this video and the accompanying booklet provide great insight for the beginner or experienced player to the equipment spec's., and details of special tunings, chord-voicings and techniques of the most prominent and enduring telecaster driven superstars. i have not been able to find a second, or follow-up volume to this video (an effort well-warranted). nonetheless, if you're looking for a launching point from which to delve further into the playing of superstars like danny gatton, james burton, johnny lang, albert lee, kieth richards, and andy summers- this is money and time well spent.
One guitarist, who has been playing for about thirty years
and has used a myriad number of guitars, loves his Fender
62 reissue Telecaster, which he bought in the UK. Designed
in 1983, this Fender 62 reissue Telecaster is a very
different color of cherry grain and lighter than a Les
Paul, which he likes.
As a guitarist who dabbles in country, rock and roll and
even blues, he appreciates that the Fender 62 reissue
Telecaster is a great instrument for all three. When
playing country music he uses the pickup of the bridge; for
blues the neck pickup. A Roland processor and two twins
operating in stereo is how he started out using his Fender
62 Telecaster, but lately he employs an Ibanez compressor
with a Fender Hot Rod, 40 watt, and straight out of the
amplifier.
The only negative thing this experienced guitarist has to
say about his classic Fender 62 is that the factory vintage
tuners make it difficult to change strings very quickly.
The 62 reissue Telecaster earned a ten (out of 10) for
reliability and durability from this reviewer. He has never
had to call on customer service for any repair or support.
This accomplished musician calls his Fender 62 Telecaster
the best musical investment he has ever made.
Another guitarist, who has owned his 62 reissue Telecaster
for twenty years, said the same thing about reliability. He
has just never had a problem with it and is interested in
finding out just how long it's going to last. While he says
it's the Jeep and not the Ferrari of guitars he truly loves
the sound and action of this instrument. One negative note
from this reviewer - the strings break often.
