Alex, I love your channel because you are the one that gives us a reason to do what makes us happy and inspired. Not go out and buy gear because we have to have everything. Keep the videos coming; always great content. Way to use your imagination on more recent videos.
A year later....impulsively picked up a Squier CV50s....added tuners that worked, brass comp'd saddles, and some Fralin Blues Special....play it daily...while other 20+ guitars hanging around mumble under their collective breaths. Want to get a Fender Pro II just to see how it compares. My FGN Iliad is nice with SDs....but doesn't resonate with me like the CV Tele now does. Nice vid...great tone! Now wanna try Lollars....
That's darn near the exact build I have been wanting to do. Love that roasted flame maple neck. Sounds great, the guitar and your playing, both sound great.
That would be cool! I honestly think you can't go wrong with any lollar single coils. Have yet to try their humbuckers but I have heard good things. Let me know what you get!
It’s a unique guitar and priceless to that extent! Looks and sounds great - the Gotoh bridge is what I’ve used for my partscaster Tele and I suspect the sustain owes much to it.
Thank you! And you’re right. Can’t part with this one now as I’ve put too much time and energy into it! Also it sounds great now haha. Love the gotoh bridge!
I have Lollar '52's in a Fender cs Tele that I installed with the 4 way switch from Lollar. I hear kind of a P90 sound out of that extra series setting def a bump in volume and just a bit more. Nice Tele well done!
I commented 4 weeks ago, and today I just received my Special T & Royal T combo. I had no idea what to get for my tele and your video sold me these pickups. I hope Lollar sees this. 👍
I was interested to see the Lollar Special T, because I'm thinking about swapping my current bridge pickup for one. I built a body, got a Warmoth neck (modern construction) with the 10-16" compound radius and the vintage style bridge pickup that I had with the staggered pole pieces just doesn't work very well, so I searched around the net for replacements with flat pole pieces and I must say the Special T sounds really good. I'd probably get the same neck pickup, but this build has a mini-humbucker (some generic 'tron style), which sounds pretty good as is. I did some crazy wiring, because why not. I did the four way switch, but I also have a tap to switch the mini-humbucker to single-coil, and... a push-pull to for phase. Do I need all that? Probably not, but it doesn't affect anything when it's all switched to normal. Mine is a surf green with a parchment pickguard that is engraved with "atoms" in copper, but I really like yours. Looks very "Keef".
Put a 4-way on a MIM tele a few years back...hmmm,...sold it. Then repeated it late last year on my G&L ASAT Classic Tele when I had to replace the infamous input jack....nice warm tone from the MFDs. Keeper.
Very cool! If I ever get a tele, I want a fat neck but maybe a touch thinner than the early 50s baseball bat U and I would definitely put Lollars in it, probably Special T's but I'm not 100% decided - the Sixty Four set in my strat and Imperials in my Les Paul are really killer and balance well.
My buddy recently got a 100/50 watt Sebago “Double Trouble” head. Solid as a tank! Believe it was under 4k new. Runs it clean and stacks several different boost/gain pedals. Very versatile and billed as a Dumble clone. Imho it exceeded expectations! 🤷♂️
@@SuperdangerStudios one has Texas Specials and the other has Gen 4 (Gen 5? Whatever the latest Gen) Fender Noiseless. I’m a sucker for noiseless now, but your setup was very quiet.
Wow, that is one nice guitar! All parts are awesome on their own, but you've managed to combine them well! One question about the neck tho: Did you get any finishes and if so, which one? I've been thinking about upgrading to a roasted flame maple neck too, but the color of the wood looks weird on the warmoth demo. Thanks in advance!
Thanks for the kind words! As for my neck I got a flamed maple roasted with no finish. Feels great and is really easy to play. Haven’t used this one on stage yet so not sure how it’ll handle sweat.
Thanks so much for watching! Never tried a LP special but I love the sound of em. And yeah the neck pickup on this Tele is so great. Probably my favorite pickup on all my guitars.
@@SuperdangerStudios I might get this pickup for my tele after watching your video! Les Paul specials are very close to a tele. I recently picked up an inexpensive Epiphone one (inspired by Gibson) and after 20 years of being a telecaster guy and not being able to like a regular LP, It has become my favourite guitar. Try one, you'll love them. The middle position is amazing and the neck is like a nocaster neck: so chunky! If you find a used Epiphone, try one, they're so cheap and so good!
Quick question on your use of BBE - you're the only guy on CZcams I've seen using them (your sound is great btw). Any opinion on their stuff? I have a couple of BBE pedals that I use.
Hi Joel! Sorry for the delay. I love the BBE pedals. Josh from JHS does a great roundup of them on his channel. Although it looks like he loves all pedals so I am not surprised haha. I have the boost, the sonic maximizer, and the crusher, which is nearly identical to the old marshall bluesbreaker pedal. I think they are great for a certain sound, like all pedals, some have their uses but rarely are they an always on pedal. The only one that comes close to that is the origin effects cali76 and the xotic ep booster. The sonic maximizer is great for cleaning up muddy pedals in lieu of an eq pedal. The boosta is great for tons of clean boost, either to drive a pedal or an amp. The crusher has a very specific sound and is fun to play but it rarely sees the stage or the recording phase. Which BBE pedals do you have? Cheers dude!
It is a 2010 Nash T63 telecaster. Daphne blue, medium relic. Rosewood fretboard , Lollars, chunky neck. It’s kind of a beefed up, hotter version of my Fender player tele (Mexi).
Hey there, very nice telecaster... I'm digging into the teleworld at the moment, trying to find out answers to my questions. I like to ask you about the 4-way switch, what are the 4 different positions for? Neck - Neck and Bridge - Bridge and then??? :-) Best regards - Martin from Denmark.
Hi Martin, thanks for the kind words. I wired this guitar for neck, bridge, neck and bridge in parallel, then neck and bridge in series which acts like a faux Humbucker. It’s a much darker sound but can be great for solos/leads bc it bumps up the volume by 2-3dbs.
Hi David! Here are the specs: Vintage Modern, 25.5 scale, Roasted Flame Maple neck and fingerboard, 1-11/16 Nut width, Standard thin back shape, SS6105 Stainless steel frets, Gotoh 13/32 tuner ream, 10-16” compound radius, 21 frets, Graphtech White TUSQ XL Standard nut.
Exact pickup setup I'm thinking of getting. This or the Twisted Tele. Glad you included series. Sounds great.
@@victorbennett5414 they are great pickups man. My go to guitar for years now
Telecasters are so damn versatile. Great tones and great playing.
Thank you! I love teles. Chameleonesque. Can fit in any musical scenario without a hitch. Cheers!

You rock! Thank you my man. More to come for sure.
Best Tele I've ever heard. Nice demo & great licks
Thanks so much! I love this guitar and will take it to my grave with me haha.
@@SuperdangerStudios And so you should. It’s a beauty…
Inspired me to look at my own and see what I can do.
Cheers🍻
Great video all around. Excellent playing and tones. Cool guitar. High quality video. Well done, brother!

So rad to hear. I’m gonna try their cabronita baritone Tele!
@@SuperdangerStudios I got my son the CV60's Baritone a few months ago...$299 on sale...he loves it.
That's darn near the exact build I have been wanting to do. Love that roasted flame maple neck. Sounds great, the guitar and your playing, both sound great.
Hey Phil, thanks for the kind words! Its a great neck, so easy to play. What pickups were you thinking of putting in your partscaster?
@@SuperdangerStudios I was going to go with the Fralin stock tele pickups, but the Lollars sound amazing, I may have to rethink it
Nice thinking about a special T in the bridge and a vintage lollar in the neck but that royal t sounds awesome as well
That would be cool! I honestly think you can't go wrong with any lollar single coils. Have yet to try their humbuckers but I have heard good things. Let me know what you get!
Great video! The Royal T sounds like the perfect combination of a strat and tele neck pickup 🤩
It sounds so good. Def my favorite! Thanks for watching! -Alex
Wow, nice sounding tele. I was planning to buy the twisted pups, but this might have convinced me.
I love these lollars. They sound exactly how I want them to!
Fantastic demo, your playing is amazing
Thank you, Anna! Happy New year!

Excellent! They are an amazing combo. How do you like em?
@@SuperdangerStudios they are absolutely amazing!
My dream telecaster too!
Haha right on
Nice build: sounds great, looks good - particularly the flamed roasted maple neck - kudos !
Thanks Rene! It came out better than expected and I play it every day. Cheers!
Looks great. Sounds great. Thanks for sharing! 😃👍🏻
Thanks for posting want to pair Warmoth neck /body with the right bridge , Gotoh is nice 🙂
It came out great but I probably would get shorter nickel frets next time. Realizing I like vintage frets better now.

how does the neck compare with your suhr tele?

Thank you!
If you were buying your first T-style on a budget of around a Mexican Fender, what would you buy? Fender, Schecter, G&L, something else?
Hmm great question! This sounds like a video idea!
@@SuperdangerStudios I have no shortage of video ideas :) Great work!
Awesome dude 👍
Glad you liked it!
Sounds great! I just bought a Nash Tele with Lollars. Is that “I’m gonna find another you” by John Mayer around 7:12 ?
Haha yes great ear I was pulling some of the chords from that track for sure. Cheers!
Forgot to ask, which Nash did you end up getting?
It is a 2010 Nash T63 telecaster. Daphne blue, medium relic. Rosewood fretboard , Lollars, chunky neck. It’s kind of a beefed up, hotter version of my Fender player tele (Mexi).
Danger what’s up man!
Bro!! How you been? We’re doing great in Tennessee now.
This is great!
You are great
What cost? Compared to cudtom shop prices. Building is always going to be the cheapest way to go.
That’s true!
Nice guitar. A set of Dimarzio Area T pickups would have been a better choice.
Thanks man. Never played those. Do they sound different than the pickups I installed?
@@SuperdangerStudios They sound like classic Strat single coils without the hum.

I have never adapted my playing to the guitar I adapt the guitar to my playing
Interesting. Different tools make me change my approach in many ways. But that’s just me!
@@SuperdangerStudios yeah I get that. The biggest thing I do is scallop the neck which I've been doing for 45 years.
