Personally; I dig Teles and have had few. They're no just one trick ponies and you can build 'em out equipped just like any other guitar.

Actually, I believe he's trolling. Mad respect.

You mean those supersrtats with Floyds, pointy headstock and humbuckers with a weird, modded body shape?

Re: A Telecaster is the ONLY electric guitar you need
In my humble opinion; a "Tele" is a particular shape of guitar body...nothing more...there has been just about any and every variation of a theme that you can imagine with a Tele since 1951...heck...it started out with a Snakehead and one pickup guitar and evolved to Kramer putting an OFR as well as an angled humbucker in the bridge on theirs. Fender's Custom Shop is pumping out plenty of $3.5k-$6.5K Teles of all varieties - so it really never stops being a Tele based upon components as long as it has the classic Tele shape.

Those were pretty cool; I also almost picked one up at my local Music Go Round.

Now those are some RIGHTEOUS Teles I could be very happy with.

Re: A Telecaster is the ONLY electric guitar you need
Finally a telecaster I can get into!
**** telecasters. If you can't do it on this:
You can't do it at all.
Not loud enough, you say? Strum harder you pussy.
Suprised no one has mentioned the Parker P-36, I almost bought one a few years back.

Re: A Telecaster is the ONLY electric guitar you need
I'm gonna agree. UNLESS. I'm trying to play jazz standards- Then only an L-5 or archtop will do.Don't care who you are or what you do, a Tele is simply the only tool you need to do it.
I'm sayin' if you can't do it with this
You just can't do it.

Re: A Telecaster is the ONLY electric guitar you need
Well, now that we are here on page 6, I guess full disclosure is in order. I have owned only one telecaster in my life, and it was only around a few years. Samick/Valley Arts Ray Benson:
A sweet ride, but hardly basic...
So, yeah, y'all have been rolled, patrolled, trolled, and extolled! Great Tele thread, but I do not have a dog in this hunt.
