The story of Dan's Vintage Tele – refret, rewire & much more!
Welcome to the show – Dan here, hello! In 2015 I found my dream guitar: a 1965 Fender Telecaster. Four years later, I was lucky enough to own it. This video documents my journey with this astonishing guitar, as we talk through various topics including 'player-grade' vintage instruments and how – if you're thinking about spending serious amounts of cash on a guitar – a distinctly 'non-perfect' instrument is definitely worth considering.
Enjoy the video!
