That Tele is in beautiful condition and the playing is as nice as the instrument. That would be a birth year guitar for me, too bad I don't have birth year income! Thank you, Mike Seal!
@@kristopherk5454 The original wiring would have the neck pickup on the middle position of the switch. The "neck" position introduces a resistor that rolls off almost all high end. It was supposed to mimic a bass sound. Many old Telecasters were converted to the now standard bridge - both - neck wiring because that sound is almost unusable, but this guitar seems to be stock. So yes, neck pickup.
A good while back, I came to the conclusion that the '56 version of the Stratocaster was the best sounding '50s Fender made. I have now concluded that the '56 Telecaster sets right beside it. Musta been something in the calendar ...
I came for the Tele but I stayed for Mike. Awesome playing.
Great playing , has some Flamenco influence . Perfect guitar

Mike Seal is not listened to, he is savored like a good wine... Wonderful guitarist, happy new year to you and him !
Mike using those toneful fingers and classic solid bodies in glorious ways. Impressed again!
Are you kidding me man that was incredible. What a guitar and what a song
Such a delicate touch! Just beautiful. Nice guitar too!
Un-freaking believable. If I hadn't just watched and listened, I'd never believe it. AMAZING!
Fantastic balance with that beautiful warmth on the neck
That was utterly sublimely fantastic!
To me, the most sublime guitarist.
This is also how telecasters are meant to played. Well done.
God that neck pickup sounds heavenly.
Is the pickup selector in the middle position?

Ooooh yeah. Now it makes sense.
This is the first time I've heard a Telecaster sound like this …
Fantastic! This song is Slumber My Darling. I know it from the YoYo Ma/Alison Krauss collab.

Instant click for Mike
Why is this not a 60 minute video?
1:10 shows it needs a setup. It’s not intonated.
Not the intonation police. I found the jam very soothing.
