???????????????????????????????

You can get exactly the same tone by rolling back the tone a smidge on a strat . . . but then you'll also have nice sounds when you roll the tone back up. But I'm also with Mincer. For smokey jazz type sounds, a low output neck humbucker does it better.

Lots of folks like those things.... but in my humble opinion, it's the Ugliest guitar ever made, second is the strat.... I would have to switch to the bass. Because **** ugly guitars! Ha ha ha

I'd put the reverse V about on par with a tele.

Yep. I love my Teles and my Les Pauls, but if I had to make do with just one a Tele would be fine.

My anemic jingle jangle machine has a DiMarzio Super Distortion in the bridge.

The telecaster is the guitar I've always wanted to love but have never gotten on with. Just sold my tele the other day to fund another purchase.

I don't know exactly what my problem is with the design. I like strat necks, and the tele is more or less the same. I like single cut les pauls. somehow the combo of the neck and body just doesn't work for me.

I've also never been a fan of the hot bridge/quiet neck combo.

Other people do amazing things with teles. Just not me.

It's funny how this is a forum of modders, but this is the only thread where we want to keep things stock.

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.

You can get exactly the same tone by rolling back the tone a smidge on a strat . . . but then you'll also have nice sounds when you roll the tone back up. But I'm also with Mincer. For smokey jazz type sounds, a low output neck humbucker does it better.

It’s a matter of opinion

I prefer P90s. But I won’t say they are better, just that I prefer them.

[Insert any guitar here] is the only guitar you need, as long as it is comfortably playable and reliable, you have an amp that provides you with a wide tonal palette, and you are a good musician.

We buy tons of guitars because we want them, not because we need them.

I still think you're going to have one hell of a time playing instrumental shred on a 12 fret nylon string acoustic with built in mic.

Re: A Telecaster is the ONLY electric guitar you need

I might be able to hang with a Tele with modifications. I need a tummy cut. forearm cut, stratty bridge, and 2 humbuckers. So it can be done for me. But by that point, no need to stick with a Tele.

If I was stranded on an island and all I had was a stock telecaster I certainly would not turn it down.

But agree with mincer to the point that I'd vote for a standard strat. More tonal versatility, better feel, whammy bar and yep that tele neck pickup doesn't do much on its own.

Now if you handed me a Nashville tele that have been routed for a firebird in the neck

Well then, Dave, I guess you just can't do it. I respect your choice to go Cello.

Mike Stern could....
