wow. the paint job on those looks great
and the S1 switch adds a real kick with some distortion !
Thank you, and yes, that S1 switch is a major bonus the Fender added to a lot of their guitars that everybody is overlooking. It is a great feature. Thank you for your comments.

That is a really cool looking Telecaster. I like how these models ditched the scratch plate. Also when you pulled out that blue/gold paisley flames design I was blown away. Those are some of the coolest graphics I ever.
I have yet another question and I know this is off subject but do you have any Fender Teles with the B-bender contraption built in? I would like to see you demonstrate one. Forrest Lee Jr. put some demos on YouTube and he makes funny faces when he uses the bender strap button.
I don’t use the benders at all. I’ve watched Forrest for a while now. I simply like to make the licks happen without hollowing out half of a guitar.
Haha I agree about how much useful wood you have to route out of the Telecaster to get that B bender lever arm to fit. I still think that the whole revolving string post idea behind the bridge that Gene Parsons invented is really interesting, just the whole fact that it’s the strap button used to achieve the pedal steel effect.
But I saw this guitarist Doyle Dikes & he can do B bender effects on an acoustic guitar via headstock end. And many players I’ve seen play banjo while turning the pegs.
It is great device and they have been made in so many different ways. I too do a lot of bends over the nut at the headstock. I had my custom made Iceman headstock made special for bends up there. I had them to allow more room than a normal Strat for that kind of thing and that’s also why I had the 6 keys all on the same side, because it leaves for more bending room on the B string than if they were the other way. Waylon always had a banjo key installed too for that kind of thing. Great stuff
yeah that’s cool to have the inline headstock for extended bending. now I get why your Iceman has no string trees so the height of all the strings are very high off the truss rod region for deeper bending.
Isn’t a reversed 6-inline headstock design more appropriate though, where the low E string tuning post is the farthest from the nut? I heard a guy say if gives more tension on the fatter strings. Like some varied scale-length basses have “fanned frets”: it’s for proper tension distribution.
Actually, it’s the B string that needs to be one of the longest so that you can get a step and a half or 3 fret bend out of it. If it were on the shorter length of the headstock, you would slice your finger in half trying to make that bend happen over top of the headstock. That is why none of these bends are possible on a Gibson or any guitar with a 3+3 tuner setup or any guitar with a headstock that is tilted back. No room to bend and the strings also need to pass straight through the nut.
Ouch! so that makes sense it would hurt trying to bend a short B string! I’m not able to make left hand B-bending musically useful and I’m not a Floyd Rose dive-bombing fan either. I just really love the Bigsby style vibrato bars because they really only give about a 1/2 step of bending for that cool surfin quivering effect. I don’t remember seeing any Bigsbys in your videos?
Man but that Forrest Lee Jr. demonstrated a B & G bender, so he pushes the Tele down & forward for some cool effects.
Yeah, I don’t use any vibratos at all because when you bend as many strings at a time as I do, the lower strings will go flat on you if you play an open A string and do some bends while that A string is ringing, the A string will go flat when you bend the other strings. So, that’s not a good thing. True about Forrest, he can play the benders very well.
Yeah I knew about how they lack the Strat-type tremolo’s tuning stability/longer spring range. I just really like the shape and location of the flat Bigsby bars as it never gets in the way of my strumming hand (unless the Strat tremolo arm falls freely after bending).
I saw this Aussie band the Living End in concert a few times, & the lead singer/guitarist Chris Cheney would bend the hell out of his White Falcon Gretsch guitars, then switch guitars after every song for a retuning by the tech.
I hear ya, I would just rather play one guitar that stayed in tune all night. It just makes more sense.
I really love this guitar!! When I was shopping for my tele I could not make up my mind tele or strat, this one is both. Could you take a regular tele and install these type pickups wire it up a get this James Burton tone which I love so much? Wow what a rig it would be!!!!!
I wish these pickups were available to purchase. I’ve tried and Fender won’t sell them. The ones that I’ve found that seem to do the exact same tone and trick, and I’ve tried them all…..are simply a full (factory set) of the Fender Lace Sensor Silvers. Yep, in all positions. You won’t find a set of them on Ebay, you’ll find all gold and so on, but you have to order and actual full set from your Fender dealer and they sound as close to these as anything out there. Might be the same ones.
Do these pickups handle distortion well? I play a lot of country so i know for a fact these will work but i also play some heavier stuff like Jason Aldean and i wanna know if they can hold that crunch.
@wehurtthosewelove Great question and the answer is a big yes. With the S-1 switch kicked in, it sounds like you just kicked in a good old humbucker and all of a sudden you have tons of mids and beef to really fill out what’s needed to pull off some ballsy distortion sounds instead of the typical single coils straining to do it. So, as long as you get the versions with the S-1 switch in the volume pot, you’re good to go.
Thanks for the question.
hey man nice video, sweet guitars too
I’ve been looking online and I have my eye on the pearl white one but I can’t find anywhere that sells them in that style
do you have any websites you could recommend so I can get it in white? This is such a nice guitar, nice sound and I’d love to have one
@thevisionneverdies Hi there. Yeah, these are awesome axes and the pearl white is just as classy as they come. Musician’s Friend has them in stock right now. They are often out of them, but I just checked and they have them in. Just go to their site, type in Burton into the search, the red paisley flame finished one will show up, there is a drop down menu to the right of it that shows the finishes that are in stock and the Pearl White is there now.
