Re: If you could have one guitar...
I voted for the Tele. I currently have a Les Paul and a Strat, and there is another Les Paul on its way to me as we speak, but I've owned a Tele before, and played quite a few. They are incredibly versatile, and beautiful in their simplicity. If I had to limit myself to one guitar for life I know a Tele could cover all the styles I'm likely to want to play. As soon as Mrs_F forgets the new Les Paul I'm gonna be Tele hunting again. :32:
