      I've got a midnight blue (purple-ish) telecaster with a sparkle in the finish. It's AMAZING!
      I have my favourite guitarists like Frusciante and JM. But Pete, you inspire me to pick up the guitar more than anyone! Love this video and you really were meant to have this guitar, it's a brilliant story. Love you Pete, Andertons videos are 100 times better with you on board the team and we are blessed to see you play/test all these guitars and gear. Thank you so much for being amazing and inspiring me and so many others to play and try be the best player I can be. And for all the little tips you give us all along the way.
      Thanks man!

      Well, everything Pete plays sounds great...I could hand Pete a guitar that I think is rubbish because I can't get a decent drop D riff out of it...and he would casually and effortlessly knock Papa Roachs' "Last Resort" out of the park 😎...that's just Pete.

    I started playing guitar around 5 months ago, and had my heart set on a purple Schecter for my first electric. My friend who inspired me to pick up the guitar in the first place told me no - don’t spend so much on your first guitar, so together we looked at what was available. Purple and orange have always been my colours, so I knew the guitar had to be purple, that was my only requirement. We found the purple 60’s vibes squires you guys had, and as soon as I saw it, I fell in love. Since getting it, I’ve had the pickguard swapped out for a psychadelic purple/orange custom one, and even though it’s my first guitar, I hear what you’re saying about having a guitar that you connect with. It feels like it could only be my guitar, and because of that I’m inspired every day to pick it up and play it. So, thankyou, Pete, for being the reason why I have my perfect purple guitar - even though I have notoriously bad GAS, I haven’t had any inclination to get anything else, how can you improve on perfection?

    Telecasters can be so underrated, there's something special about a great Tele the way it will ring when played acoustically, the feel of the neck and just a pure slab of ash which will absorb and spread out those vibes evenly and rounded. Even Les Paul diehards if you play enough Tele's you will find one that will be hard to walk away from then you will know! Great video as always. 😊

    I wore out the frets twice. Picked up a Fender licenced Might Mite tele neck. Exactly the same neck and frets. I'll need a re-fret soon.
    I looked at 3 Fenders that day in 2003. They just could not match the Squire for bold Tele sound.

Bought it for about 450 euros. I was pretty broke at the time so I borrowed the money from my mom who knew i really had to get it, and so i did. It plays most other guitars out of the water, it's got such a charm and feel about it... Plus it has a Fender branded bottle opener on it! I've been playing it for years. Huge thanks to my mom for the help at the time.

Love at first hold. did not plug it in or tune it just held it like a baby. 2 different sales guys tried to take it from me to ring it up - and I was told I growled at them ( I am a large person, they backed off) the third salesman came up slowly and asked if he could just take the tag. I could not speak but let him. 25 years later and with many mods it is still my favorite guitar and my voice.

    I believe in the ownership of many guitar's but with that one there , and there are three ? I say dont seek the others out and let others enjoy them . Truly a wonderful guitar .

    So great to bond so tightly with a guitar. And when the “right” tele is in your hands, it’s over. You become a tele guy.

    Session guy Michael Thompson loves purple, too. Every year his wife would buy him a new purple guitar (I think for Christmas) and it was always exciting to see what he got. He even drove a purple BMW! Congratulations on getting your guitar. Great story!

    It's so nice to own a guitar that just 'speaks to you. I have a black Les Paul that is just so perfect to my ear and feels so perfect in the hand, that I could never part with it.

    I tried one of the Custom Shop 'clones' a couple of months back in the shop, and I'm now obsessed with big, chunky U-shaped Tele necks!!

    The purple tele is just so versatile. The twisted tele neck pickup is amazing. I have the DP51s in a tele, and they are such a great set. Makes the tele a do everything guitar.

    My go to tele is actually a 94 Korean made Squier that I refinished in nitro, has a chunky maple neck and just feels amazing, I also own a 74 Tele Custom but the Squier blows it out of the water for some reason, just chimes so perfectly and is so comfortable

    Went cheap and overseas very recently and picked up a lefty purple Danish Pete CV50 from Andertons....had to replace the first fret (too low)....but with brass saddles and Lollar Special T's....what a beautiful beast in tone and looks.

    Pete, the tele is indeed cool, but it’s you man that makes it really cool 🤙

    I have a small guitar shop in my home. I found just the right body and neck to build 2 of these, I had the hardware. Then the pups... I called Fender twice, and talked to ~3 people each time. They would not sell me just a neck 'Twisted Tele' pup, no matter who I talked to!! I did manage to buy 2 '51 'No-caster' pups though. I ended up just buying the 2 Custom Shop Twisted Tele sets. I'll just use the bridge pups on a different project. The bodies are in the dryer, won't be long. 8) --gary

    Very Special review. After following you for several Years it’s amazing the impact. I’m back east and was out for a jog
    Passed a house with several doors and shutters that were purple. The first thing that came to mind was your reviews with the Captain about the purple Telecaster! …. I now have both the Mexican purple Telecaster and Strat ….thanks:)!
