20 years ago I went out to buy a Fender tele and came back with a G&L ASAT Classic. Glad I did. Great guitar 👍🍷

Not necessarily a "Fender Telecaster" alternative, but my Squier Classic Vibe 50"s Tele is on point for half the price of other tele's.

I still say you need to check out the Godin Radium. Tele body, Les Paul scale, HSH configuration, and has a TUSQ nut for extra Canadian content. Like you I’m a Tele guy and this has quickly become my favourite to play.

My butterscotch blonde affinity with a 4 way and Tex mex serves me well. Sure the mods were a hassle but doing on a day off made it part of me. Put the work in and enjoy.

I’ve been wanting to get my hands on a Schecter PT for some time. But the last thing I need right now is another guitar. That purple burst with the raw finish looks fantastic.

I've got a Godin Stadium '59 guitar which is a T-style guitar with a Seymour Duncan "59 humbucker in the neck. It's a really nice, well made guitar but there is something about it that I don't like but I didn't notice it before I bought it. The way the controls are laid out you actually have to reach over the volume knob to get to the pickup switch and I think this is a poor design that could have been so easily avoided. It really does seem awkward until you get used to it. They also could have added a coilsplit to the humbucker to get a single coil sound in the neck but that could be added later.

I own a "reverend Pete Anderson eastsider T" and i absolutly love it. My choice from the three featured models would be the G&L

i've got a Schecter PT Fastback IIB, it's their take on a bigsby tele deluxe and can only say nice things about it. does everything i could want and looks cool as hell.

Just discovered your podcast a few days ago. Love it. I am a 74 year old guitar newbie.

[shroompicn-shrooman]

I'd love one I these... I do own a Seagull S6 Cherry body with a Cedar top . It is the first run of these with the old logo on the headstock and the LR Baggs electronics... it's been a faithful axe for almost 20 years..
Great video ✌🍄👍

Played the others but what gets loaded on the bus is a Fender Custom Red Mahogany twisted Tele and a Player Plus Nashville with maple fretboard. The others for various reasons for me did not make the cut. For S styles a Fender 60’s Custom I picked up used and a PRS Silver Sky are all I need. On the Teles it is not one thing that keeps me going back to Fender just a whole host of things combined, just feel right.

[DanLacroix]

my favourite tele variation has a double cut, 3 single coils (or a hot rails on the bridge), 1 volume and 2 tone controls, a 5-way switch and a trem that I never use. best tele ever

[craigvb]

I highly recommend the Shi Jie TVL model. It is a faithful representation of the Fender Telecaster with a bit of a custom-shop vibe to it. I love my TVL and STE (strat model.) They are worth every penny.

[CharlesN]

Would love to check these out. Love Teles.

[trailingupwards]

I got a Sire T7. The neck is amazing. It's a great modding platform. The neck looks great, and the body looks pretty good. Throw some new hardware and electronics in it and you got a custom shop level telecaster for $1000.

[ZitherBeast]

I recently got a custom made Tele style guitar from a little company in Colorado and it's freaking sweet. Birds eye maple neck with an Ebony fretboard, I'm really digging it.

[christopherschlacter]

I know its a bit weird, but I cant get past those odd headstocks.

[Sammywhat]

Just purchased a new left-handed Fender Am Pro II. The slinkiest feeling guitar I've ever played! Got to admit that Schecter is really wild! Would LOVE to see you check out a Larrivée Baker T. They're up in your neck of the woods... Any love for Larrivée?? Thanks for the great content, Landon!! 🙏

[shaunw]

Of all the Tele inspired guitars currently around, I would like to try the latest Reverend Greg Koch model or the original Gristlemaster 👍

[arustydodge]

That Schecter PT Special is Fantastic ! My favorite of the group. Set up perfect straight outta the box!
