          And for all of the Strat suggesters....It's a Tele with an extra cutaway, a middle pickup, and a trem.

          For people who can't do it with a Tele. Which would be you.

            Come to think of it, while a Tele can't do all the "obvious answers" as far as the tones for specific styles of music, I can't think of a single one where it would sound entirely out of place. Kind of like how The Clash could perform any genre, but not in the way you think they would, and it was all still very much punk. Likewise, you could put a Tele in the thrashiest of thrash metal, and it would fit, but still obviously be a Tele.

            ...and BTW you can't tell me that there's a better SD set in terms of simplicity matched with versatility than a Seth Lover neck, Jerry Donahue bridge.

              Twice I have seen Gibson players I liked using borrowed Teles and both of them sounded really good to me. Shockingly so. Tele into Marshall = nice. Harder and more clarity than a Les Paul for rythm and riffs. Neither dude was playing any single-note solos though. I imagine that would be harder to pull off without changing pickups and/or boost pedals.

              (I know one of the guitars in my avatar looks like a Tele but it really isn't: humbucker, wraparound bridge, and 24 3/4 scale neck.)

                I suspect the majority of guitarists would disagree with you and prefer a humbucker in the bridge. Guitar sales would confirm that.

                The Custom is the most versatile pickup IMO. Put it with a Jazz, 59, Pearly Gates, WLH, Seth Lover, whatever. Put it in any wood, any style of guitar, it'll sound good.

                  I always liked Teles. I play a Parker, but it kind of sounds like a Tele.

                  But here’s my “Tele” [emoji2] It’s built kind of like a Les Paul. Thick swamp ash body with a carved maple top and a set neck. Still sounds like a Tele. Scale length has a lot to do with that.

                    Well if you consider that the vast majority of guitar sales are for people who will never play them for more than a month, then that figure has considerably less meaning.

                              You can filter out the budget stuff and I'd expect it wouldn't change much. Considering how many Squiers are sold to beginners it might even tip it more towards humbuckers.

                              Maybe someone from SD could weigh in? What's the ratio of bridge humbuckers sold to bridge single coils sold?

                                Obviously more bridge humbuckers, a Tele bridge sounds good the moment you first pick the guitar up.
