Gear4Music Knoxville Legacy

My LORD! That's a beauty!

I'm blown away by someone I'd consider one of the best guitarists surrounded by all this expensive equipment playing really cheap guitars.

In falls is right up my street power chord rock. Wish I could be so creative but I struggle to come up with stuff

Dave - do you have a relationship with the Jet Guitars people? I would LOVE to get a left handed JET JL-500 for my partner, but they're left handed and I can't find one for love nor money at any of the UK retailers. If you could help us out it would be much appreciated!

I bought mine for the looks first and foremost and had plans to mod it. But after I got it and gave it a much needed setup it was just good as is. 170 well spent. And I love both the width and feel of the neck

It's now my favorite guitar and a beater because it's reliced anyway. I don't feel like I have to baby it because I could damage the pretty glossy finish. It's got a real punk rock vibe to it in my opinion. Pair it with that Behringer amp and you're done for under £300. I'm getting one for the holidays

Nothing wrong in gear4music own brands.There amps aren’t bad either. And also there saxophones .

Cool guitar, Dave! Brilliant musicianship as always. The quality for money in budget instruments these days is mind boggling! Beginners have so many amazing options! Thanks for sharing, bro!

Love the offsping tones in the middle of the vidio

I see what you mean about the pickups - they are amazing ! None of the scratchy wooliness you usually get at that price range. As a died in the wool Tele fan any Tele is a good Tele if it can be bought at the right price. Like you I prefer skinny necks but as I am looking for my next Tele I will take whatever comes (apart from Harley B's which are just an odd shape). I like it when you play without a whammy bar - it changes your playing style and adds another dimension to what is always excellent.

Frank Zappa and George Carlin had a baby and they named him Dave

Sounds wicked

Hi dave. Once again, masterfully played!! Nice guitar especially for the price....174 euros here in The Netherlands.

Question. Would you mind answering my question I asked you about the Harley Benton tube 15? I pm'ed you on Instagram.

Dave I got a mybach telecaster best guitar ever unreal tone brilliant neck a masterpiece cheers

Perfect as ever. Thank you, Dave!

When I hear more noise than I’m making from my neighbors or construction ppl , thats my cue that’s God is telling me it’s that time to jam loudly 🤘
I finally got that katana cable after months of looking for one 😡
That’s a nice 👀’n 🍌 yellow telecaster and cheap. I swear you & Cici got the best ambience petals ..

I like the crazy transition from the driving surf chords to the quasi Spaghetti Western interlude 🤠. The guitar looks deformed on the upper right side. I’m not crazy about new guitars 🎸 that are ‘reliced’. It’s ok if an old 😮 guitar has been knocked around. The headstock on that guitar would improve the ugly one on the Fender Telecaster. It sounds 🎵 fabulous! 👍☮️🌞🎸❤️

Nice one! Your video about the G4M Strat got my interest; so, just for kicks, I got the DIY SG Kit. There are issues with it (neckpocket too small, wonky routing here and there), but it's promising. Wish me luck (and skill). I am also interested in the Seattle Bass. Thanks for sharing, lovely playing and great sound! By the way, any gigs in Germany, preferably Hamburg, possible?

Thanks for Mel9 in Into the Abyss 😎👍❤
Always love the way you and Mel get along 😉😎👍❤🖖

They nail the butterscotch blonde better than squier and fender

I love the fact that Dave is a great player, and yet gives constant props to "budget" guitars.

Dave get the Sub Zero White P90's PLEASE DEMO! and add a link, you will make good add revenue. Hard to get in US.
I have a Harley Benton TE52 with BB Chuncky neck, love it.

Dave - what were you getting the pseudo mellotron sounds from in your loiop?

Hello Buddy! I agree that guitar has a killer tone to it. I hear why you don't want to put it down.Your playing always makes me wan't to pick mine up and then I don't wan't it down, Oh buy the way I got my first Les Paul Special and it's in TV-Yellow. I'm a lefty so it took a few months to get from Sweetwater to Tulsa. I's such a great guitar. And the fat neck is to die for! I just wanted to say hello it's been a while. Keep up the good work my Brother. Till next time...

Dave Simpson try harley benton guitars! The Prince one!

Dave,
The next BANDCAMP FRIDAY is 2nd December All money goes to the artists 👌👍

Cool playing and axe!🙂

I always say a guitar is a keeper when I feel comfortable around it, like it's an old friend. This guitar truly made you feel welcome right away. You play it like you've had it for 20 years. Great playing, as always, and a wonderful "Old Soul" guitar!

Is good #9 David.

Do you still have the good gravy stickers for sale?

I tried the basic Telecaster Gear 4 music sell for £99 quid it is so much better than the squier bullet telecaster , no idea how they make a profit aa these guitars are great Ash body too

Have you tried out the Squier Contemporary Telecaster I have one on order should have it next week and can't wait

push me on jam was wicked!

Best of luck with your new purchase Dave! I was never really interested in teles until I got seafoam green Fender with a humbucker. It's got the whole package sonically and is now my go-too instrument and IMO is the best tool guitar you can have.....happy playing buddy 👍🎸

Amazing playing Dave!

I've been playing for a bit so neck isn't really an issue, but how do you think this would compare to a Classic Vibe tele? Great vid as always as well

How many guitars do you own now?

Simmo that tele sounds ace mate. Total gilmour.. Esque on the demo. Just shows any cheap ass guitar sounds as good as a custom shop in the right mitts.. I grew up in the 60s 70s before chav builders were on every street all the time.... It was better.

I'm puzzling over whether to get one, so really helpful, cheers. I noticed the body shape on these differs from a regular Tele with the top horn shape ... comes straight down into the neck, rather than curving into the pocket. Small detail I know ;)

thank you man
This was fantastic.

I'm a new player but my hands are XXXL so I might get one anyway .I just bought a Harley Benton TE20 HH and really getting into the Tele look and this one sounds amazing too.

I sort of took your advice for a new player and left this one and my new Jet[JT350 black] arrived today .I love it ,has everything I need and super light 2.6lb /5.7 lb .I do love the look and sound of this one too tho and may pick one up in the future .

Hi dave, great vid, i'm thinkin of gettin one of these, fancied a tele for years, i like the pink one but i prefer the maple neck, bugga lol!,.

Can I ask how old it is. It looks like its been played for years. TIA

Hi , I’ve been looking at these, are they all that good as this one ?

This guitar looks amazing!
Gear4music is literally 2 mins around the corner where we live! 😊

As a "late beginner" i tried a few guitars. I do have a 2010 squier bullet strat, thin neck but i did try one of the HB TE-40 with a "fatter neck" and i like it. I think i may try this one, i like slightly thicker-/wider necks.

Dave I decided to order one after seeing your video and Wow, after a setup it's absolutely incredible! Excellent tuners, big neck, big fretwire and perfectly level frets, which allows for super low action! I've owned high end teles like fender cs and Nash and I've owned inexpensive teles like Harley Benton and Squiers. This gear4music relic is the most enjoyable playing tele that I've ever owned and so I just bought a 2nd one! What a incredible bargain! A big Thanks to your video Dave!

Got the guitar, Sharp fret edges, fretboard had some patches of what looked like mould. The black tape around the bridge pickup was loose and sticking out. In there also laid half a steel bracket and a steel twirl (rest from drilling in metal) I had to remove bridge to get rid of these items. Eager as I was I scraped and sanded the neck and removed the logo. Since then Ive tried the guitar on a Yamaha THRii and a Boss Katana and there is no sound whatsoever when I plug it in. Sent it back, 7 weeks later still no money or guitar.

Dave have you tried the epiphone inspired by gibson ? Les paul special tv yellow beautiful guitar eould love to see you play it

Dave, I believe it’s a similar case with the latest Vintage V6 Reissued, right? Wider neck too. I don’t have big hands but for some reason, that type of neck helps me be more precíse. Of course, I play 'Claptonish-Knopflerish' blues-rock so no shredding, and for that style, I think these necks are amazing. I love your channel. Greetings from Helsinki!
