got to say this has become my favourite guitar review/demo channel on youtube! keep on rocking

i went through a period of buying and selling for about a decade. I tried dozens of guitars under $1000 and had about 5 Classic Vibes. Each one was excellent and as a person who started in the 80s when guitars were either expensive or garbage I was very impressed.

I've had 4 classic vibes and they've all been tremendous. I picked up a Classic Vibe 70's strat last year quite cheap and had a really great time modifying it. I've got a Fender American Pro II Strat which is a very nice guitar but that Squier strat is much closer to it than you'd expect given the price difference.

My classic vibe 50's telecaster is the guitar I grab most often. Plays great, sounds great. I did replace the pots, switch and tone cap. I've owned Japanese fender 50's teles and American ones and the C.V. holds its own.

Great as always sir!! Just got my birth year guitar: 1974 Strat and I love it. Been heavily loved over its 48 years - refret, 80s USA Kahler installed, tuners changed, pots and pups are original however, it is FANTASTIC!!

Well crap, this guitar wasn’t even on my radar, but now I need it. Great video as always!

I really wish they made this and the 72 thinline in left handed versions

I have a 2013 classic vibe '60s jazz bass and a 2020 Squier bullet telecaster, both completely stock and they feel, play and sound just as good as my Fender models and custom builds. Keep these videos coming, I appreciate the honesty you put into them. Where other reviews are scripted by the manufacturer and those guys are playing the part of corporate yes boys. You definitely have a lifetime viewer with me. Cheer's

In the last few years I think both Squier and Epiphone have really come on leaps and bounds. The designs are a bit more interesting than some of the models offered by their parent companies.

it's a fact that the modern day classic vibe squire's and " new " 2020 inspired by gibson epiphones are absolute good guitars and that with some upgraded parts you will have an guitar that's on par with the american made production line fenders and gibsons ( maybe even with the custom range , although that's maybe reaching to far ) , but anyway's , cost / perfomance wise , these guitars deliver big time . on another note : it is funny though how taste will differ , i really hate tele's with 2 humbuckers and a strat headstock : ) , i can understand and like a humbucker in the neck position on a tele , but i really want to see the tele headstock , great work as alway's colin , cheers , greets from holland

Loved that video - great to hear someone enthusing about their 'thing', especially if the thing is guitars! My first 'child' was a Squire - an '83 Strat purchased in '84, lovingly cradled on the bus all the way home at the time - it's had a few tiny dinks and scratches along the way, but haven't we all? - it's a sign of having lived a life, and like it's owner, needs a bit of a spruce up now and then. I'm no player, just love being able to noodle a bit and learn some of my favourite songs. I've since acquired a Gibson and a couple of Fenders, and I'll buy a few more yet, but the '83 Squire Strat will be the one that's buried with me.....hopefully all in good time....! Cheers to you all!

I just got into guitar in my 30's and all of mine so far are Squiers. I've got the J Mascis Signature Jazzmaster, The CV 70's Strat and a bullet tele. When I take them in to get setup, the guys at my local shop are always blown away by the quality of them. They can't believe they're under 500 bucks. I think my next one will be the Squier Paranormal Super-Sonic (which might be neat to take a look at, kind of a weird one), but this CV 70's Tele deluxe is definitely next up after that.

Great video. I too was spending a small fortune on collecting Gretch guitars. I have recently retired. The past couple of months I purchased a Vintage brand V100 HH and a 59 limited edition Epiphone Les Paul. What craftsmanship for a fraction of the cost. The quality far surpasses the cost of the 2 guitars. Please keep the videos coming.

I've had a few CVs over the years and all were really good but I never got by the "Squier" logo on the headstock. I am starting to get over it though and your assessment of the build quality and tone is spot on. I had a CV Duo Sonic in Desert Sand and regret selling it. What a fun guitar! Thanks for the great videos man. Cheers!

That sounded waaaay better than i expected. I would love to see you take on a g&l tribute asat classic bluesboy.

Complete control! Great video again Colin! I have the pervious iteration, the Vintage Modified Telecaster Deluxe with the Fender branded pickups, also in Olympic White. Fantastic guitar! I think that Squier basically lifted the 72 Custom, Deluxe and 72 Thinline from that range, changed the neck tint and frets. This model feels purpose built for punk and reggae. Stay Free!

You are on fire, dude. Great to see a different style of guitar on the bench and even happier to see that you found another affordable axe to enjoy. Have a good weekend, Colin. Mind how you go

I bought this in all black last year. I put thicker strings on and tuned it to D. The guy had to file the nut a bit so it won't go horribly out of tune when playing notes on the first few frets. Besides that, I haven't changed anything. I like the guitar, it sounds good, it's really resonant!

Wobbly telecaster jacks are technically vintage accurate, you'd think 72 years would be enough time to design a decent jack mounting plate. I'd put a steel les paul style plate on it and be done.

Hi colin. Great demo on the classic vibe tele. Squires are rearly good as you have shown. You made me smile about people buying surf green classic vibe jaguars, I got one and it is a lovely guitar. My favourite guitar is my 2015 mexican fsr butterscotch blackguard tele, with a fender custom shop 51 nocaster pickup in the neck £50 on ebay, and a hand made bridge pick up from Route 66 pickups ( a guy from Bury st edmunds area makes these) £50 from pete at sounds plus roadhouse guitars in bury st eds.

The 70's teles are amazing. I have an 06 and and 21. The neck humbucker on those things are insane.

I recently sold my Squier C.V. 50's Tele for reasons that are still unclear to me. I paid $250 for it, used, not expecting much. I was astounded on how good it was.

I love your reviews, so relaxing to watch. You are one of the people whose opinion I trust. I'm getting a Squire Esquire thanks to you!!

Fell in love with the Telecaster Deluxe after seeing Graham Coxon playing one. (Live at the Zodiac) Would love to own one but right now it's all about Les Pauls with P-90s for me!

You continually pick all my favorite guitars Colin. How do you know? Absolutely love your channel and your delivery. A real gem i love Fridays. You give me that Friday feeling. Great review.

Nice review of incredibly great series of guitars that are the "Classic Vibe" line up. I had one Fender Squier Telecaster Avril Lavigne Signature, Odd one as it has only one Humbucker pickup that I sold last week. The 3 way switch is used to split the bucker into dual single coil. Not as versatile as the true dual single coil, it did have a nice voice. Thanks for another great "Break Down and Play" demo, you really keep the BS out of your videos and I love it. Take care.

Another great video from you! I've always had a soft spot for the 70's teles especially the custom with the wide range in the neck and single coil in the bridge. this deluxe sounds and looks really nice.

I think the necks on the classic vibes and affinities sound and play great. It's like the opposite of the old small thin necks from the past.

I am also a fan from anything 70s my fave decade.

Another good review. I'm glad to see you are planning to review more Teles in the future since I think there might be one on my horizon. I would want for my next electric guitar to be about as different as possible from my Epiphone ES-335 and I think the Telecaster might be it. I'll probably lean toward one with traditional single coils though. Thanks for the videos!

Great review! I love the "Circle of Guitar Life" idea! I own several Squiers and with slight mods, they are awesome guitars!

By far, thee most versatile electric guitar platform on the production market. ❤❤❤

My first decent guitar was a black CMI Tele Deluxe copy. It had standard humbuckers rather than wide range style, but it looked the part, and played nicely. It's one of those guitars I wish I'd kept, but I sold it to raise money for my first real Fender Tele, a 1970's one. I had that for a coupe of years, then managed to get a 1966 one, which I still have, and which has been my main guitar for over forty years. But when I got the '66, I noticed something about the 70's one - it was the wrong shape. It turned out that in the early 70's, CBS replaced the original Fender body routers, and the new ones couldn't replicate the little curve on the upper bout that leads into the neck pocket, so they just did it a bit shallower, and once you spot it, you can't unsee it. It's disguised a bit by the curve of the scratchplate, but most Tele Deluxes from that era are that 'wrong' shape, which makes this one the wrong shape, but also the right shape!

Great video as always Colin. Seriously top end Squiers... fantastic guitars.

Great video, and a guitar that is high on my possibles list. Your story towards the end of the video is a bit like mine - I had avoided "affordable" guitars having been forced to suffer them as a youngster. Now I'm as thrilled to discover the joys of a Harley Benton Jazzmaster knock off as I am unboxing a £1500 PRS. Having had the scratch plate off, can you judge whether there's enough space in the routing for full-size pots. Keep up the excellent output.

No matter the guitar you are presenting us you get a good sound!

I still have my squier standard and classic vibe. One of the best budget guitar in my books

My 1st electric guitar was a Classic Vibe Custom Tele, the double bound one. Brilliant guitar, only gripe was how statically the pick guard would get. I ended up trading it along for a Godin Session Hss but I do miss it. Well put together guitar. Think when I double back to a Tele though I'll grab the Sire T7 vintage.

I just played one of these at a local guitar shop and it is one of the best sounding guitars I have ever played and I have owned some beauties.

Nice vid again. Bit naughty getting one with scratchy pots but rather than replacing a good squirt of Deoxit usually does the trick (any automotive contact spray might work but the most exp is worth the investment over the years I think in this case). I disagree that the electronics let the Squier CV range down. Personally, I would upgrade the metal hardware if anything and maybe especially so on the strat trem if you want floating. Even that though is way off essential or even particularly necessary, IMO. I now have a Squier CV 50s Tele which I am a fan of and just bought a CV 60s Strat that's fine for home use and local gigs even (again IMO). The strat came with a full set up incl of PLEK (hardly any extra here from my chosen shop). Versus the other one, it's nice to have everything just so but the PLEK is not essential, I thought, but enough of a difference that I would take it again if that offer stands. I too have a couple of expensive guitars but really, for what I care about, as go-to guitars (no great guitarist but like classic stuff) the CVs are all I need to satisfy my first world issues. Sure I like nitro but the CV Strat finish is beautiful in its own right and the thing is not heavy and better balanced than my now old MIM standard Strat.............Knocking it out of the park with no actual need to change a thing for anything remotely local (again IMHO)..............

Colin, your channel makes me want to buy every guitar I see here and go even more broke than I am right now. Great vid as always! 😆

I recently purchased a Fender Telecaster Deluxe with mercury paint for $1,686. I’m by no means rich but this guitar was worth every fucking penny! The absolute best sounding and best guitar to play that I own. My other guitars are a 1967 Fender Telecaster, a 1967 Gibson ES 330TDC, and a 1984 Fender Flame Standard - all absolutely wonderful original guitars- but the 2024 Tele Deluxe is still the greatest.

I’m also a huge fan of Squire CV. I have a Starcaster and a 50’s butterscotch Tele. Now the Tele is a heavy beast (pine) but it’s a great axe! I did have a 50’s CV Strat that I couldn’t bond with so I sold it.

What a stunning tele! I’ve been really impressed with the fretwork on some of these Indonesian made guitars. Excited to see you ended up getting the Les Paul studio! Looking forward to seeing that on the upcoming video. I can relate too well to the gear addiction too. I took a break from playing for several years and just got back into it 1 year back…I’ve lost count of how many guitars I’ve bought and sold since then, but I built up a nice collection fairly quickly and now realizing I need to be more budget conscious moving forward. 😅 Hopefully I can try one of these Classic Vibes in the shop. I’m thinking of getting the 40th anniversary model they just released. Thanks as always for these. 🤘😎

the first guitar i bought with flat out cash. it’s a very versatile “les paul esc” guitar if you want to get those solid body humbucker tones. lovely guitar for the price.

I had an original 1973 Fender Tele deluxe (although neck pocket was dated 1972), in I believe what they called Walnut. Bought it brand new for 300 with case sold it 5 yrs ago for 10 times that. Personally I could never bond with it if that makes sense and if I remember correctly it weighed a ton.

Your content is awesome, always a joy to see what you’ve got up next !!

I picked up a Pro II Telecaster last month and then on a whim, as I'd sold my Les Paul and only humbucker equipped guitar, bar a Noeley G signature Epiphone, purchased one of these Squier Deluxe's. In one corner we have the Fender Pro II Tele, in the other, the Squier Tele Deluxe and smack in the middle is my wallet questioning my reasoning for thousands over hundreds. The little leather clad bastard already snitches to my Mrs when I buy a new guitar. She already keep's one of my testicles in her handbag. The other will be on it's way if she ever watches this video. Great work again Colin! Thanks for the channel in general and your forthright approach. Cheers!

TGIF w/Colin....looking forward to this as I never bonded with a tele

"so Applause!" Love it, it's my first electric gtr, love it since the beginning

So good Colin, yet another guitar on my radar. Thanks for the positive personal insights as well. What makes your channel so worthwhile? Of course the videos being posted at 6pm, my time, helps ease me nicely into the weekend. But, what I have realised is that when I feel the need for a bevvie refill, or a requirement to placate the family or dog, I pause your videos so that I don't miss a thing. I don't normally do that when watching my other subscription channels... so there's that.

I really enjoyed you break down of these guitars

The Squier I've seen are very high quality fit and finish! I'm not a fan of the 70's headstock especially on a tele and the belly cut on this one looks different/weird. I do like the 70's models However. Thanks for showcasing this affordable tele!

El mejor canal de guitarristas y para guitarristas!

I have a telecaster with Bill Lawrence pickups, but I do want a double humbucker model some day! NIce vid mate :)

I made my own Tele Deluxe nearly 10 years ago - Long story but I was offered 2 raw wood, routed only, Tele bodies, a Cabronita and a Deluxe. I'd never owned a Tele at that point, and I didn't particularly like them to be honest 😆 Anyway they both turned out great and I grew to love them both. About a year ago I was thinking about getting a Tele with single coils but I had the idea to see if I could get a scratchplate made that was routed to take a Tele single coil in the bridge and a humbucker in the neck. Now I find myself wanting a guitar with P90s, when I could save a ton of money if I could buy another scratchplate but routed to take 2 P90s instead. If this works out then I reckon that a Tele Deluxe would have to be seen as probably the most versatile guitar ever made, and if I can easily swap between scratchplates for the choice of wide range or regular humbuckers, single coils, and P90s, then that's a good thing as far as I'm concerned....and then it creates another argument in my mind that I only need to have one solid body electric guitar (my Deluxe with 3 or 4 loaded scratchplates of course), then I could possibly sell my other guitars and try and get near to the amount of my dream Penguin, just to indulge my love of guitars 😆👍

I saw this and went to PMT in Birmingham and bought one. It has served me well so far. I've thought about having the pickups out and replacing them with some Alnico2's from The Creamery... but, she sounds alright as she is. I'm gonna hang on to it for now and see how it goes during the next project I get involved in....

Hi Colin. Nice video again. You have to give the cv thinline 69 tele a go. I bought mine from a guy who was upgrading to the mex version of the same guitar. He tried to buy the cv back from me because the mex wasn't as good. I will never sell, it's my go to, i love it.

LOVE that guitar. Never like them as a kid until I saw it in an ad in Olympic White; whole different story. VERY COOL!

OH YEAH! I love the white, I have a Squire Affinity Tele from Indonesia... this one is Butterscotch. It was a "special" run with real Fender pups. It sounds fantastic. I will probably replace the tuners and I ordered a red tortoise shell pickguard. As I always say.... a tele is like a belly button. Everybody should have one. CHEERS! Great review as always...thanks Colin

Yeah! Can't wait to see the Blackguard Tele! Excellent review and tear down as always. This one sounded exceptionally good too. Love those wide range humbuckers, they've got that full-bodied yet airy twang.

I have a 2008 vintage modified telecaster custom, black, I took all thr wiring out and pickups put pit seymour duncan seth lovers and re wired it new pots, put fender locking tuners on it and brass saddles.....love it...

Kia ora I just inherited my dads tele like this one and took it in to my local music shop to get it looked at and repair what needed fixing firstly he said my dad played it with the heaviest gauge strings and the neck was bent I cant wait to pick it back up and treasure it

LOVE that guitar. Very nostalgic for me, they were in the stores when I was a teenager. Never like them until I saw it in a magazine ad in Olympic White; whole different story. VERY COOL! I thought of this as Fender's Les Paul. FYI, the first F-Tuners were made down the street from Fender in a deal Leo made with a machinist friend. They made each individual part and assembled them. When they couldn't keep up with demand, they turned to Schaller, who made the ones people thought were crap; Schaller making crappy tuners? Go figure. I had a black '71 Thinline, excellent humbuckers, and the F-tuners were tight, stable and great feeling. FYI: On all my teles I use a Les Paul jack plate. The traditional Tele one just seems stupid and is always a pain in the ass. GREAT VIDEO!

It looks and sounds like the Fender! I accidentally bought a 74 Fender, in 1982 in a pawn shop for $400. Of course I sold it too soon. But these Squiers are the next best thing. Especially for the price. Now I’m feeling the need to get one.

Cool that you called out PMT Southend . I went to school with Simon, one of the original owners, I bought most of my guitars from there .

I went down a rabbit hole with the wide range humbuckers on the road to picking up a secondhand mexican roadworn one of these. The original wide range was designed with magnetic adjustable CuNiFe pole pieces and oversized bobbins as they were weaker magents than bar magnets. The CuNiFe material was produced up until about 1981 for use in car speedometers. When the material was no longer available they stopped making the wide range buckers

Sounds great and if Squiers are good enough for Jack Pearson formerly of the Allman Brothers they are good enough for everyone...He says not everyone is made the same but it's easy to find a good one if you try it out first and then it's a keeper...

Just stopping by today, I have a Squier Bullet Limited Edition telecaster is red sparkle flake finish that I picked up for about $119.00 USD a few years back. No high frets and the setup is 100% perfect... very awesome guitar. I write and record commercially licensed music under performance rights organization, BMI. And the telecaster fits at least seven genres of music that I write and record in. Such a brilliant guitar. I really like the sound and demo music you are playing, reminds me of Elliot Easton from my favorite band "The Cars"... As an older 1970s/1980s guy myself I understand what you are saying in the video. That sound of the tele' for classic rock and even pop brings me WAY back, and think you'll agree on that. The last thing that I like to say (and yes, as an old guy, I can ramble a lot), these guitars look, sound and play very well and the lower prices keeps more money in my pocket.. And that to me, is a win/win. Thank You for reading my comment, have a great weekend, stay safe out there. - Mr.Tom

Well I can tell you totally enjoyed this CV tele. And I think that enthusiasm shone thru to make it one of your very best vids. 😎👍 Not to mention playing one of your fav tracks I'm thinking and so...we could likely have a clash interlude weekly. 😅 That would likely get us thru for some time!!! Can you recall where in Aus you bought the strat? I lived in London for 18 months and had a blast. Haven't been back in years, but did go back a few other times. One day again hopefully. 😊 My deluxe MIJ Troublemaker looks somewhere similar in terms of colour and headstock, but then the differences kick in. Mine doesn't come with that large pick guard for starters & the rest is more Gibson than Fender. 🤔 But, this looks very aesthecally pleasing! Eh, as per your thoughts, expensive (well not cheap) vs this CV likely not a great deal there in terms of sound, just a bit different. I think you may have sold this to many a viewer here. And one thing you didn't mention to your viewers who aren't familiar with the volume and tone set up is the great flexibility. Cheers Col. 🎸🎸🎸

Just Subscribed, Wonderful channel ! I do the same thing, I’m a builder and the Squiers are amazing. It’s cheaper to buy one complete then to build from scratch.

Thanks for the great content! I love my squier classic vibe 50’s and gassing for one of these or a Jazzmaster! Love being able to mod them and upgrade how I like. Great value 👍

Great video as always! Have been really interested in those '72 or '75? classic series Tele's (with the f hole) after hearing Kirk Fletcher's. Would love to see a rundown on one of those 👍

Just bought one of these for £150, has been well played but is a great base for a project! Loved the video mate! Going to check out your others now!

This has fast become one of my favourite channels. Keep it up👍

I kinda have same backstory, guitar mad as a teen had about 12 at 1 stage, ,just regular guitars, tho a white Fender strat among them,& a black 'Westbury by Vox' which at time was my favourite, a lawsuit Suzuki Hummingbird, no internet in 70's didn't know it's worth. Sold all by age of 30. Lockdown got me started againbought a squier tele, then a Gretsch jet. I found your channel on same day I got a Gretsch streamliner 2622, you reviewed same model & colour, today decided to get a classic vibe 70's tele & I come across this video, Karma is it?? This one will be the last, for a while at least, keep up the good work mate, great videos for another guitar addict

Lovely Another Girl Another Planet vibes on the intro jam mate.

Great review as always! Loved that Punk Interlude, I really dig your playing style and the sounds you make! This guitar is on my list of the guitars I want to get next, but I would get first the Squier Telecaster Custom CV because I want that single coil in the bridge, they say it has more bite than a regular single coil on other Teles. I wonder how it would compare to your Fender 70's Custom... Cheers!

Your videos are great love the work and all the guitars

Nice work, Great review... love your "Rebel's" jamming.. just ordered a Black Classic Vibe Tele..😎🤘

Hey Guitarista, I'm 54 and I began playing guitar very late at 18. I loved Led Zeppelin, but I always played Stratocasters and Telecasters. Later I started buying Paul Reed Smith. For a Jimmy Page fan I was a Strat guy. In 2014 I bought my first Epiphone Les Paul a 1960 Tribute Plus but it just wouldn't stay in tune, after I bought 3 more Epiphone Les Pauls and the same happened they wouldn't keep tune. So I said to myself "I will never buy a Gibson." In the last month I bought two Gibsons and I am a converted man.

The fat Strat headstock looks so good with the Tele shape. Adds just enough flare to balance out the simplicity of the body shape.

Love this one, got the same for $300 open box and dropped some P90s in a new pickguard, rewired the stock controls for 50s and ran with it. Gotoh saddles fit fine if you dont favor the OG bent steel Strat saddles Worth saying its a bona fide Strat neck with the curved neck heel, not the flat Tele heel. Doesn't at all need a neck swap but will take all kinds of interesting Fender necks of various profiles and various degrees of roasting... 😊

Hello again, Nice Tele, I really like it in white too. I have two Tele’s myself too, that bridge pickup will cut through anything out there haha! Love listening to your stories as you move along with the show too, it’s a pleasure. 🤙

Great and fun video! I haven't tried a Squier CV nor have I tried many sub $500 US guitars but there are lots of good guitars in the $500 to $1,000 range. I have a Schecter PT Special T-style for $600, a Yamaha Pacifica 612FM for $650 and a PRS S2 Satin singlecut for $1,050 (OK it's over a $1,000 but close) and all of these are great guitars. The PRS might be my favorite but the others sound and play great.

Nice one Colin, I know quite a few guitarist's that prefer Squires to actual Fender's...

Great demo Colin, Iv just purchased the squier 40th anniversary tele and its awesome! On a par with my fender vintera 50s telecaster 👍

To fix the loose jack cup, you can move the clip that holds the jack deeper into the body. Either that, or, what is probably a better solution install and Electrosocket or a clone. Moving the clip is kind of a pain and there's a special tool you can get to do it, but it's doable. Cool guitar. Fun review. Thanks again for the entertainment and information.

I have a Black Vintage modified telecaster deluxe squire and love it. It has Fender stamped Korean made wide range pickups. I play it more than my Mex Strat and Epiphone les Paul.

The quality of your videos are just.. As youre british ill chose the word "impeccible". (hope i spelled that right) Literally a lovely watch from start to finish.

Very well done demo! I just bought the Squier Classic Vibe '70s Telecaster Thinline Limited-Edition Electric Guitar Olympic White with block inlays and am expecting its arrival in a few days🤘🏼

The Classic Vibe is the best Squire since the first gen '70s style from the early '80s. Really cool.

I'm not much of a "telecaster" fan, maybe because I like the Stratocaster shape better. Even so, this looks and sounds like a quality guitar at a reasonable price. As I said before, I like guitars that cost less, and with some tweaking can be made into a superior instrument. Keep up the great work, Colin, You take the time to do the little bit extra stuff to present an outstanding review. Others really need to take a lesson or two from you, on what to talk about ;-)

a Frankencaster, and its tone brought to life, melodically as always, by the master.

I want to see the Squire Affinity Telecaster Deluxe

Nice one Colin! Always loved Tele Customs and Deluxes. The bridge pickup sounds fantastic. Any new semi-hollow reviews on the horizon?

Hey Colin! These Classic Vibe guitars are incredibly good value in spite of what cork sniffers say! And I am so glad you attended the "C.S.A." (Cork Sniffers Anonymous) and got your five year pin!! ") Truth is, my "lady partner" AKA (The Boss) kept me just poor enough to where I couldn't afford to be a cork sniffer!! LOL! I am in good spirits brother, as I've decided to write and record an entire album with my dear friend Dave who was lead guitar with me for many years! He's spent a small fortune of recording software and custom built computers, along with guitars, peddle boards etc etc, and has become a very highly respected engineer within the music community in the Toronto area. He's dropped everything, and isn't taking on any projects so we can concentrate on this project! I agreed to collaborate on his Metal album with writing and vocals with some rhythm guitar, which will be minimal as Dave is an absolute monster guitar player who can play ANYTHING! While we were working the club scene and recording old school, where there was no such thing as PC, he supplemented his income playing guitar for one of the most well known Canadian Elvis impersonators, who's son Rob played bass for us. When this album is done, we start on my album of good old fashioned rock n roll!! I've saved a bunch of complete and partially complete songs for a time like this, and with my failing health, I never believed I would get a chance, so I am really lit up (figuratively speaking) about this! Dave is funny about not wanting to expose anything he records until the project is done, so I'll have to sneak you some cuts via e-mail when we get a few complete. Another great video brother!! Jack ~'()'~

Ironically in my 50+ years of playing, I have never had a Tele…I shall have to finally get one soon…

Love the playing 👍👍

just picked up a 2020 classic vibe telecaster Deluxe FSR 70s Seafoam Green Sparkle Beautiful, after watching your channel, keep up the great work
