Re: A Telecaster is the ONLY electric guitar you need
I don't like the upper fret access with a telecaster. The little cutaway sucks, and I bang my wrist on the horn. I also find myself much preferring to play a guitar with a trem these days. The neck pickup is inferior to a strat neck pickup (bridge pickup is great though - and the tele sounds great with both pickups in parallel). The telecaster is also (bar none) the ugliest guitar shape ever designed. Something that is only enhanced by the prevalence of posers smashing their brand new guitars up with goofy looking 'relicing' to pretend that they're old and well-loved instruments.
Re: A Telecaster is the ONLY electric guitar you need
That is true, they do. But I think it pales compared to something like an old PAF or Antiquity for jazz. I always saw jazz players who use a Tele did it for other ergonomic or economic reasons. All of their tones would have sounded better with an ES-175's neck pickup. But then it depends on how you like your jazz tone.
