- In this episode we are going to review a new line of Fender Guitars - American Vintage II Telecaster 1963. This model features all best the Telecaster had in 1960s era.
We are going to check the specs of the guitar, accessories and of course we are sound checking it.
Finally, someone who can strum!!!! Thank you, I love how you play. I get tired of blues runs all the time. Nice guitar, by the way.
Thank you very much for the feedback! It feels so easier to carry on with music when realise someone likes what you are doing! Good luck!
I have the crimson transparent version. Really nice tele. The only thing is the clay dot sidemarkers are really hard to see . At night it is worse
Agreed. I’m tempted to blacken them in.
Beautiful guitar and congrats! I own one myself. Little bit lighter rosewood on mine, but really nice grain pattern. One of the best neck pickups I've ever played on a telecaster. In the process of adding a mint green pickguard and a fresh set of strings. Cheers!
I am happy to share the feeling of owning this fine instrument! Shine some music with it, it deserves to be played and seen!
The ashtray is basically to rest your hand on while playing. I have the same guitar in crimson red. You have to squeeze the ashtray to make it fit. Extremely nice guitar.
@@Hundenminhelmer yes, you are right, a little bit of squeezing helped the ash tray bite and hold on the bridge.
Beautiful guitar. Congratulations. Thanks for the review
Thank you very much! I cannot put it down, it plays so beautiful that it makes me want to play more.
cool review! have the same guitar and I like it a lot ...also have the vintage II 61 strat in 3tsb ...like the vintage II series, fender did a great job😊
Coming back to this one. I'm really happy you made this video. I was wondering if the neck on mine was consistent with others of this same model. It looks like mine and yours, starts to get pretty thin around the first and second fret in terms of thickness of the neck. It has some nice chunk to it and then when you get to about the second fret to the first, it gets somewhat thin and then it goes into the headstock. It's just nice to see that mine is carved the same. I assume that's how the 63 necks were. Somewhat unique you could say. Cheers!
nice playing, beautiful guitar
Thanks mate!
The neck pickup sounds great. Did ever get to hear the bridge pickup? Btw, I just bought one this color. Can't wait till it arrives.
Congratulations on this purchase! You won’t regret it, it plays fantastic!
Fender should have used tiny Earth Magnets to hold the bridge cover in place. By the way, congratulations, she is BEAUTIFUL. I’m thinking of ordering one and the same color.
thank you! Yes, get one yourself, it is quite a pleasant guitar to play.
@@GuitarPalms Just ordered mine, cant wait for it to arrive, I am stoked!
@@MARKLINMAN1 How are you getting on with your new tele?
Don't worry if the bridge cover (ashtray) falls off, just stick a bit of tape on the inside either side of the cover to keep it in place ( if you use it).
Fantastic sound and colour, did they stop giving straps and cables with new Fender Guitars?
Not s single included strap in this model.
for 3K+ it better be something special
You could buy cheaper same model on the market, but for collectors it is worth buying it.
@@GuitarPalms you could always buy cheaper somewhere, but that's not the point. I also have Fender & Gibson guitars well over 3K+. The point is that for this price there is no excuse for it not to be set up perfectly for any player. It doesn't have much collector value, because it's a 2024 reproduction, not an original '63. It's an excellent player guitar that may slowly rise in value over the next 50yrs. By then it'll be worth 700 to 1000 dollars more than you paid for it depending on the market then
It is, Ya get what ya pay for. Its only $2300 and worth every penny.
Very cool I'm happy for you
Thanks! Get one for you too, you deserve it!
@@GuitarPalms if my wife found it along with the receipt I'll be living in my car lol
@@billkelly9890 it will be alright;-)
Song in the end?
Just wish they did a white version
True statement.
A high quality instrument and great demo.
I appreciate your comment.
what amp are you using here? Thank you!
Thank you for the question. The amp is Imperial King MKII, but this is not a physical amp, this is a digital stand alone software, the sound is atmospheric, deep and it has lots of other options to offer like effect pedals, microphones etc.
Having to unscrew the neck to adjust the truss rod is a no for me. The only part of vintage Fender I don’t like. Other than that, a nice guitar and nice playing.
You only have to take off the pickguard if you get the right screwdriver from stew Mac
Waiting on a review of the red mahogany version. It’s been almost two years since these came out? 🤣
Yeah, that's true on the date of production !But I just got to know about it, looks like the internet speed is dead slow at my end :-). I'll try to review the mahogany one as well. Thanks for watching, stay tuned!
@@GuitarPalms looks like most reviewers skipped over this series. Especially the mahogany 63 tele. I’m assuming hard to get their hands on it.
@@SergioFigaroa it's a a challenge for me now, we will try to capture the mahogany Tele.
@@SergioFigaroaI’ve played both, but not at the same time, so can’t make any sort of in-depth comparison.
However they are very similar, if not pretty much identical, I bought the Surf Green because I love the look of it. If the Crimson Red is your thing, go for it.
@@3rdStoreyChemist I wanted a candy apple red one, but the crimson see through is growing on me.
Where’s the Allen wrench?
There was no the Allen wrench in the case for neither the truss rod, nor the saddles screws.
Why can't the bridge completely cover the bridge pickup route for crying out loud?
I also noticed a tiny gap showing up and I don't know why it's there .Checked other Telecaster pictures of the same model to find exact same similarities. But some other Telecasters don't have it.
@@GuitarPalms it's a tele thing, not really a big deal just me being a perfectionist. As long as it sounds good and plays good I probably wouldn't mind too much. However, if I was a guitar builder I wouldn't send one out like that.
I think you are apologising farctoo much for poor fender quality control and set up,
sound like digital tone not really amplifier.
This is indeed a digital sound, this is a tube amp simulator, tone king imperial
Pour le prix même pas une sangle,médiator, c’est déconné ?
Si nous parlons d’un bon bracelet en cuir, il vaudra entre 50 et 60 dollars supplémentaires.
Typical american video. 90% talk, 10% playing :-)
