Fair warning, youngbloods, after you discover telecasters you'll start dreaming of giant hollowbody gretch guitars. Doesn't make sense at the moment, but give it time, the most distant future will arrive. Awesome commentary as usual, thanks, Jack.
Omg I thought i was the only one that could absolutely NOT get over the gretsch (I don't know how to spell it) design. Especially the les paul type. It's MONSTROUS.
I am 100% with you on that. They're terrible...but I might try and get a used one for the channel just to prove myself right 😂 Thanks for watching mate 🤘
You're right,I used to hate teles, now I've one tele copy and modified to be some kind of Richie Kotzen copy... And I love it.. Warlocks were my 1st love when I was a kid in the 80s I think that I don't hate any cost shape... Just don't like active pups, but that's all
That's awesome man, it creeps up on you doesn't it haha! Tbh it's a good think if you don't hate any shape. I've got some strong opinions on guitar stuff but I'd never criticise someone for liking what they like, that's what makes us interesting! Thanks for tuning in as always bro 🤘
I'm not left-handed, but I do love the look of a lefty played regularly... So when I needed a Jazzbass, I bought a lefty Squier 🤣 It needed a setup of course, but it plays fantastic + it's immediately far more noticeable than a 10 a penny right-handed bass 😜 And to match that bass, I also found a lefty Strat! It always confuses the hell out of my left-handed musician friends, though... But it's a great excuse to say: "I've created a (deserved) bigger market for you lefties by buying 2!" 🤘😜🤘
I love Telecasters , they are very versatile guitars. I just purchased a Michael kelley tele. With humbuckers and split coils. Love it man. Take care 👍✌️🎸🎸
T-style guitars do seem to be all the rage these days with the crunchy, djenty players - just with dual humbuckers and all blacked out instead of matte shell pink or light pale baby blue. Tele's, especial PT configs, seem to be going strong!
@@JackTaylorGuitars Thank you for the videos! As ADHD riddled guitarist they have helped me a lot, and Iv'e recently bought a Strandberg Vintage delux with the tele style pick ups and it's helped me so much as I play at my desk most of the time, the guitar is so balanced I can still have it on my lap and type on the keyboard and sping around on my chair without a headstock knocking into things! My poor other guitars haven't left their cases since I got it! Thanks again for the great content! 🤘
Ah dude, that’s kind of you to say. I’m super happy about that! And congrats on the Strandy, I feel the exact same way. Just the best guitars. Appreciate you man, thanks for being around 🤘
It's an interesting way to look at it mate 😂 Luckily, I've been with the perfect woman for the last 9 years and counting but that doesn't mean I can't look for more guitars! Thanks for watching mate 🤘
Hilarious video and couldn’t agree more with some of the comments, especially about the whole ‘Murphy aged’ bullshit. I’ll play the Fenders and Gibsons I have but definitely out of the market for any new ones. Admittedly, my playing is so crap I have no business owning a nice guitar anyway!
Thank you so much my dude, I'm really glad you enjoyed it! 🤘 And dude, just as an aside, don't put your playing down if you're enjoying your guitars man. Play/buy whatever makes you happy, that's what matters 👊
I hate (and I hate myself for hating) the Les Paul. For the longest time it was my dream to own a proper Gibson Les Paul and I got to make my dream true in 2020, when I bought a Les Paul Classic. I visually adore that guitar, but it's the most uncomfortable guitar I've ever owned. Heavy, square and with no proper access to higher frets, I loathe it and I wouldn't buy it again if I had the chance and the money (especially since they're almost $1k dearer than they were four years ago). I still wanna try a more modern and more ergonomic alternative (LTD Eclipse, more specifically) but I'm never buying another original or "proper clone" of the Les Paul. I also hate the ESP/LTD Arrow because of how cool it looks and how hard it is to find a fitting gig bag (The ESP Alexi Laiho case is huge, it's the size of a door).
Gibson gets a lot of hate, and deservedly so sometimes. However, I love my Gibson Explorers. Ive had some not so great Les Pauls in the past, but Ive never gotten a dud Explorer. They hold tuning, play fast, and feel so comfortable. I have a Solar E-type, Schecter E-1, and an ESP Snakebyte for comparison sake. The Explorers are right there with them.
@@JackTaylorGuitars mate, reading the Gibson fans attempting to crap on anythjng that isn’t American made is hilarious at times. It’s a gift that keeps on giving…except it wasn’t a gift…they paid…lots of Fnaaar
Relicing a guitar and asking for a $1000 markup to be tapped with a hammer and old keys by and spend less than 2 minutes sanding the in one spot. I couldn't give a f**** about the BS "Vintage Look" and "Vintage Feel".
It's ok man, I've been cut to the core by some of the takes as well but we're strong enough to take it 👊 You're absolutely spot on with the Gretsch point though dude! Thanks again 🤘
Schecter guitars, they have amazing specs, BUT why they have to be sooo edgy, like angty teenager edgyness.The only good looking Schecter is the Keith Merrow signature.
This is true man 😂 They do have a lot of super edgy guitars. Bat inlays, racing stripes, roman numerals. It's all there! The Merrow is great, the new Aaron Marshall is so sick too. Thanks for watching mate 🤘
The St. Vincent is probably the ugliest production guitar i have ever seen. It literally looks so close to the plank guitars people use to test tone wood.
It is a weird af guitar dude, that's for sure 😂 Although, I might be nuts, but there's a completely blacked out model and I kinda like it... Thanks for watching mate! 🤘
@@JackTaylorGuitars They are terrible guitars. They all weigh a ton, ugly as homemade sin and the string spacing really narrow. In the 80's and 90's you could hardly give them away. Hipsters saw them, thought they looked 70's retro and drove the prices through the roof.

Cool I made the video. Also I was unaware at the time my comment entered me in a giveaway.
I hope you don't mind me having a little joke dude and I really do appreciate you being honest 🤘 Thank you bro!
@@JackTaylorGuitars I found it funny actually and I'll be rocking out on my original ML-2s in Fireburst and Dusk.🤘🤘 Have a great day.
@@ryanbobadilla2527 Good man, I'm glad. The original ML2 is a beauty as well, have a blast with them. Cheers mate, you too 🤘
I like teles, but as time goes on, I find that I dont like the traditional tele pickup configuration. I need a humbucker in the bridge.
Oh yeah 100% dude. Love a tele but I can't live with the twangy single coil bridge. Thanks for watching mate! 🤘
any headless guitar...yuk.
Mate...I cannot stand for this heresy 🤣 Jk we like what we like, right? Thanks for checking out the video dude 🤘
For teles I think its the pickguard. The moment you change it to a modern design like suhr teles it really looks great.
Yeah I’m with you on that dude! Thanks for checking out the video 🤘

It really does get to us all 😂 Thank you mate 🤘
man, my first electric is a tele. So im sixty in my twenties already?

comment for guitar? oh man it's the Chapman. damn

The Tele is a great guitar. Maybe the second most important guitar ever made.
As a Gibson fanboi this hurt. I stand by that Gretsch comment though

oddly im left handed (and footed for football) but play Guitar right handed
my top most hated guitar is a tele. cuz I can’t fucking afford them
Plenty of awesome cheaper tele options available mate unless you want something a bit special! Hope you get one one day and cheers for watching mate 🤘
