Hearing SRV made me smile uncontrollably

Almost everything....

I'd barely even call mine a collection.

Explorer🙃

It would be easier to ask what’s not missing from my collection

I was shocked hahah

Did it for the sake of the comparison...pretty genius, actually...

Mastermind

Duh

If he'd have bought a squire or other budget brand to compare that might be tacky. But a 3000 dollar Fender is perfect. Doesnt compete with the Donner pricewise and gives a true tone comparison with the guitar Donner is copying.

theres gotta be a song or band named “Science”

60% of the time it works, every time

@@MusicisWin what about the suhr guitar, isnt that a tele. oop wait nm u already explaind it.

I see you are a man of culture by your profile pic

@@saturn5087 One X is my favorite album bro, thx

His collection is serious business.

Checks out lol

I just washed my hands. He's creepy.

@@c.p.1589 what he do?

@@shadyacr Played his Telecaster probably.

Donner sounds like a toy guitar

I liked the brighter bridge pickup

@@herewegoagain7403 not really? just a brighter sound

Duh .... We should be comparing G&L and fender, not Donner what the f***

@@jimhalpert7660 donner sounds like shit 😂😂

I dunno, for the price of a used tele, he just showed that Donner's Guitars can stand up against Fender and hold their own. Not bad value for Donner! 🤣

@@cubistfunk Yeah exactly. I don't necessarily believe that the Donner is truly comparable, it's a great marketing movie.

@@cubistfunk How about the quality of the parts? How often will it go out of tune? I would save a little more money and go with the Squire classic Vibe Tele's or a use MIM Tele but that is just my opinion. I also say any guitar is better than no guitar and I would never down anyone for their gear.

Facts, I've picked it up after months in the corner drove to my buddies house plugged in and only thing I had to do was bring that damn g string up a quarter tone.

Seems legit

Would I be wrong to say the Gibson equivalent would be a Les Paul Junior? Just crunchy business on the bridge and thats it lol

Mine is FRIENDLY❤️ Never gives me issues. Helps when you suck, to have a guitar that don’t!

@@jcheever37 what's up with that g string, anyway. I guess it's the one we always bend more than the rest, but there seems to be something more to it than that considering it seems to be a quarter tone flat when I'll first pick up my tele, but I never notice it being flat when I put the tele down. I'm going to have to do an experiment where I make sure to tune it before I put it back in its case and see what happens when I pick it back up.

Even I put together a Warmoth tele early on and I hated Teles back then. I have two now 🤘

He does now, so we're all saved!! :)

That's because PRS doesn't make one.

He does though… The green Suhr

Poor little rich boy! What ever shall Tylie do? Cry like a lost 7yr old girl? Tele's are the least of his worries... colossal ego the size of 'Zilla fighting Kong in a deathmatch needing downsizing urgently first & foremost I'd offer. Why have 34,793 guitars ffsakes? You can only play 1 at a time... gas is crass.

does him speccing out and choosing the wood for the private stock prs with paul himself count?

@@kennethdon3619 nope

This could be fun to watch, plus the US is great for buying kits. We just don't have the same choice this side of the pond

A frankenstrat

It would be interesting to see for sure! I will be doing a series next month building a guitar on my channel MusicAndWood.

A wet fart would sound just as nice through that kind of rig and editing X)

Right?! Sounds incredible...

I don't want to criticize the brand or Tyler, but he has probably connected it to so many pedals, plugins and done so much editing that any guitar sounds better that if you just plugged it straight in to an amp

For the jam: All guitars are using the same processing-same amp, no pedals, a little reverb for ambience and some EQ to sit in the mix. For the back to back tones, each guitar is dry into the same amp with a little verb.

@@MusicisWin thank you for clarifying! Most people assume that its the guitar itself that gives most if the tone, but once its intonated right, any guitar sounds good with a good rig, and any guitar can sound bad with a bad rig.

Same

Same tbh. The hotel california live 🤘

@@sidiox7857 I got into it when I saw life in the fast lane

Kinda same-ish. I use strat and a lp, but Jim Root's tele made me start.

@@sidiox7857 exactly the one that made me start playing guitar

You're not wrong! I worked in a high-end Nashville guitar store, and for one thing you get really used to celebrity-owned instruments, but also you don't want to name drop and risk sounding like a used car salesman.

@@Ironworthstriking That certainly makes sense. Thanks for the perspective.

I’m 100% with you bro!!!

Most underrated guitar

o just got one custom made it weighs like 3 pounds nevk sits exactly like i want its built to look like Albert King’s Lucy and indeed it does just no name on the fretboard and pointed headstock like the 58 he used to play

make it reverse for old Sammy G

Was just saying the exact thing

Yusssss!! Gotta own one.

I was a strat guy for years and years,, until I got my hands on a tele,,, been a tele guy ever since! Enjoy your tele my friend!!!

I’m thinking of adding one now after this and similar YT videos. How happy are you with your Donner a full year later?

And Perry Ferrell helped Tyler get it ready to go.

Some of the reissues built in the 90's were really good and quite accommodating with neck profiles. If you ever see one in a shop (usually a 60 or 70 something Reissue, think they may have had quilted tops too if memory serves?) Grab it and have a go. They're a bit of a hidden gem.

I know, it slaps you right in the face when you hear it after the donners

I tried several ones but unfortunately it isn't for me. I just can't play 21/22 fret guitars anymore, turns out the 2 extra frets on my 24-fret Ibanez aren't as useless as I thought they were. Also wasn't a big fan of the neck profile.

@@ElShogoso ibanez and Jackson fans never can get with traditional guitars 😭

Good reminder

Still got it! Just felt like more of a specialized guitar for this video

@@MusicisWin whatever you had to tell bethany huh😭

@@ianleonard3264 haha 😂

My guitar teacher has the exact same one.

So those thinlines of Donner are almost a best kept secret?

Yep, there is a difference in sound. I also slightly prefer the Butterscotch, but it really is not that huge a difference. If we listened to the solid body Donner in a live situation or recording without knowing it was the Donner, it would sound just fine. I did not like the muddy tone of the Donner thinline humbuckers personally, but though the solid body sounded pretty good. The real difference (apart from just the premium price for the brand and the cheaper labor in China versus the US) lies mainly in the quality of wood, metal and engineering/manufacturing. Any guitar in the same price class as the Donner, when compared to the Fender, will have cheaper materials and less rigorous QA in the electronics and pickups - the frets are likely to wear a bit quicker because of using a cheaper nickel alloy, the tuning keys will be a bit hit and miss because the gears won't be as precise, time, the nut slots are probably not precision filed from the factory, and the body and neck are likely to be made of less expensive wood or of more pieces of wood, or the neck may not be quartersawn, since all those things allow cost cutting. But all that said, it is still true that if you give a cheap guitar a professional setup and maybe swap out some parts if absolutely necessary, the playing experience can be as good as a way more expensive guitar, or even better for you personally, if the expensive guitar happens to have a neck profile or pickups you don't get along with.

@@meadish Agree. There's definitely a difference but it's subtle.

@@meadish I didn't care for the Donner sounded in the Neck position.

He has one...

@@cadendieck89 but it's from 4 years ago

Hang tag?

Oh and I really need a Flying V.

I thought Nelson Mandela said it , thank you for the clarification!

I though it was obama that said that

It was Mother Teresa

I thought Mother Tersea said it.😀

Wasn't that Genghis Khan?

*Les Paul has entered the chat*

Model, not brand.

Don't worry. They'll make one soon enough and it'll be marketed like is some sort of awesome original creation but will just be yet another PRS ripoff. You know, their typical M.O.

Let me test that

Don't, the frets will sharp and rough, tuners rubbish and build quality generally poor. At least save for a squier classic vibe

@@olliethompson9252 i played a donner lp was comfortable tuners weren't great but still cheaper to upgrade tuners and pickups

I thought the Suhr was a very easy winner in the thinline comparison - I didn't like the Donner thinline at all - way too dark and indistinct for my liking, whereas the Suhr had a nice, more open and dynamic vintage PAF tone that balanced out the thinline nicely. As for the solid bodies, the butterscotch Fender did sound a little better (apart from the rounder tone, it had some resonant frequencies I liked that seemed to make it 'sing' a bit more), but I thought the Donner solid body had a good sharp sound that would work well in many situations, too.

If Donner fronted me an MIA Telecaster, I'd be a shill too, lol! (By the way, I believe it's "schill")😁

Build a Warmoth exactly how you want it.
