You probably dont care but if you are stoned like me during the covid times then you can stream all of the new series on Instaflixxer. Have been streaming with my girlfriend for the last couple of weeks xD
Been playing for 30 years and a metal/rock head at heart since the beginning. Only now in 2020 I finally got myself a tele, a NashT63, and it's the best guitar I ever played. The sound is just beyond words. Can't believe it took me 30 years to discover the telecaster guitar
What is this phenomenon 😂 same story, only it took one little country lick and it turned me and I've been walking this weird country road ever since. The music feels more authentic to the heart is my only explanation.

I’m with you 100%! I had spent most of my years as a strat and les paul kind of guy, until I got my first tele. Man, was I blown away!! Best guitar ever! One day I’ll have my custom shop. :) Great video as always, my friend. Cheers!!
Same experience here Andre...bought three teles in quick succession this year
4 роки тому
Jeremy James awesome!! I’m gonna do some upgrades on my player series, cause I really love this guitar! Amazingly well built instrument... And then, one day, I plan on buying a CS. 🤘🏻
Can't afford custom shop so I built my own and man am I happy with my diy #1 guitar! I even put a Fishman piezo system in mine so I can do the acoustic thing too
The neck pickup on that guitar is amazing! Often people neglect that position on teles since the bridge has such a distinct sound. But you got amazing sounds out of it.
Dude! That riffage at 5:28 is killer! Not really what one would think of as a “Tele type” tone and riff. But dang!! It pulls it off perfectly! Your Tele seems like a jack-of-all-trades Swiss Army knife guitar. Sweet!
Thanks for this video! I have to confess that I'm not crazy about how the tele looks, and it was the looks that kept me indecisive with the tele for a while. BUT, it was the TONE of the tele and the variety of tones that could be coaxed out of it that kept bringing me back and finally convinced me to get one. Love your playing and the tones you bring out of your tele, as well as explaining all the cool features behind you tele!
Love it man! Some fab TOP TIPS in your video which i will now do, So thank you. I purchaed a tele 18 years ago, put it in a corner and forgot about it! Then i picked it up 2 weeks ago, de-dusted it.. new strings and now i cant put the dam thing down.. What a fool was i ? There sure is something super special about a Telecaster, Simplicity & yet so many sexy tones. .Congrats on your baby, Sounds awesome!!
I see a lucky man who has found his lifetime companion. I like your guitar, it's very energetic. I myself am lucky the same way with my 91' RG. To me a player is not complete until he finds his very own special guitar, The one that plays effortless, the one that inspires, the one that feels like holding a treasure, the one you talk to and that talks to you. One of the best things in life.
I remember back between the years 2004 through 2009. My first electric guitar was a Fernandes Nomad Deluxe. A lot of my friends kept getting on my ass to get rid of it and get a real guitar. So I went to a music store and started looking around.Spend 3 hours in the store looking for what would be the right guitar for me. I found this Squier Thin Line Telecaster for $350.00. Played it for over an hour. Loved this sound and bought it. 11 years later, it's still an awsome guitar. Soon after I bought the Tele, the Nomad went back to California where it belongs.
Hi Kris - I am proud to support your channel. Don't let the other people that make strange/weird comments deter you. (Saw that under your Q&A people) I wanted to share with you something I thought you would like; I know have two Fender Telecasters. The first one I bought in 2020 - it is the Mod Shop (not custom shop) that you can order different colors -It is in mystic seafoam green. The latest one I bought for my birthday - It is the Performer Series, now limited colors I bought the Classic White Telecaster (looks like a hint of yellow to me) I love them and also, they have the three-barrel bridge - it is really nice. I do have other guitars Gibson's, Yamaha, etc. but I liked the Telecaster so much I thought it was time for another birthday present - although GAS can be bad for musicians - LOL but we love them. Thanks again Kris.
Kris, you say it's not you or any kind of magic but the truth is... it is you as much as the guitar; the formula is you + your guitar = magic. It's not the just guitar specs. The more stories you write with your guitar, the more you rock it, the more battle scars on both you and the guitar the more magic happens... Don't ever get rid of it and keep doing what you're doing. Love your videos!
Thanks so much man! I wouldn’t go as far as to call it magic though. Haha. Let’s say my guitar + me = my sound. That would be a huge compliment already. Creating a recognizable sound is something I was always going for. 😅
I'm headed down this same path, exactly. I got a roadworn 50s tele and I fell in love with the guitar so much more than I expected that I'm thinking about a custom shop tele with similar specs.
After 15 years of playing, I finally found myself worthy of an American built telecaster. I bought a American professional, two telecaster, roasted pine you know what they say. Once you go telecaster, you never go back. Oh boy, was I wrong about the telecaster this thing is an absolute beast! Nice looking telecaster you get by the way, I can see you enjoy it!
I also got my first Tele in 2015, after a lifetime of thinking “I should probably get one some day”. A modest MiM Fender Standard. It has now become my favorite electric guitar, too.
Tells are amazing my Tele looks like danish Peet’s I bought mine secondhand and I have no idea but the body and neck are both Fender custom shop nocaster Relic body with Josefina Campos Texas special pickups. It is amazing! My skill level right now does not do my guitar justice yet lol
Ohh definitely! Andy’s tone and playing opened up my world. Before finding his music it was only shredder guitar heros for me. Then came all the tasteful players and influences. So thanks for saying that Joshua!
@@KrisBarocsi no problem! Matter of fact, I'm just hitting my Andy Timmons phase now. Loving the triads mixed in with the leads and more chordal type playing. My goal is to learn every song on Resolution and on That was then, this is now.
You are an awesome player! And that is one of the nicest Teles I’ve seen or heard. I’m building a Tele right now and may use the 50’s wiring on your recommendation, thanks!
I switched my tele to 50s wiring. It has much more clarity but it loses abit of 'gain' and 'body'. Whats the value of your capacitor? How can I get the same clarity but more 'gain'?
Well it’s “real life - playing live shows relic” so it looks different than artificial relic jobs. I don’t even think it should be called relic. More like playing wear. The only relic Fender did was thr weather checking and some minor dings. Cheers
I just got a Squier Tele and just love all the different tones you get. It had a lot of good reviews and cheaper than the Fender. No need to spend tons of money to get that awesome sound.
Kris... I may be wrong , but I think these guitars started out as white and they aged to butterscotch...we’re talking back in the 50’s...now they make them butterscotch cuz people love them...great video...I did not know you ordered that tele...great job...rock on my brother!!!!
Hi Kris. A great presentation of a beautiful guitar. Very individual and very sympathetic. Thank you🎸🎸👍😃 greetings from Germany and The Cute Urchins. 🎸
Few days ago I tested a tele in shop here in Oslo and it was this NASH telecaster looking just like the one you play there on the video. It was really something for itself! I am 60 young and have been into many guitars, yet this Nash surprised me to the bonds. Still thinking about it, by it or...but...I do not play that much any more...do some tracks in studio but no more live, so... That one sounds fantastic too!
I owned a Ibanez RG370 n used to love, then I got a MIJ Telecaster (same like the one in your video, butterscotch color). N gosh it changed my world. Best guitars EVER.
If or rather when I move back to adidas HQ Kris, I now know I simply have to bring my latest guitar in for you to play. My Dale Wilson Master Build 60’s Tele with slab board, large C neck, Josefina ‘63 PuP’s. 3 TSB Journeyman finish. I initially got it to see what the fuss about Dale Wilson was all about, knowing I could return it if it was ‘just’ another good guitar... But damn I had to pinch myself and get it independently checked with some serious local US guitar players, and they said well that’s just one of the best Tele’s we’ve ever played. Feels great to come across these gems doesn’t it. To top it off I got lucky with the amount of competition for guitar sales in the US. Not much more than the regular CS pricing. It’s a guitarists paradise over here with the flexibility both in terms of trying/returning and negotiating final purchase price. Plus I currently live in Oregon where there’s no sales tax. Happy days😊 Stay well and keep up the great content. Prost! 🍻
Great video and playing as always! I just got a Tele for the first time a fews weeks ago. An American Performer with a humbucker in the neck. Used. I haven't touched my other electrics since. I didn't expect to like it this much! So versatile.
I sometimes feel my tele bridge pickup, a no caster, sounds more like a P-90 than a classic tele bridge one. What I love is that I can get amazing overdriven and distortion sounds out of it. I sometimes even think about converting my tele into a Esquire.
@@fredriksvard2603 one of its sounds is regarded as very distinctive, the Tele twang, using the bridge pickup with the treble rolled up. That’s just one of its sounds. The neck pickup is entirely different.
Would love this to become a series. Always like hearing the stories behind gear. The one I want to hear most about is about the heavily modified Les Paul CM that made a few blink and you missed it appearances in this video. Would be nice to hear about the work you put into it and the challenges you faced. How you went about adding the pickguard and routing the new bridge pickup. And an honest opinion on if it was all worth it. Would have it been better just to grab an Epiphone "Old Glory" to get basically the same thing? Does the personalizing of it make it that much more meaningful or special to you? I guess the video kinda makes itself lol.
So you built a 50 s squier custom vibe! Every speck is the same except a little bit less gloss finish. And of course the pickups which is really up to sound you like
Kris I love that telecaster and after having to sell mine and my strat its jealousy inducing but yours has your tone undoubtedly and I love the way you play so yes for you it’s the best telecaster !
I love your videos, a lot of info and so much fun watching you knock out some incredible guitar playing. Also the owner of a Fender Custom Shop 51 Nocaster. A big fan ….Thanks Ben 🙏
I fell in love with the tele too. I bought a vintage reissue 64 that is so good I had to have a maple board sister for it so I have one of thw 70th anniversart Broadcasters on the way (not the custom shop version, too rich for my blood). Nothing else seems to be able to get that throaty bite a tele has.
I love your videos, man. I'm a Tele man as well although I'm a novice player, I adore my Player Series and CV Custom. Just hearing the sounds from your guitar is beautiful. Please put up more videos about your guitars!
Funny how I've built a smilirar-ish guitar but on a budget. Also Nocaster pickups, a cheap 1kg paulownia body (yes, a slight nosedive), a Squier paranormal C-shaped (not modern) neck w/ narrow-tall frets, and I just love and cherish it beyond words. I also used nitro lacquer but the paulownia body is so fragile it relics even without nitro hehe. I love the video and feel like a tele buddy now.
I have one made by a local luthier. Beautiful 1 piece ash body, insane flame maple neck and AAA rosewood board. Slightly hotter pups and the killer stainless steel frets. Man, oh man! It sings, it shouts, it does it all. Go have a Tele people. You WILL NOT regret it! EVER.
If hole in the beck of your Tele turned into a tunnel you can swap the neck and the hardware onto another body ;-) Great video wit a lot of paasion and I`d love to see a presentation of your other guitars.
When my 51 Nocaster arrived vom the Custom Shop was the best day in my life. There's nothing more painfull than the waiting time (it actually is over a year now for a non Master Build 😳) but it's totally worth it 👍
Nice Vid Kris! Really I’d like to see and hear you Demo and Review the HB Fusion-T HH with Trem. I’d really like you option on the Guitar. Thank Sir and Cheers from Ohio, USA.
Those pickups sound like PAFs. And similar out-of-phase qualities when blended. I generaly gravitate towards mid-60s pickups but the pickups on your guitar are just amazing.
Kris, that Tele sounds huge!!! Only thing is, think we need band videos... pictures look crazy and I need to see that action. As always, much love from Tulsa.
Thanks Eric! :) Unfortunately it's a cover rock band and I can't show any videos here on youtube without risking serious copyright issues... Welcome to youtube... duh Take care man!
indeed, it is mine as well (I use a custom made, t-shape, with G&L electronics setups). but i like my PRS sustain as well, longest sustain i ever experience. LOL.
Funny, I just came to your page to subscribe and check it out and I see the video on your Tele. Is this the same one in that video about Jim's video? That is one sweet Tele! Great playing.
I largely agree that Teles are the thing, and have a custom lightweight body myself; think it's mostly that the bridge pup has the perfect output, and combines equally well with the neck pup.The radius on the neck is also unique, and lends itself to a broad spectrum of styles, including complex chording.Having said that, I do spend more time on Strats, - both the neck and bridge, - which I prefer for clean and fuzz( which I use a lot).A Gretsch Streamliner rounds it out, custom set up with 3 P90 variants,- used for special purposes. If I had to choose, it would be a tough choice; the Strat has the most utility, even if the Tele has a more useful overall sound.I actually prefer the shorter Jaguar scale, but dont like the thinner necks; have actually been looking at Cutlass, which have the shorter , heavier necks and Fender features. Not sure I understand the extent of the relicing on the front near the bridge; must have been wearing one hell of a bracelet to dig that deep. Beautiful guitar,though.
Yes please would like vids on all your main guitars. Cheers. 👍🏻🙏🏻
You probably dont care but if you are stoned like me during the covid times then you can stream all of the new series on Instaflixxer. Have been streaming with my girlfriend for the last couple of weeks xD

Cool to see you bond with your guitar like that! 😎👍
I’ve always wanted a sunburst, but the butterscotch blonde looks so good
Cool to hear a vintage-style Tele sound so heavy. Sounds amazing.
they do it really well, the a3 50s style pickups tend to play super well with OD & distortion

A Tele is a do everything guitar.
Just subscribed to the channel!
Cheers Brian, welcome! 🤟
Great vid! 53 Tele keeps coming up on all my searches, maybe its time to get one.
That’s a sign. Just sayin 🤩
The 50s wiring mod is great and saves money buying expensive pickups - Great sounding Tele 👍
Great guitar, Kris! Congratulations. I know the feeling. I have a CS Strat that I've bonded with in the same way. Enjoy!
Love watching this guy play,u can just tell by his facial expressions he loves playing his Tele,so keep rocking dude

Love to hear about your Frankenstrat! That Tele is awesome. Your an inspiration sir. Thanks.
It’s not the tele it is the guitarist playing the tele that made it the best tele. Cheers! \m/

Really nice video on, probably the best guitar ever. it sounds beautiful and resonant and is a joy forever, thanks.
Thanks for all this videos about your Tele, i was thinking about taste one, and your way of play it really emotion me

Also Nocaster pickups, a cheap 1kg paulownia body (yes, a slight nosedive), a Squier paranormal C-shaped (not modern) neck w/ narrow-tall frets, and I just love and cherish it beyond words. I also used nitro lacquer but the paulownia body is so fragile it relics even without nitro hehe. I love the video and feel like a tele buddy now.
Yes I love that Tele, awesome sound. I also love your Frankenstein strat with the Tele pickup in the bridge & would like to know more about it
Very good video that showed how versatile the Tele is!
I have a strat but I look forward to the day when I get a tele with the same colour!
Great video, Tele is amazing! the real classic rock song
I have one made by a local luthier. Beautiful 1 piece ash body, insane flame maple neck and AAA rosewood board. Slightly hotter pups and the killer stainless steel frets. Man, oh man! It sings, it shouts, it does it all. Go have a Tele people. You WILL NOT regret it! EVER.
Finally, found yer channel. you're inspiring, man. Thanks a lot....
Much appreciated man, welcome! 💪
thank you my friend, the tele tonality is amazing
Thank you!
If hole in the beck of your Tele turned into a tunnel you can swap the neck and the hardware onto another body ;-) Great video wit a lot of paasion and I`d love to see a presentation of your other guitars.
Man those NoCaster pickups are great. So versatile
Yeah man they really are. So much midrange and warmth. Great open tone but never ice picky.
When my 51 Nocaster arrived vom the Custom Shop was the best day in my life. There's nothing more painfull than the waiting time (it actually is over a year now for a non Master Build 😳) but it's totally worth it 👍
the sound I want is at 5:55. How does it happen???
Nice Vid Kris! Really I’d like to see and hear you Demo and Review the HB Fusion-T HH with Trem. I’d really like you option on the Guitar. Thank Sir and Cheers from Ohio, USA.
Those pickups sound like PAFs. And similar out-of-phase qualities when blended. I generaly gravitate towards mid-60s pickups but the pickups on your guitar are just amazing.
Thanks man! Yeah I love the midrange of these pus. This tele never sounds thin, the Nocaster pickups are 🔥
Kris, that Tele sounds huge!!! Only thing is, think we need band videos... pictures look crazy and I need to see that action. As always, much love from Tulsa.
Thanks Eric! :) Unfortunately it's a cover rock band and I can't show any videos here on youtube without risking serious copyright issues... Welcome to youtube... duh
Take care man!
Kris Barocsi well then maybe I’ll have to make the trip to Europe... when we are allowed to travel there again from the US. Rock on man!!
indeed, it is mine as well (I use a custom made, t-shape, with G&L electronics setups). but i like my PRS sustain as well, longest sustain i ever experience. LOL.
Great video man! Hey, has anybody ever said you look kinda like Rob Schneider from the Deuce Bigalow movies?
Yes Please! I would love a series of u presenting ur guitars
Lovely video Kris. Thanks
An eternal partner in studio and jams.
That thing is awesome I could never get the sound I wanted out of a fender I love to hear them just not me playing one. Haha great video 2thumbs up
Wow 😲 I really enjoyed this video that guitar sounds great! great! .
I love your style of playing, sounds great
Funny, I just came to your page to subscribe and check it out and I see the video on your Tele. Is this the same one in that video about Jim's video? That is one sweet Tele! Great playing.
Un altro gran bel video... Vieni voglia di comprare una tele.... Anche se suonata da te è un altra cosa😉
Great tone, great look and you play it very well.
That guitar is F’ing Gorgeous!!!!! I love the tone of this guitar!!
awesome guitar, and great play.. i liked the opening riff
I largely agree that Teles are the thing, and have a custom lightweight body myself; think it's mostly that the bridge pup has the perfect output, and combines equally well with the neck pup.The radius on the neck is also unique, and lends itself to a broad spectrum of styles, including complex chording.Having said that, I do spend more time on Strats, - both the neck and bridge, - which I prefer for clean and fuzz( which I use a lot).A Gretsch Streamliner rounds it out, custom set up with 3 P90 variants,- used for special purposes.
If I had to choose, it would be a tough choice; the Strat has the most utility, even if the Tele has a more useful overall sound.I actually prefer the shorter Jaguar scale, but dont like the thinner necks; have actually been looking at Cutlass, which have the shorter , heavier necks and Fender features.
Not sure I understand the extent of the relicing on the front near the bridge; must have been wearing one hell of a bracelet to dig that deep.
Beautiful guitar,though.
