You deserve a signature model.. the Les Paul Davids
Holy shit that would be so awesome :D
I agree
Agreed
Maybe a Paul Reed Davids?
Cool name tho..
As a seventy year old grandmother, I needed to scratch an itch I’ve had since I was a teenager. So, a couple of weeks ago, I bought myself an Epiphone Les Paul 50s with the beautiful cherry sunburst finish and am delightedly following your videos. Got a lot to learn. Got a beautiful guitar.
Oh that is a wonderful thing to hear, I'm so happy you are pursuing your interests regardless of age, as so many mistakenly thing they are "too old". I'm sure you are playing beautifully!
absolutely made my day reading this, so happy for you!! keep at it!!
This comment just made my day. Stick with it it takes time but is one of the kost rewarding hobbies ive ever had.
Since my earlier post 70 has become 71 and I’ve added a Stratocaster to my mix.
@@eileenmacarthur1951 late happy birthday! i hope you have fun with the new guitar
"Learning how to play guitar? Wait! Don't touch the skip button, this is gonna change everything!
Me: *skips*
yeap. they have 5 seconds and use it just to say "... don't skip". Immediately skipping!
My one started with: "don't you hate it when...." ironic
Nicolò Sciacca I hate those ads
Argh is there a way to change the goddamn algorithm? I’m never gonna use one of these apps
I clicked on one of those ads only to discover that they were teaching me some watered down blues turnaround that I already learned 4 years ago.
Life lesson: don't buy guitars from Paul Davids, he knows which ones to sell. Excellent video nonetheless.
He probably knows which ones to buy too. I bet his rejects are by and large lovely guitars, he just keeps the absolute cream of the crop.

Eh. Maybe. But everyone has their preferences with their guitar. One thing Paul might not like about the feel or sound of a guitar might be something someone else enjoys
Production year: 2009
Model: 1959 reissue
Sequence number: 79
Manufactured in Nashville
for the les paul!
like this comment so paul will see it, like deze comment zodat paul het ziet!
Paul's hands: *shreds
Paul's guitar: *screams
Paul: "yeah"
😐
I don't get those random reddit copy posts, this one doesn't make any sense
Basically, 3:09, 4:32, 5:29, and so on. He shreds, his guitar screams, and then he says, "Yeah." There's really nothing to understand.
Yeah
“Yeah… so”
Paul, You are the Bob Ross of the guitar world. "Pretty noisy as well but thats just how guitars are." Beautiful
The guitars I can’t live without:
my old ass squier stratocaster cuz i’m broke af
Stormy Rainbow .-. Nothing wrong with squire. The Fender Custom shop guy found one in a shop and couldn’t believe how nice it played the production quality.
Nothing wrong about a old squire man. I got my 2008 classic vibe and I literally cannot let it go.
Made some mods over the decade but the sound, the feel, the memories and sentiments... it's just worth way more than the $200 sombody would may for.
It's a lifer guitar for sure.
It’s spelled SQUIER 🤦♂️
@@SG-wj2qj by squier he probably meant bullets or smth
@@SG-wj2qj it's not always the price tag that makes a good guitar. I have 2 epiphones that I realy love a 2004 Dot I bought off ebay for about 200 bucks, sure I swaped the pickups for a pair of (quite affortable) teslas and put on a bigsby vibrato (yes a 160 bucks vibrato for a 200 bucks guitar with a 120 bucks set of tesla pickups xD) and it's my most played guitar after my acoustic. And a 1995 korean Epiphone Sorrento I found in a stores farest corner (I guess the store owner didn't want to give it away) it's the best quality electric guitar I have ever seen and it's all original (exept for the bigsby... yeah I'm a bigsby guy xD).
I do have a Gibson ES 335 made in 2016. same issues as Paul mentioned. I still have it but I don't play it that often because it just doesn't feel as right as the other two...
so if you feel comfortable with your old squire keep it. never sell a guitar you realy love to play! It's not about the name tag :)
Your playing is amazing (as everyone clearly agrees) but I have to also say that your video production is fantastic - with all the subtle inserts and edits - you obviously are as precise and clever with your video editing as you are with your playing and teaching. I just wanted to be sure you knew this does not go unnoticed. Thanks for the quality content and keep 'em coming!
mate i just shed a tear over that comment lol wtf
I’ve got an 86 Les Paul sunburst, a 91 Strat plus ultra, and an 89 Ibanez Sabre, the Frank Gambali body style one. All I need is a tele that can talk back to me when I play it!
Yeah, what you said.
Love it when he talks about the certificate from the Les Paul so coveted like, then when he’s ready to move on, just throws it on the floor like a piece of trash.
Every Guitarist needs a minimum of six guitars. Strat, Tele, a single cut Les Paul type, a semi hollow ES-335 type and two acoustics, steel and nylon string. I currently only have two 😞
"Had to be a Strat and it had to be Red!" - Has Mark Knopfler said...
* got two red guitars *
"I don't like red to be honest"
And a red amp
@@sandervandenbroek5813 and a red ish les Paul
Maybe my monitor needs to be calibrated, but they look Orange to me. I am not a big Red guitar fan either but I just bought one yesterday. It does look very nice though.
@@RGMDG it's "fiesta red"
Same I have like 3 red guitars but don't like red at all but the play so great so I deal with the color.
What Paul inspired me is, not just the tech or the mindset of playing guitar, but maybe more important, attitude. I don't know why, just whenever you get tired of playing or learning how to play better, this kind of video just inspired me, made me feel like, "oh yeah the instrument I love is actually so beautiful and lovely" things like this.
“I’m not German, I am Dutch. It’s an entirely different thing, and I do not like the comparison.” 🤣
I agree as a german, but i really like dutch people and the country
Is there a comparable Dutch Guitar Manufacturer, who offers the same build quality ? I`m German, not Dutch, it´s an entirely different thing, and i also don`t like the comparison ;-) Great and my favourite neighbours, the Dutch ;-)
Paul was undoubtedly made familiar with the period 1940-1945 when he was of school age, in particular the period Oct 1944 - Ap 1945. What the Dutch people were subjected to after the failure of Operation Market Garden - the 'Bridge Too Far' op..... Look it up.
Austin Powers’ father: “ There’s only two kinds of people I don’t like-people who are intolerant of other cultures...and the Dutch!” Not me, I like the few Dutch people I’ve ever come across, but it’s funny.
I guess our habit of raiding small neighbor countries didn't come across as the nice thing we always thought it would be. Seems it has caused some hard feeling.
On a serious note: Great channel! And if it comforts you: nobody in their right mind can take your accent for German.
That feeling when you only have 1 guitar... *cries in corner*
(Edit: Chill people! it's a f*cking joke!)
That feeling when you do not have any guitar...
The feeling whit just acustic guitar haha
One is all you need. Think of Angus Young or Tony Iommi who barely use any other guitar than their #1s.
One guitar is all you need!
It's ok to have only one guitar. Especially if it's one that feels comfortable to you.
Paul, ask Austin at Trogly's guitar channel about your les paul, he knows everything about gibsons
Correct, Austin will most likely be able to answer that question.
Pot Dates and pickup types will help narrow down which decade it was built.
Yeah, Trogly is amazing with knowledge of 1970s-present Gibsons, especially the niche runs and the reissues.
Just wanted to say that. He's the one to go to with all Gibson-related question!
I’m pretty sure it isn’t a 50th anniversary model, since the certificate and booklet isn’t gold, and the 50th anniversary model was only produced in 500 exampels, so the certificate should state what number his guitar is. But they did produce a regular R9 in 2009 outside of the 50th anniversary line. So that’s most likely what it is. But I’m not sure, maybe his is some other thing I don’t know about. He should try and look at the other side of the certificate and see if Gibson put something there, they sometimes do.
The Duesenberg on clean would be soooo perfect for a slow dancing in a burning room cover.
The tone on that strat is heavenly
Thank you, bro, for putting together such high quality videos. I can tell you are hard working and focused.
Knew you were Dutch the second I heard your voice. Spent some time in Netherlands about ten years ago. Wonderful people that really made me feel at home. Really miss it sometimes.
The tones on all 4 guitars are amazing, congratulations! 👍🏼👍🏼
I love the improvised authenticity you present with. The humility balanced with the confidence…The personal quirks that you don’t understand. Very easy to relate to. You also sound like a badass in your brief samples. I don’t usually sit through many instructional vids without speeding them up. 🤦🏽♂️. Never has occurred to me with yours.
Your guitar tones are my favorites out of all the UA-camrs. Sounds great every time.
The four guitars I’ve always said I need not want, are a les Paul, a 335, a tele, and a strat. I love this video :)
Agreed but I would also add an SG
I'd replace the tele with a shred style guitar, probably an Ibanez
Meh. Single coil, humbucker, acoustic. Your choice which ones exactly. That's it. Everything else is being a guitar geek.
Not that I only own 3 guitars but at least I'm not lying to myself about it :-D
My roots were in Strats but I played a Les Paul for years. Finally went back to Fender Strats when I tried a Jeff Beck model. It spoke to me and I'm glad I picked it up. It covers all the styles I play (Rock, Jazz, Country, Blues, R&B). I love the way I get different textures based on how hard or soft I hit the strings or roll off the guitar volume/tone. Definitely my go to guitar.
Great video! Really enjoy your stories!looking forward to hear more about your earlier guitars, like the ones you use when learning guitar playing.
My dad had a bunch of guitars and equipment when I was growing up so when I had my teenager playing rock music phase I was sorta spoiled. I got to play a 69 Strat and a 1974 Yamaha SG-175. I also got to plug them into an early 80s Mesa Boogie.
Definitive experience for me not having to thrash away on a crap cheapo guitar so that when I finally picked one of those up for myself I felt the difference immediately. Luckily my dad has all of those things still so I can still totally play them anytime I want.
Super cool to hear you talk about the deusenburg! I’ve been playing it for a while and fell in love, but couldn’t find that much information on them. Absolutely gorgeous guitar and so versatile too!
Absolutely fantastic collection, Paul! Congrats!
Another great video, Paul! Thanks for showing us your electrics.
This guy is an excellent guitarist! Wow!
My favorite two guitars are the only two I own. My acoustic is a 2019 Taylor 414ce-r special edition v-class and my first ever electric, an Epiphone Les Paul Standard. Learning with you my friend. Keep up the good work.
Dude that LP is frikken perfect. Gorgeous!
Love that Strat too!
Every note this guy ever plays sounds amazingly good to me...i guess i probably oughta buy his album
My 1976 Gibson L6-S Deluxe is my prize possession. I spent a long while trying to find a guitar that spoke to me and this one just feels so right. It makes me want to play more. It's quirky and twitchy, the pickups are hot and it sounds absolutely FILTHY with distortion and some compression. It's mine and I love it.
A very under-rated guitar. I loved them, but couldn't afford one
It’s really cool how different people’s tastes can be. I went out of my way to buy an American Vintage 52 reissue tele and it is by far the best guitar I’ve ever played. I love everything about the design, sound, and the look
I bought my first guitar last week, so I guess that’s the one I can’t live without.
It’s a Gretsch 2622TG P90 Special Edition
Hi, Paul! Nice vid, as always! Thanks for sharing! My favorite guitars are: my standard fender strat 2007 MIM, but with customize locking tuners, pickups and hipshot tremolo and stock epiphone rock bass 1998 made in South Korea. They are both my favorite and amazing!
That intro... I've been playing for 20 years+, I started out wanting to play like that and I still can't.
As French i really appreciate « le plat de résistance » nice accent Mr Paul Davids ! By the way, amazing guitars and video ! Thanks for your work 👍
Another excellent video Paul. Loved the playing and the Bruce Hornsby clip followed by the punchline. Lol. Thanks for taking the time to show us your favorite guitars and why you chose them. Really enjoyed the challenge videos with your friends too like looper one and the metal riff one. Keep them coming...
Your videos are awesome. Great sense of humor and great descriptions of things.
I owned a strat most of my life and gave it to a friend when I moved and basically went full acoustic. Was shopping around and that it might be cool to own a Les Paul... but I realize that in every video, the Strat is always my favorite. Les Paul’s are cool for heavy, fuzzy riffs, but I like Strats.
Hi Mark I know this comment is old. I was wondering what was your reason for going mainly acoustic? I had the opposite journey as a child when I went from mainly acoustic to electric. I've seen a few online discussions recently about going full acoustic so I'm just curious on why someone might want to do that.
Man, that Haar Guitar sounds amazing.
How would a Haar strat be in relation to say a Westfield Strat ?
You are such a good player, that you make everything sound good.
Someone put guitars on earth to enjoy for a reason. You enjoy the best and I thank you for inspiring those of us to do the best we can. We would be in in a hopeless space without music and those who make it.
Good collection, my dream guitar is a Les Paul standard. In the future I would like to have: my dream guitar, tele, strat and a SG.
Great show, Paul! My favorite guitar is a 1963 Strat I own since 1976. Still plays beautifully (had to re-fret it though...)
Jan Cabri love a vintage Strat, I got a 1974
How smooth you're playing is.. great work
My Favorite I own is a Fender Troy Van Leuwan Copper Jazzmaster, I named it mojo within 2 hours of owning. Thing is flawless. Thanks for your guitar course! I am learning so much every week!!
I loved the sound of that duesenberg fullterton. Sounds like my strat, but in a domesticated way. I may get one of that
I like it when you say ‘electrical’ instead of electric. It’s a trend I’ve been trying to spread for years 😃
Thanks for another interesting video!
My favourite is my 1997 LP Classic fitted with Saturday Night Special pickups. I also have a Jeff Beck Strat from 2007 which is lovely.
I have got a ‘52 Tele reissue like you had, that I have never really grown into, so I’m thinking of selling it.
Cheers!
Geetar2112 the coolest guitar I’ve personally ever seen is my uncle’s 1960 Stratocaster. It’s not a reissue. It will be 60 years old next year.
Saying electrical as opposed to electric is a Dutch thing
So by definition, does "acoustic" become "acoustical"? Love Paul, his music & his videos.
Also in Afrikaans, annoying, but no harm.
@@TheBlade4X4 dat is het zeker maat
That Duesenberg !!! Beautiful
My favourite guitars are my 64 Strat, 68 ES335, 68 Tele, 72 Harmony H671, 63 Gibson Southern Jumbo and a 1992 Les Paul Standard. These are the ones that just have a thing that inspires and are so addictive to play as all of them have had a lot of play on them and the necks are naturally worn down so amazingly smooth.
Thanks for another great vid. Love that Duesenberg! Have not come across Haar guitars before so that is very interesting :)
Harr guitars are handmade in the Netherlands. They have a great reputation and I believe there is a waiting list to get one.
11:01 best part haha. Love your vids btw!!
I can watch Paul Davids and Darrell Braun all day. Great channels!
you are one of the youtubers that has made me appreciate the strat single coil sound in a way I never had. I was more the humbucker les paul guy. Gonna eventually get a strat for sure. My les paul has coil splitting so I sort of get the tone... but want those strat tones.
Can I also say, I bloody love the sound of that strat. It’s very warm, mid scooped. Love that sound. I actually think it was hearing your strat in several videos that inspired me to build a custom strat. We bought an unfinished, licensed neck, but we made the body ourselves out of huge piece of ash (hot piece of ash it was too lol) and put a lot of focus on playability. Turned out really nicely and it plays great! Yosemite pups so a slightly different sound but not far off, especially that neck pup. Mmmmmm. Nothing beats a strat neck sound. Pure sex.
BOTTLE OF WATAH
I was just about to write that I actually don't like the strat as it just sounds generic too me when I stumbled upon your comment. Les Paul just doesn't do it for me, they all just sound muted. I kinda like the tele, but I'd say that it is probably not a guitar for me ergonomically. I guess I am a 335 or maybe a 355 man, judging by the sound and looks, although I never played one, which may completely quench my interest with them when I do. Where I am based there are no guitar shops nearby, so I cannot really try them all. Maybe someday.
Paul, I really love your work. You're a gem in the (oftentimes) wastelands of UA-cam.
I apologize in advance for this long message but I feel you will understand my query:
Right now I play Squier 50s Classic Vibes, both the Telecaster and Stratocaster. I have no frame of reference for owning such lovely guitars as you do, but I do enjoy both of these lower-end guitars well enough, I guess. However, I have a thought:
In 2024, I will turn 50 years old. My first idea was to buy a vintage guitar from my birth-year. Not an original idea, but I could save and have one (hopefully). My thought was Tele, but I wouldn't know til I played a few '74 Teles, Strats, Les Pauls, etc. I don't feel I'd be too precious with a vintage guitar, it wouldn't be a wall-hanger. I would play it, and I would leave it for my kids to fight over after I'm gone. It would be played.
Then I thought maybe, instead, and for probably the same money (or close), I could get a Custom Shop guitar, brand new, and start with it at 50 years old myself. That could also be very lovely. I wouldn't (maybe) worry so much about nicks and dings with a relic job.
My third thought was to just try guitars until one spoke to me. Maybe 'The One' would be cheaper than vintage or Custom Shop, I should just play them all until I found the one that felt like I was *home*. But that could take forever, potentially, and in these Covid times right now, I do not get to be in guitar shoppes very often (we only have one in my small city, and it's a chain store) and I live 3 hours from Toronto, which is off-limits to me right now anyway, virus-numbers-wise. Maybe by 2024 it will be all back to whatever normal will be...
Lastly, I could just stay with my Classic Vibes, let this whole idea go. Really, they're quite OK. And maybe I could put some money into a better amp than my Boss Katana 50 Mk.1 and my Yamaha THR5. But, guitar-wise, I'd always have that lingering thought in my head... what if...
What would you do? Just find one that speaks to me, whether it be vintage, Custom Shop, or whatever else (if I can ever get somewhere to try them out)? Or is there one clear choice? I don't feel like it's an easy answer, but perhaps I am over-thinking this.
Thanks again for all that you do. Keep up the amazing work!
I hope you went out and got one, man.
@@gundamnitpete Thanks, but not yet. I'm still working on it!
Great post! Thank you for sharing Paul.
Fender sound is the most beautiful for me from these 4 top guitars of Paul Davids
I never thought I'd own a tele. However one day I went into sweetwater and a guy brought out a daphne blue sandblasted telecaster made exclusively for sweetwater by fender. I must of sat and played it a hour in the store I could not put it down. After having the luthier there lower the action ,put a different pickup in the bridge and a set of locking tuners I took it home. And out of all 11 guitars I own that is the one I'd keep if I had to sell every last one!!
How much did you pay?
My obsession right now is the 'Gretsch Streamliner' which is a bit like the Duesenberg. Ohh I looooove it😍 the tremolo system is just awesome (it's bigsby) and the pickups and everything is absolutely wonderful 😍😍
Yeah... You need to have dreams so.. maybe one day I'll have it in my collection 🙃
Thank you , first of all, for all your videos,. After many years and very many guitars, I've settled on the following keepers, all of which I cherish: Fender Player Plus Strat., Gretsch G5622T, Epiphone Sheraton II plus, and A PRS Se hollowbody II. The Gretsch, Epi and PRS wiped out my 50's Les Paul which was returned to the store last Saturday, for a substantial refund after restocking fee. Thanks again
Love your videos, guitars, tone…you rock!
How on earth do you do all this amazing video editing?? It must take aaaaaages!!! It's definitely worth it tho!
I just bought a les paul special with p90s and i love it! Grat guitars, great sound, great channel.
Thanks for sharing !
Very informative
The most likable person in the guitar world ever! How can you NOT like this guy? 179 haters what the hell?!?
Duesenberg - White; wow, I thought it was a beautiful guitar with great tone. The Les Paul was awesome and the Dutch Tele sounds great. I choose the Duesenberg as the overall choice for me.
the high E on the tele has a nice sitar sound ;-) My guess its that the nut is the culprit. When the slot is unevenly filed or the angle is not steep enough the string can buzz in the nut... groetjes uit België
Great video . Out of my collection I will say my 92 American Standard Strat, 91 Natural Gibson Les Paul, and my 2010 ES 339 Custom Shop.
Can you do a video covering your amps you use, which settings you prefer for studio vs on-stage and what amps you would like to add to your collection?
6:55 “ringing” That’s a unique... same with me on my strat first string 😄
It sounds like a Saddle is loose on the bridge. But then again what do I know Ive not touched my guitars in 4 years now and I might be losing my trouble shooting touch.
From now on, I will call them “electrical guitars”.
"Geetaurz"
I won’t
Lovely guitars, thanks for sharing.
Vintage 1968 Les Paul Custom Black Beauty. Plays like an absolute dream.
I like your Haar the most. It says Paul Davids signature. Mr. Haar could fix that high E string. But that Big D sounds so smooth.
All amazing guitars - especially the LP. Another good'n to showcase would be an SG :)
I had a chance to play on a Les Paul Gibson once..
Can't stop thinking about it even after 20 over years.
The one you showcase first.. is truly a dream guitar imho.
Warm, rich videos almost like listening to Vinyl. They have a relaxing quality. Can we see more of your shows/performances please. From the UK 🇬🇧
My favourite guitar??🤔🤔
SRV's guitar
Paul,your collection is a door to heaven,I wouldn't ask more if I hade your collection
But you can't play SRV's guitars without his fingers (and the fact that he used
@@brandonardila8868 yeah but he tuned down so theres less tension
@@beenmicrophone5817 Oh, yes. But .13 (his most used gauge) on Eb, and bending like he did it is really hard..., in my experience :(
But yes, sometimes even he took .12. Even his carasteristic sound was influenced by his gauge.
Brandon Ardila lol I can never play his guitar,with or without fingers 😅😅 he's a God tier level guitarist while I'm a beginner
but just the feel you can have by trying a guitar that belong to such a guitarist is an honnor and it's a great experience (like Lucille of bb king for example)
ps:sorry for my bad english I speak french also sorry for the late replay
Hi Paul, congrats, your guitars and your channel are fantastic! I'd like to ask you a question. Does your custom shop strat has a fingerboard of 7.25 radius? If yes, do you suggest this kind of radius rather than the 9.5 of modern strat? I'm going to buy a new guitar and I'm so undecided. Many people says that it's hard to bend with 7.25.
That exact Duesenberg is my DREAM guitar!
My Rickenbacker 370 and I will never part. Modified by a Dutch lutiher near Maastricht as it happens! Bypassed the "Ric-O-Sound" and each of its 3 pickups has an individual on/off switch. Love it.
The moral of this story- never buy a guitar from Paul!
“You can sell it for what you paid for it... if you do it right.” Classic
Geoff Morrissey imagine if someone who bought a guitar from Paul tuned in- ‘ooh, I bought a guitar from that guy once, I wonder if it’ll get a mention... oh 😐’ 😂😂
hahahah!!! Yeah!!!
flipper2gv so true
😂
What a statement, "This the best Les Paul I've ever played." I don't own the best of anything I've ever played. But someday I hope to be able to say that. Good on you mate :)
I haven't played anything I haven't owned..
Very Good choice !!!
i love Tele Haar and dusenberg Fullterton ...
I had a 1977 SG which I sold, I own a 1999 American Strat, a Jaguar Special HH and a crème Fullerton CC. This is probably the best guitar I have ever played in my entire life. The neck tone is so warm and it makes me feel like I'm a better guitarist when I play this guitar ;-) Awesome piece of wood!!!
Hi Paul, I got an acoustic guitar in Morelia, Mexico that sounds great. For $20 USD, it sounds way better than $500+ guitars I’ve tried out. It’s a Gilb guitar. The action is maybe a little high for me but I love it😊
"It's not the price that makes a good guitar" - Chris Leduc, master luthier. Some of the world's very best guitarists and bassists are his clients. Have you seen Blackmore's "OFR" (Only For Ritchie) "Strat" made of 250 years old woods? She's his daughter. Abe Laboriel never goes to any session without his 4 Leduc basses... In fact, his instruments are rarely seen on stage as... Don't expect endorsement from an artisan who only builds 25-30 guitars or basses a year! But they end being heard on many big productions. When Peter Gabriel's sound engineer says he prefer the Leduc basses over any others, what does it means? Does Tony Levin owns some too?
Gibson Custom Shop ES-446 is the best electric guitar ever made (...in my opinion).
Fall in love with this gibson
A few days back I got a present from my wife, which totally blew my mind. She got me a Gretsch G5124 White hollowbody. She told me that she searched a very long time to find it, since only 200 pieces worldwide were produced in white. I completely fell in love with my G5124. I’ll put up a video and soundsample soon.
Great video and beautifull guitars!
Cheers from ‘s-Hertogenbosch
Hello Paul, those are 4 beautiful guitars, thank you for sharing them with us.
I have been learning about Brian May's unique "Red Special" or "....the Old Lady" guitar which he famously built himself alongside his father in the mid 60's.
Do you have an opinion about this guitar? It certainly had some unique and very clever features which are still brilliant today and allows a wonderful versatility in pick-up/phase selection giving a huge variety of tones and sounds.
Could one of the replicas, "Special" or "Super" from BMG be a fifth guitar you could not live without?!
Thanks again and best wishes.
Sometimes that tinny buzz that you hear on the high e string of your Telecaster can be cause by the contact point on the string tree (on the headstock)
mike.is.guitar don’t be a dick. Maybe Julian was specifying in case someone was scrolling the comments who was new to guitars and didn’t know that.
The vintage tuners on mine started to have lash in the gears. Had to replace two of them because of a buzz.
Julian Sherwood
I suggested the headstock side of the nut slot but your suggestion could also be it. Both are common spots for weird contact.
The buzz I hear on my guitar is on the b string
Nice guitars Paul! Love the sound of the neck pickup on the Haar Tele! Real bluesy!
Favorite electric, 90's vintage guild bluesbird. It resonates because of the chambered body. Neck is chunky and a comfortable width, length and radius. It has jumbo frets and the best sustain of any guitar I've owned. Overall build quality is excellent. I've owned a dozen or so electrics over the years.
