Celebrating 60 Years of the Fender Telecaster Part 1 | Fender
/ fender
Burton came into a car dealership where I worked in Shreveport, La. To buy a car for his wife. We sat in my office and visited, talked about Elvis. The highlight of my life. Super nice for a superstar 😎👍
Awesome story
What kinda car did he buy do you remember ?
Wow. This was a wonderful celebration when it came to celebrating 60 years of the legendary Fender Telecaster back in 2011. As a guitar player, I have always loved and admired those Fender Telecaster electric guitars even though I am mostly a Fender Stratocaster player. In my arsenal guitar collection, I own 2 Fender Telecasters that I have not played lately for a long time but I am planning to pick them up and play again. It really turns out that the Fender Telecaster electric guitars are also versatile just like the Fender Stratocaster electric guitars and you can play any musical styles as well as genres with them. In my book, the Fender Stratocasters and Telecasters are both the number one electric guitars for everything music. Like I said, I own 2 Fender Telecasters of different types and they are both wonderful. The first one that I have is a 2009 MIM Standard while the second one is a Deluxe Nashville Custom with 3 pickups which I redesigned myself by adding a Fender Stratocaster pickup of some sort in the middle. Both of my Fender Telecasters are wonderful and they are keepers even though I have not played them in a long time as I have been focusing too much on playing my Fender Stratocasters. Otherwise, great video and presentation as always. Stay classy, Fender.
Been playing 30 years.... recently fell in love with Teles.... now saving for one....
Great !
R.I.P. to Roy Buchanan..."The best unknown guitarist in the world"
Fender telecaster 1953 #2324 nickname Nancy
George Kanakopoulos My Favorite Telecaster Player
@@itsAdriannn: Roy Buchanan and Danny Gatton are one of my favorite Fender Telecaster players of all time. Those guys were the two guitar players that did not get the fame or spotlight that they both deserved as none of them had achieved stardom. Roy Buchanan and Danny Gatton were both known as the world's greatest unknown guitarists and they played really good as they had their own techniques and so forth. One of the things that they had in common was both of them were from the Washington, D.C. area. However, Danny Gatton was born in Washington, D.C. while Roy Buchanan was born in Ozark, Arkansas but both of them had went on to call Washington, D.C. their home as they had played gigs over there a lot. Roy Buchanan and Danny Gatton were both best known for playing the original 1953 Fender Telecaster models and those were one of the classic models from the 1950s that a lot of Fender Telecaster players have favored over the years. Even the country music veteran Vince Gill has mainly used a 1953 Fender Telecaster model both on stage and in the studio. And that's that. RIP to the two pioneers of the Fender Telecaster sound.
I love Telecasters
Me encanta!!..para mi es perfecta,tengo 3 Telecaster!
I've played a tele the last 20 years, best guitars ever.
Amazing that Leo and gang got it so right,so soon in its development.Genius is an overused word nowadays but it applies here.
the tele keith urban is messin around with is sweet it looks like andy summers' guitar
I love them
I have a 60 aniversey an it is the nicest sounding and playing guitar I have ever played ,and it was worth ever penny
James is one inspiring guitarist. And he is from Shreveport!!
Fender makes the best axes in the bizz 😎😎
I love my tele.... is exactly the same as the vivno tele... blonde, white pickguard and rowewood fretboard... I fall in love with the tele since I saw one for the first time... a blue one, in the hands of cobain. One of the most underrated guitars in the world is the tele custom II, the one with p90´s... my fav axe
and in the gibson spot elliot easton says that the essence of the guitar is the sg custom.... so...
I convinced myself that if I put a little switch that allows me to turn on the neck pickup on a strat, I would have a strat = tele combo in one guitar. That was when I was a strat player. The tele had been whispering on my ears for quite a while. Then I realized that strat bridge pickups just would never do it, and finally got a nice tele. I was born again. Nothing sounds better than a telecaster.
Telecaster is the BEST!!!
WE LOVE U LEO.! THE BEST GUITAR IN THE WORLD
Leo got it right first time, and despite all efforts nobody has ever made a BETTER guitar - interesting parallel with the saxophone, since its first prototype modern instruments are pretty much identical because despite all efforts nobody has ever made one that sounds worse, they just nailed pure awfulness right off the bat.
Getting a Tele to run fuzz through. It's so manageable
the first guitar I want was the tele. I fell in love since the firt time I sa it, in the hands of kurt cobain, the blue one. Finally I choose a blonde with rosewood, I love it, but I never care for the strat until I play one, and everything changed. I love my les paul but the experinece of playing is better with fenders. Then I bought the tele custom in black with p90´s. It´Squier. AMAZING guitar.
I'm playing a Y2K Nashville tele MIM and its been my workhourse for the past 8 years. None of my other "Fenders" come close to this one. Plays and sounds the best to me, Just like Vince ksaid.
Wow, 6,500 a day! Love to hear Merle Haggard play.
It's weird page plays whole lotta lov on stage w/ gibson but on the record a tele
Yep. Best all around guitar ever. Price. Sound. Durability. Legacy. Look. Feel. Leo gave us the best, first.
Never heard of half those guys.
For the 100th anniversary of the Telecaster please make the replica of the first Telecaster ever made.
@lighteningboy
and keith richards.... i firstknew of the existence of the tecaster because of him.
Love this video! Love Guitars!
Check out early playing of Robbie Robertson in with Ronnie Hawkins. Also DC Thomas and the Shays .Fred Keeler..Toronto tele players.killing it..in the early 60,s...Dom Troiano.Bobby Star..awsome tele stuff
I suppose I've done the "Strat and Tele all in one" approach, but from the other direction - adding an extra switch to a Strat for the neck+bridge pickups sound.
When I was first starting to play I wanted the humbucker guitars of the rockers of the day. But, damn my neighbors Tele played so damn easy. Even unplugged it sounded so nice. Too thin for my young ears, but even then I knew it was a quality instrument. Wished I would have bought it from him, even the case smelled nice.
heard of glass slides? how about brass? not sharp enough? how about a freaking nine volt battery?? love it 3:39 looks like it came out of a pedal or something
i was trying to figure out what kind of fucking slide he was using. 🤣
And if you want acoustic sounds,..no problem! Twangy yes when it needs to be. Soft and mellow otherwise. Love my 52 reboot!!
Found an interview with Jimmy Bryant, where he speaks of his relationship with Leo Fender as the Telecaster caught fire. Bryant was gifted a tele by Leo Fender, and has been credited with a key role in the new guitars' meteoric rise in popularity/demand, starting in the Country Swing days. He mentions playing "one the first Telecasters built in a one car garage" (Fenders' garage), and that the 1st published image of the guitar was in a Roy Rogers movie. He was a WWII vet, switching from violin to guitar while in special services. His musical talents likely kept him out of combat, being valued for entertaining the troops. He was far ahead of his time, well known for his improv talent. One commentor dates it ~1975, 5 years or so before his death of lung cancer in 1980: @ Performance with Speedy West: @
Look into John Suhr's. I have a MIM Copperburst that I put in a set of his Tele standards and played through my hodrodded 65 twin reverb. The Suhr PU's aren't quite as bright but lose none of it's rock crunching sound. My MIM will do anything I want from rock eating to mellow jazz. While you're at it try a set of Curt Mangan standard 10 strings. Sounds fantastic. BTW, Suhr was the head of Fender's custom shop before going on his own. My next guitar will be one of his Classic T's.
0:46 even Col.Gaddafi loves teles
where is keith richards? ?
Jeff Beck loves it so much that he uses a Strat instead.
Notice how Keith Urban says turning his Tele into a Strat "just never worked" - and the video begins with James Burton, who has done just that.
The real message: A conventional Tele is what works best for Keith Urban - and maybe for you, too. But feel free to explore.
John 5 really did great thing in that short clip ...;)
2:37 hey its steve bannon!! lol
saw it
I'm a recent convert, although I've had one for 17 years!
god i hope i get one of these
And really, the guy from vertical horizon and that dbag from train are in your star roster?
graham coxon, johnny greenwood, keith richards?
That strat ain't got a whole lot of hair hanging off it either my personal fave
All my guitar heroes play.strats SRV CLAPTON To name the best at the top of the list
@MrSuchy945
With the funny headstock? That's a custom shop "snakehead" it's a reproduction of an early prototype of the telecaster. Sells for about $8k. You can have one made for a lot cheaper.
The slide player at 3:43 is using a Duracell 9 volt battery for his slider...!!!
That dude at 4:46 is just hilarious.
The guy from the Foo Fighters blows. He's one of those guys who blasts away on a really loud amp and jumps around the stage like a psychopath, but sit him down with a tele through a clean Fender amp and he's a chump.
And Keith Richard ????
"I do not make threats,I carry out orders."
Yeah🔝🎸👌
the most iconic player of les pauls... jimmy page, strats, clapton, hendrix... sf, angus, jaguars, cobain... teles???? where is keith richards???
i want to get warmer pickups on my tele, I own MIM standard. Anyone have advice on which ones i should be looking at?
@Dino Buckhoy them Texas Specials are exactly what they say they are SPECIAL!!😎😎
Wilko Johnson of Dr Feelgood
My Tele has the Same neck plate. Watch 5:39.
@teckogecko5 40th anniversary telecaster made by the custom shop
Ummm was that a D battery dude was playing slide with lol
Where's Don Rich?
Same video, that's spam!
I love my American Deluxe. I mean I REALLY love it. Did I mention that I love it? Because I love it. I will have it all my life. I expect it to be cremated along with me when I die.
But after all, one piece of wood does not sound like another, it is ALL about having the RIGHT wood pieces in the right WEIGHT!
I didnt know benicio del toro was a tele player 😂
he recorded the stairway to heaven solo on a tele. Nuff said.
Well, the boss plays the Telecaster so it must be good
@lighteningboy that's a good point!
@fendermusical please call greg and give him a tele, and stop recycling your own videos!
Give a Tele to Greg Koch, point a camera at him and post it. There, another video!
Ya didn’t mention GuthrieTrapp dammit.
to be honest, the only pioneer of the telecaster is one of the ones who isnt included here. Jimmy Page was the one who was able to really show that the telecaster was not just some country slab of wood, he showed its various colors. Shame that no one could appreciate his work enough to include him in something like this.
Burton..Buchanan.. Robbie Robertson.. Showed its versatility playing blues and rock way before page beck and Clapton... Check out earlier stuff of Ronnie Hawkins.DavidClayton Thomas.and the Shays...killing televlicks and tones.
Just bought one to find out Keith urban uses one- time for a refund:(
He’s an extremely talented player, and I think he makes fender proud.
Do you just not like him or what?
Again???
Guys, you're making me hate my Tele!
no point in posting this video again and again.just stop already dude!
Hey, you should stop uploading this.
oh yeah... great video... it's fun to watching people talking and talking without even hear the sound of the 60th anniv. telecaster. nope i'm kidding. this video's sucks
stupid kaddafis
Can't stand the twang. But I'm sure they make a really good paddle, in a flood situation.
