How Fidelity Guitars fixed my Fender 1972 Reissue Thinline Telecaster Guitar

 




I recently visited Matt Oram at Fidelity Guitars to try out some of his own guitar models but I also went to drop off my Fender 1972 Reissue Thinline Telecaster as it has become increasingly less playable recently and had been going out of tune a lot.

Find out about my visit to see Matt and his guitars here.

When I set up the visit I didn't realise that Matt did repairs and so when he mentioned that he particularly loved working on Telecaster style guitars, it just seemed like the right thing to do in getting him to sort mine out.

So I dropped it off and waited for his call to tell me when he had done the work.

How is my Telecaster now?

So Matt got in touch to say that he had finished it and I am delighted with the result!  So much so that I recorded the video below.  Let me know what you think of the tone?

Hands on comparison with the Fender Player Plus Nashville Telecaster and the Fender Player Standard Telecaster.

 I tried out two almost identical guitars from Fender in the same Butterscotch finish at PMT Cambridge.  The most significant difference between the two being the middle pick up on one of them.  Yes, I have had the opportunity to try out the Fender Player Plus Nashville Telecaster and compare it with the Fender Player Telecaster.  Is the Nashville going to be the obvious choice in terms of the better guitar just because it has more features and a higher price tag?  Let's see with this hands-on comparison. Setting the scene... In my home town we have only one guitar shop, PMT Cambridge.  They very kindly allowed me to try both of these guitars and the amp of choice was the Boss Katana set to edge of breakup. In my head I wanted to see if the simplicity of the standard telecaster won against the more feature rich Nashville.  It is an unfair comparison in this case as I am comparing the Player version of one with the higher spec Player Plus version of t...

I finally got to try out a Baum Original Series Wingman!

  In this article I am going to give you a hands on review of the Baum Original Series Wingman, Leaper Tone and Conquer 59. On Sunday, I travelled up to Birmingham to visit the UK Guitar Show and I had a list of who I wanted to visit and which guitars to try out. At the top of that list was Baum Guitars.  Based out of Aarhus, Denmark, this small but mighty company is bringing something special to guitar players all over the world.  Initially a custom guitar builder producing guitars costing in excess of £3k, thus not being accessible to many guitar players who are not professional, they have been able to bring their unique designs to more affordable price points that means that more and more people can purchase their guitars. For me, I see that Baum are bringing fresh ideas to guitar design whilst celebrating retro finishes and touches a vision from designer Morten Bau. The video below from Andertons gives a great overview of the range that is available. Not everyon...
