If I was going to buy one I would get the standard.

Im getting the standard

Hey Mr. Braun, love your videos and your telecasters! Personally I'm a huge tele fan and both sound great. If I were to play my good ole' country music which is somethin I love to play since I live in Texas, I would go for the standard (which looks amazing btw) but if I wanted some southern rock I'd reach for the deluxe. Love your videos and keep us updated on Instagram! (arronrayb is my insta account)

The Standard Tele takes it!

Darrell Braun Guitar I love the Standard, but I own a Modern Player. Two reasons, versatility and price. It was the most for my money.

My condolences for your loss. My story is similar to yours for my strat, my Dad got it some 20-25 years ago when he wanted to get into guitar but never really did. When he found out that I started getting interested in guitar he bought me an acoustic, and got the strat re-strung. I don’t have the acoustic anymore I sold it for an acoustic that I feel more comfortable, but the strat is still my go to. Along with the two guitars he gave me his old amp which probably costs some $100-$150 today. It’s a trash amp but it serves me well.

I like your story, way to go man there's no quitters here

Never sell it!

The hero we needed 👍

I own the Chris Shiflett Telecaster deluxe and that has humbuckers in it

@@bradleyspinks7922 I never owed a Tele with humbuckers, but I am curious, does it have the Tele twang?

@@ricmel8008 it definitely has that Tele swang to it but is less bright and more warmer sounding, to my ears anyway.

@@bradleyspinks7922 Oh ok, thanks much

AWESOME!!!😁🎈😁🎈😁🎈😁🎈😁🎈😁🎈😁🎈😁🎈

For clean tones I would definitely say yes the Tele with single coils. For crunch I would say a Strat with single coils.

@@fredriksvard2603 or P90

@@fredriksvard2603 I don't know about that. I think a good Tele single coil bridge pup kicks out high gain better than most humbuckers.

It also has more of a twang sound.

For sure! Single coils are so expressive! The tone😋

+Andrew Stump Thanks!

Hi! You could try the Squier Vintage modified Telecaster Deluxe. Search for "HH Telecaster" for some other options. Most will have low output pickups though, which might not be your preference. ☺

Andrew Levister actually jim root's squire is dual passive humbucking pick ups I don't think you need to change it's battery

Andrew Levister also search the J5 squire telecaster you might like it uses humbuckers

Get a deluxe custom like I have. Single coil on the bridge humbucker on the neck pickup. Cant go wrong

Matthew Pettersen My mom heard that because I was playing it out loud and she laughed so hard 😂

I like my women like my guitars - long neck and a good bottom end. :)

most of the time you can tell what kind of women the men prefers by his favorite guitars ;)

What a quote~

Yeah that was kinda yikes

NT is the way to go for a deluxe!

+socialdef3 Thanks man! I appreciate it ☺

Im just not a humbucker fan. I can pick them out of a mix almost everytime. And for the dreaded 60 cycle hum....get a volume pedal and tell your drummer to play louder....lol i much prefer the clarity of single coils however, i do like those firebird style mini humbuckers but theyre kinda like p90's. But that probably has something to do with pots and the lot. Good vid.

Buttered Biskit The Les Paul Deluxe has mini-humbuckers and are a cool bridge between a LP and Tele, but not so easy to find or pay for. Nice to have two volume and two tone controls too.

I bought an 86 Telecaster new and I've played it ever since. I recently purchased the deluxe and it opened up a different world of tones. There's definitely room for both of these axes in my quiver.

I agree about the single coils. Very much so. I actually have a Deluxe with Shawbuckers. I like it a lot, it sounds great...but it's not that Tele sound that haunts us

I enjoyed the tone of the Deluxe but, that’s not a real Tele.

Humbuckers are generally built for gain though

@@alistairdimmick2886 Humbuckers were invented _way_ back in the day in order to defeat single coil hum. The penchant for overdriving amps came later, when loud bands of the era started to get used to their quest-for-volume resulting in clipped guitar sounds. And even today, not everyone plays in rock/blues-derived styles; there's _plenty_ of music genres that use clean electric guitar - funk, latin, some country, folk, a lot of pop, jazz and a ton of non-cubby-holeable in-between styles. And they don't always use Fenders. Hey, listen to really early Stones & Beatles - the guitars aren't actually very over-driven, you can distinctly hear the natural tone of each guitar model.

@@pbasswil yes and they are usually used for gain tones. All hail the P bass

@@user-zn4qy7tw9t bruh

hahah

LOL

@@cammejia5665 this ain't Twitter

I have one incredible @@@@@@!!!!!!!

great colour choice!

Squire?

Yeah they get so muddy

+Frank Alvarado Man, that is great to hear! You should definitely start playing again ☺

Darrell forgot to mention that only Japanese women are like that...and they age magnificiently! I have been married to my Japanese wife for 20 years this year, and she is as beautiful, sexy, wonderful and kind as ever!!

But would it hurt as much if you dropped her?

@@peyotepete6532 If you dropped her you didn;t love her enough in the first place and got complacent. Just be careful she doesn't have an admirer who would be all too keen to pick her up when you drop her cos that m/f will run with it lol.

Uhhmmmm Yoko Ono.....

@@TonySSohal I think Yoko was Korean. I used to pick on the whole race but when I lived in Fayetteville North Carolina near Fort Bragg I saw a lot of Korean women. They don't age well once they get off the boat, if you know what I mean. Ok, I guess I still do....lol

Evan Iqbal that makes sense, you get the humbuckers you’re used to and you get that single cutaway. But you get the fender feel.

I love the gibson tone and the fender feel, so perfect for me too

I agree, and I’m right there with you. Also with a bad back from my military days, I’m grateful that my tele deluxe is a lot lighter.

Actually, I'd suggest a maple neck single coil tele if you're a Les Paul guy. Put some DiMarzio true velvet pickups in it and you'll love it. The reason I say is cuz a tele is as close and as far as you can get from a LP. It's like the single coil version of an LP. I used to own a bunch of guitars, but now I just own 3: my goldtop LP, my tobacco burst tele and my acoustic.

If you can get over all that pick guard.

+darkestfugue Thanks man!

To me they sounded so dark n completely different

Ivy Symphony I think the ashtray bridge design is ugly. Looks unfinished.

If you are playing music that doesn't need twang, then the single coil can be problematic. A hardtail strat or tele with a humbucker is a great rock guitar that challenges gibson SGs and les pauls, with better tuning stability and easily swappable parts. A strat with a trem and a humbucker isn't quite as thick and punchy, as another youtubers video shows. To me a telecaster is a just a shape. You can put whatever pickup you want in it. If you want twang you can put a tele pickup in a les paul and it will probably be 95% there. I never understood guitar purists who think that everything leo fender did was perfect from the get go. He had different designs when he went to g&L. If everyone stuck to this "that ain't a tele" or "that ain't a strat" stuff, Eddie Van Halen would have never been the innovator he was. Who told anyone you can't put a humbucker in a strat? F that.

@@TheDmonet I couldn't have said it any better. I love a hss & hh strat such more than a sss. I hate a single coil bridge...too trebly to me

@@TheDmonet I mostly agree but then, what's the point in buying a tele with hh if its purpose is just to replicate a gibson. Why don't you just buy a sg, les paul or any kind of guitar which is supposed to be the best in what it does. No other could ever achieve the sound a tele had with single coils in bridge position. If you remove that, then it's obvious that you better buy a strat because it has a better sound on neck pickups. I mean, I don't know... A tele without a single coil on bridge still has the shape of a tele but what's the point in buying one soundwise?

@@stell4rt I already mentioned why: Scale length, stays in tune better, more easily swappable parts, different feel on the bridge (raised vs flat mount). Less expensive. If it sounds basically like a les paul but you don't like the gibson scale, don't like raised bridges, and want to be able to change a neck out without having to pay a luthier....those are many reasons why someone would choose a tele deluxe over a les paul. As for the strat neck pickup, just put the strat neck pickup in the tele. I think strat hardtails sound better than trems (as does the god of all dad rockers Joe Bonnamassa however you spell it), and a telecaster and strat hardtail are basically the same guitar with one more cutout on the strat. Again, the entire guitar traditionalist thing is one of the most annoying things I"ve ever experienced. "It just ain't no tele without no twang". Why do anyone care if someone wants a tele that doesn't twang? They should be forced to play a les paul. Again EVH should have put an end to the guitar traditionalist nonsense but some people cling to it.

Thanks! Glad to help ☺

Congrats

AK47: the gun is reliable but kicks like a mule Strat: the guitar is reliable but the whammy bar whacks it out of tune haha

I think strat is more an m16 and tele is ak 47.

@@joshualessore7652 If you play a Chinese Squier Stratocaster, then of course the whammy bar will detune it.

"only afford one" hahahah check back with me in ten yrs....you will probably have 5 or 10. It's a disease. Good luck!

+Chromatic Swing Thanks!

+Matheus Castro 😎 Thanks!

yes it was great, was wondering if it is a existing song or just impro.

Matheus Castro i was tryin to figure out which one i wanted to start out with the standard or deluxe

+William Hawkins Nice!

Don't forget the middle position. This is an important sound of the tele too

The answer is a Tele Custom!

+MrDirtBaggins 3 Tele Deluxes? That's hardcore! 😀

Darrell Braun Guitar Of course, after all they are the best model of guitar in the world. In fact three simply is not enough, in thinking about getting another one

i agree. humbucker in the neck with a split coil feature is the best on a tele

Btw My Thinline is a few years old and does not have Shawbuckers. The Wide Range-ish pickups in mine are very pleasant sounding and not squealy at all.

+The Don DeLuxe Love thinlines!

Thinking is on my wish list, great guitars!

The broke one...

Mike Anderson Like Jimi Hendrix, Slash, Ritchie Blackmore, Albert King, YJM, Brian May, John 5, Chuck Berry, and Brian Setzer? They basically play(ed) and were devoted to one model of guitar.

@@nkmcfrln Pffft. Jimi Hendrix did not. He used Flying Vs, SGs, and multiple Strats.

Much like bikes and watches (also cars if you have the money), the correct number of guitars is N+1 (N=number of guitars currently owned).

to me it's the opposite of the best of both worlds. I'm a strat neck pickup humbucker bridge person. my next guitar will be a hard tail strat with that setup.

+John Croney Thanks Jon! Glad you enjoyed the comparison 👍

Wasn't it inspired by Keith Richards needs?

Neil Aspinall the Telecaster Custom has the humbucker in the neck. It also was released in 72. Kieth installed a PAF in his 52 in 72. The question which was done first? Did Fender release that guitar and was Kieth inspired, or was Fender inspired by Kieth?

@@Neil-Aspinall it has storage space for his drugs?

+Gonzaga Nice Teles man! 👍

Thanks man! I Love the way you described them!

+Iván Maguiña Thanks man!

+Mike Irving Thanks Mike - glad to help! Good luck on your Tele search ☺
