SOLI DEO GLORIA!

[BarriePoole]

Been buying Guitarfetish stuff for over 10 years. They have great stuff. Do it yourself and do it right, will go up against any over priced brand named equipment.

[seanb]

I've always wanted a tele. Might try this, thanks Darrell

[Steven_SK]

Guitarfetish is a go to for me. I see they used this in a post today. They should put together a DBG kit for us fans of you both.

[bluejeezy]

Never get rid of the last scene from your intro, the one where you fall in the snow, it's awesome

[benjaminfowler]

I thought teles were hideous old school guitars for years but now I have an esquire coming in the mail and i see the beauty in the simplicity, can't wait!!

[Madchris]

Your channel has made me have an appreciation for telecasters. Used to think they were ugly and just not worth it. Now I think they are actually really neat.

Also your enthusiasm for guitars is infectious!

[Daniel-sljq]

I’m not allowed to buy another guitar... but build one? ;)

[diegowong]

A friend of mine has finally decided for a Tele and you begin the year with the greatest quote for him. Keep up the good work!

[RCSmiths]

Great way to start off the year in building! So cost and quality effective I believe!

[Rollermanfromspace]

You have no idea how long I've been waiting for this! A quality youtuber reviewing a GFS that's never been better. With their "pro" line of guitars and the new XGP line of parts GFS is stepping up their game and I'm glad you've taken the time to broadcast it

[strummerman]

I've been wanting to build a tele for 20+ years, still haven't got around to it yet.
I look forward to the next video :)

I had my first Squier Strat years ago, ( I do mean years ago). which I bought used from Walter Ostanek’s music store in Niagara. I took lessons from his hired staff. Walter is Canada’s polka king. His son Ric ran the shop for years and had Long & McQuade come in, which removed the Ostanek name from the storefront

I had the guitar for a while, just taking the odd tab books to learn how to play songs. I moved around a few places, and it disappeared. Taken / stolen. I also had a flute and played the Pogues and Supertramp. I was better at that instrument.

So now.. married years later in Ottawa, with a family and with Covid going on, a lot of people including me, are getting back into hobbies, crafts and interests.

I came across your channel which is showing me options and learning in more detail how guitars work and how each pickup can really determine the sound and output of an instrument. You are also introducing people to cheaper alternatives which are more budget friendly and alternative companies other than Fender and Gibson. You also explain why the higher end guitars are more reliable and why people buy them. ( Even though they’re overpriced and you end up paying for the name or brand). But they are what they are.

If I were to pick up a budget guitar now, I’d be looking at a Harley Benton, Schecter, or Xaviere.

Guitar Fetish sells Xaviere guitars. It’s their brand. Your videos have also shown pickup systems that can be swapped in and out which can make a guitar very versatile. I clicked on a few links for the parts. Lots of choices for the build and give an instrument a unique look and sound.

Learning a lot from your channel. It’s so important to have people like you on line for those who want to learn, or those that are so detailed they want to build or rebuild instruments.

Im going with the candy apple red with gold hardwear. Im also putting the rail pups in both neck and bridge

[Baci]

I legit got excited when the neck fit the body. So clean too.

[manolosantana]

This time last year I saw your build of the LP style Solo Music kit and decided to try this myself, although I had no wood working experience at all. What a great adventure with a fantastic outcome! Since then I worked up all my guitars and for this year I even plan a build from scratch. Thanks again for this literally life changing incitation! Hence, I am looking forward for this build and hope, it will inspire many people to try such a build.

[nicolamontoro]

Let’s build it! Can’t wait! I love gfs. Built at least 3 guitars and modified all my squiers with their pickups .

[wingdwolf]

Happy New Year! I didn’t start the year with a budget Tele. I started with a Fender Professional ll Deluxe Tele and OMG is it incredible! But, I enjoy these build videos so much, I may talk myself into trying one!! (Unless you wanna sell me that one!)

[jimm]

Once you add the price of all the parts together, you’ll be paying about the same as buying a new Squier. That being said, the advantages of a build like this is that you’ve got more choices, it’s easy and fun to do.

[olegraeber]

Teles are so simple and still so perfect

[AllTheCoolNamesAreTaken]

Just got my Tele build kit from GF yesterday and I can’t wait to get started on it!
