Dan's Tele is the reason why I'm obsessed with red guitars

[Balancerd]

The more videos from this channel the better

I can't help but be impressed every time Dan uses that Telecaster. It sounds SO good!! Even the guests comment on how good it sounds.

[joebiondo]

This is my favorite guitar on TPS. the best part is how much Daniel enjoys playing it!

[danielstevens]

That's one beautiful sounding Tele.

[LBRSpeed]

Man, that beaming smile on your face says it all. Glad you found your 6-string soulmate!

This show is directly responsible for my recent letting go of my dream Les Paul for a nitro wine red Tele and a 100 watt hand-wired valve head and 4x12. The Les Paul was the guitar I finally bought for myself that I would never, under any circumstances, sell or worse, trade. I'm very happy. my wife understanding and long-suffering. Thanks guys for being great enablers. My regret for not keeping the Lester is outweighed by my Tele-induced joy. My neighbours, and I live in a block of apartments, do not necessarily share my joy. 🤘🏻🎸

gotta love when you get some bonus pre-Friday tones. That is a magical instrument

[chrisbrown]

This is the guitar that convinced me to get off the fence and finally get a tele.

Hi Dan! I came from the Strat world and discovered the Telecaster when I purchased a cheap Road worn from early 2000’s. This blew my mind. Few weeks ago I watched your videos on this subject and fell in love with this ‘01 CS relic ‘63 you have and its pure power. Today, after some search I entered a shop here in Paris and, after trying few of those early 00’s CS, I came the holy grail which, just like yours, is giving that same kind of huge power and sound: pure beast. It is a ‘05 CS light relic ‘63 Tele surf green matching color for the head. A beauty and a beast at the same time. Thanks again for making those helpful videos.

When I first heard your heavy tones using this tele, I thought it had to be a hot rails or something heavy in the bridge pos, after finding out it was a stock Fender custom shop single coil, I broke out all my cheap strats, squires and stuff..and tried to get a good metal tone using a squire.. the clarity and cut was amazing, even better than my vintage LP,
I LOVE that heavy, single coils sound in the bridge..a TS9 is all I need,
Thanx for the inspiration!

I don't even consider myself a Tele guy, but when I regularly watch TPS, pretty much all I can think about is that I covet Dan's Telecaster.

[InatorCorp]

Nice to hear the little love story that comes with this instrument. I've admired this Tele for a while.

[daltonpeters]

I have a tele that I went into guitar center and played it for a couple chords and just fell in love with it now I love it more than anything

[Spuzzmacher]

After 25 years of thinking tele’s were country guitars, Dan and Red convinced me to give my Strat to my niece and get a G&L asat custom. …though, I did squeeze an emg DG20 into it, to quiet the copious EM noise here (and be able to dip into humbucker territory when I need it). Thanks Dan!

Got a 63 vintage tele In crimson red today 🎉

[rottalmusik]

I always smile, when you play this incredible guitar 😍😀😎

[brianneal]

Beautiful sound out of that guitar, and on an unrelated note, I have to thank you for demoing a Telecaster, and not immediately going to country licks :) Really enjoy the show, and I have been hoping you and Mick would do this kind of video.

I share your lust for a Tele Dan... Spent the last few months searching. Finally committed to a '95 American Standard in Sunburst with a Rosewood board. I'm positively frothing over it!
