactly… who cares if Lee owns the entire guitar product line he promotes.. what’s the issue with that ? Let them EAT CAKE!
Blindfold choice of full rig should be a thing. Pick a Guitar, then pick an amp then any extras. Be very interesting to see the full rig
THIS PLEASE!
They did that a while back
Please never stop doing these videos! You guys are the best! Keep it up.
It is nice to see a player of Pete's caliber give a honest evaluation of the feel and sound of affordable guitars.
I worked at a music store in Nashville in the mid 1970's and was amazed at the quality and sound of the Aria guitars of the time (pre law suit era.) I actually bought an Aria Jazz bass and wish I still had it as it played and sounded so good. Their LP style guitars where great.
Actually the sound of the Squier was very good!
A typical Telecaster sound.
I also liked the sound of the Sire.
A good player on a good amp will make any guitar sound good
I've NO idea how Lee didn't burst out laughing I couldn't have kept a straight face lol! I like the Brit sense of humour and mischief you often throw in and I hope that never changes ,I mean why be so serious like so many other channel right?
Hysterical video loved it!!!! you guys are awesome
I have 3 takeaways:
1) Teles aren't that difficult to copy.
2) Buying a guitar while blindfolded and not knowing what the brands are might be the best way to buy a guitar. Bring a buddy with you to hand you guitars. 👍😄
3) Pete is a good sport.
Number 2/bring a buddy is a great idea.
Pete's Tele sounded the best to my ear. And his playing seemed the best on that guitar. Interesting psychology. His point about it following the Squier is a classic experimental problem.
for the first 3 minutes of the video I swear you were going to hand him his own guitar over and over again just to see how he would change his opinion
That would be a truly interesting test but, because they implicit bias of being told they were all different his brain would fight to find things.
This is one of the best Andertons vids just for the comedy all thru and at the end. Now I want to try something similar with my favorite S-Style.
One of my favs yet… good stuff as always.
I love how Lee just sat there quietly and you could hear him scribble :D
I'm fairy sure those sounds are added; still funny
You made my day guys! Thanks!
"Fredges" [fret edges] should totally be a word - and it is from now on for me :D Well said Pete!
You guys are producing amazing content!!! 😮
That first guitar, Aria, is absolutely gorgeous. The “punchy” description is spot on with the bridge.
Now that was entertaining! Well done!!
This is still the best comercially driven channel I know on UA-cam. I mean you can tell, that they want to make you buy more gear than you need, but it's still inspiring, informative and fun.
Also I own about 5 times as much gear, as I need and I am not going to stop now. So I am not complaining.
Amusing video. They all sounded so close, you could probably get them near identical with just a little EQ. It was funny to hear Pete say he was having trouble playing his own guitar during the blind test, only to say later how much he enjoyed playing it. I'm glad he called BS at the end. 😂
I bought a Chapman ml3 standard. Had it about two weeks now. Great guitar, love everything about.
As usual - endlessly entertaining 😂
Just wanted to say how much I enjoy your videos
FGN and Squier sounded great to me. I'm always pretty stunned by the quality of the high-end Squiers these days.
I have a squire,l tele, donner T style and a few other cheap T styles but also a Fender Custom Shop Tele. Squire offer amazing value for money but the cheaper guitars big brands release nowadays are excellent! Doesn't compare to my Custom Shop but they are great given the price difference.
Ok, so 2/3's the way through this video and my biggest take away is that....
Pete is so much more fluent and expressive playing blindfolded!
It would be a treat getting to play with him.
GJ
The red finish on the aria is great.
The Sires are world class. Love them.
Too bad for that ugly headstock
@@colinrobinson9674so if you were handed a guitar that felt and sounded amazing to you but, they then revealed this headstock you wouldn’t buy the instrument?
@@JosePineda-jn8jk I personally like the Sire headstock. Tbh, there are much 'worse'.
@@__.rey.__ As long as it's not a headless, it's fine to me lol.
@@bassyeysame. Fuck headless. Other than that, I don't care about that
I love T-style guitars! Great video \m/
Just shows how remarkably good INEXPENSIVE, like $400, guitars are, in this age of CNC and impeccable Asian construction. How lucky are we?
Buying a guitar is NOT just about the sound. It’s about how the guitar makes you feel.
Oh yeah, aesthetics are a huge part of playing guitar for a lot of people. And that's ok! If looking at a guitar makes you happy, then that's totally cool.
But man, it would be a lot cheaper if I were a blind guitar player...
@@mikeomatic9905 that’s not even what I’m talking about here.
It’s how it makes you feel while you play it not while you’re looking at it.
@@seanzinger I mean, that's what Pete was doing in this video and he ranked his favorite guitar in the bottom half.
Send it to me Pete! That guitar sounded and played amazing through the Love Bomb into Victory V140 when I had a go.
The video where Rob thought the CV tele was the custom shop model when blindfolded, is one of my favourite old videos
My favourite blindfold vid is still the JHS Bonsai when Lee pretended he had bunch of different pedals rather than just 1 😂
Pete had his Blues Cube moment - Btw. calling your CS Fender a Sire is like calling your wife a different name dude... 😂
I only have only one Telecaster, a 2012 Baja butterscotch which I bought recently in very good condition. This is my ‘Go To’ guitar now.
If you can get one of these then get one; it does everything that you can expect from a Tele, and then more courtesy of the Fender Custom Shop via the ‘S’ switch, which can even provide a humbucker sound via the 4 way selector switch.
This is my ultimate Telecaster and I love it😊!.
Ha, this made me chuckle. I often watch gear videos with a guitar in my hands and these days, instead of the Fender Strat I’ve sworn by (not at) for the last fifteen years, it’s a Jet JS 400 that floats my boat. Sure I can feel it’s roasted neck (!) but the real giveaway is the rounded neck joint that makes the Fender feel positively agricultural. The difference between budget and more expensive guitars is nowhere what it was when I got my first electric from Woolworths in 1973.
Super interesting that the Aria has the 3 way switch, I was wondering if the middle pickup was on or off when pete said they didnt blend well
Ron kirn ,best i have ever played at nearly 70 i have played an owned and own lots of t style guitars 50s 60s but always go back to Ron's
you guys are the best! so entertaining!
If Lee had not gone into the family business, he could have been a court stenographer 😁
fgn sounds so dynamic.
The FGN definitely sounded the best to my ears (apart from Pete's own custom shop one). I'm really surprised Lee said it needed a pickup upgrade. The pickups may not sound 100% fender but they sound the most pleasant and most dynamic. It's probably owing to their long history of making Fender Japan guitars, they're the legit bargain price custom shop brand.
Great vid 😂 the Captain and Danish Pete are a duo for the ages.
This one made me laugh for like three minutes straight. 😂
I think that Aria Pro looks looks really rad.
That was awesome you guys ! Poor Pete ---- very familiar with how that feels
I was laughing out loud, my daughter was asking "What is so funny?" Loved it boys. Blindfolds mess with your mind!
Love this video!
Pete, I can tell you having had the chance to go through Nick Greers guitar collection, your favorite guitar is always your favorite today..tomorrow it will change. All of his guitars are my favorite guitar, Ha!
fantastic challenge! man, i am very sire-curious now!
Seen the Victory video. Well done Cap 👍🏻
We need one more with Pete & S-style guitars!
I bought one of those purple Vintage Vibe Tele's from Anderton's a couple of years ago. I really like that guitar, but I tell you what, the stock strings were so bad I didn't like it at all at first. But a string change to what I like (Elixir 009) and it's been great. I wonder how much the stock (usually cheap) strings came into play. Pete didn't seem to mind them but I'm curious.
That would be a video I'd be curious to see. Various price points of guitars compared with stock strings and fresh ones.
I love how Pete can play jazz chords blindfolded 😂
Captain, blindfolded Pete and a bunch of tele’s? YES!!!!!
Andertons at its very best +++ Pete is a great sport for doing this. Love it.
guitar burnout demoing gear ad infinitum...my brain hurts just imagining...my hats off to all you at andertons...I know it's a job but even I'm burning out just watching...I've got walls of guitars and i keep going back to my special tele..it's not the tele Pete...guitar exhaustion...I watch you guys religiously and have made some impulse guitar purchases (color driven) from Anderton's. if I had to demo everyday I'd lose it...
hang in there Pete and Lee just keep having fun! I need a laugh not a 30th overdrive pedal but I still watch
Good show guys!
Love you guys!
This video perfectly shows the importance of a good setup. Once Pete noticed an issue with the nut/action he couldn't get over it.
The setup is the only thing that matters. Everything else is opinion and usually negligible
Interesting heal on the Sire one
I love these blindfold challenges. Interesting views on the guitar without even seeing it.
That's so funny 🤣 I played a custom shop aged fender.. really wanting one, but walking away because it felt really cheap
I always choose a guitar by the feel of the neck, then the sound, then the weight. But no matter how well it plays, the price wll be the deciding factor of whether I buy it or not. I honestly think the chapman sounded the best. And I got to say, Petes side profile is starting to remind me of a famous cartoon comedy duo. nice one peavis.
What amp was used for the video?? I LOVE that tone!!
33:48 - OMG, isn't that a KidPix sound effect?! I used to love that program as a kid!
Hilarious! could watch these two all day
I'm honestly interested in the culture of these videos as much as the shootouts themselves. A very naughty episode. Me likey :)
I may be crazy, but I loved the sound of that Aria.
So funny 50% of the Custom Shop experience is knowing that it’s expensive and exclusive and in theory something special😂
Nothing sells me more on a guitar than having a black body, black-white-black pickguard and a maple fingerboard.
Just this beautiful combination of working class simplicity and tuxedo swag. Like a well-dressed mafia tough.
Paying more makes some folks feel special. Companies are very accommodating to this crowd.
Should get a masterbuilt
Yea for the dentists who cant play for shit. Guys who play can tell the minute you grab the neck.
@@GretchZ black strats with white guards 🤮probably the most generic guitar possible
even just having a black guard takes it to another level.
Anything reverse headstock with roasted maple neck/fretboard and I'm sold.
What's with the give away sign above the 2 klon pedals? Cool perspective on tele variants, btw
Damn I was hoping to get a discount on the Purple Telecaster Custom shop but it wasn’t listed in the description! 😜
There is one consideration that's fairly important to me, and that's the quality of the tuners. That might be the best mod for the really cheap guitars like the EastCoast or even Squier. I think the others come with good tuners, but not sure about the Aria.
Guess it depends on where it is build.
Back in the 90’s I bought an Aria Pro II MA-30, think they build that particular model in Japan, tuners are good on that one, only things I did to it back then was painting the cavities with graphite and adding adjustable polepieces to the pickups.
My son owns it today.
Great video guys as always. The look on poor Pete’s face though ! 😅
When are you guys going to test/review the new Orange OR30? Or did I just miss that video?
24:20 Lee struggling to get a plectrum from his jeans pocket, just to tune a guitar 😂
Ooooh want one of the iliads
That old tele video is still my favorite shootout video rivaling the OK Corral
Hang in there Pete. Your tele is awesome
Amazing what happens when you take away sight .. us Guitarists are so shallow 😂❤
Such a great video! Pete is such a great sport. @PeteHonore. Out of interest, what is the weight of your purple Tele? You always describe it as very light.
@andertons.. Ooh great! What have I won?
That white guitar sounds the best 👍
I'm looking to get my first Tele but it's indeed hard. Those FGN seems really great, especially the models with Seymour Duncan in it, but I'm not a fan of their look and shape (not classic Tele). The Sire ones have an amazing build quality and looks, and with some pickup swap, it will be an amazing Tele for the price. But again, it's true that we are influenced by the brand. I would prefer to have a Fender. But it cost so much, and the build quality is not always that great.
Lee's got shares in telecaster!
The man's guitar 💪 😂❤x
I fully admit that the headstock shape has way more to do with how much I like a guitar than it should lol can’t help it. It’s like food, we eat with our eyes first.
Really should have had a G&L Lee. Still a great video though. Just would've been cool to have the perspective.
Loving the new, government-enforced, business disclosures in the video description. You had a good, 10-year run, but honesty is the best policy!
You can tell how a T-style guitar will sound just by looking at the position of the bridge pickup relative to the bridge saddles. If it's spaced more than normal, it'll sound blander than if it's closer.
Hence the FGN sounds a bit blander at the bridge position than the others.
You should have included the new PRS NF telecaster
For decades Aria has been the leader of value and they're relatively unsung
As I sit here watching this video, enjoying an Alexander Keith's, I absolutely thought Pete was doing the same 🤣 those liquid death cans absolutely look like a lager.
Fn brilliant boys 😂
