Some good info

How does anyone listen to Danny Gatton, or Robben Ford, and not "get" the Telecaster?

Danny sounded just as good on his Gibson's. He played a black LP Custom, a gold ES-295, and a blonde ES-350.

I can not play one and can't look at it either without cringing. But in the hands of Jeff Beck or Kotzen they sound great, just like any other guitar they have ever played. It's not the player, it's the guitar that's the problem.

Brad Paisley copes. Not trying to stir s**t. Just saying.

P.S. I looked up Kotzen. Wow. Killer licks.

John Jorgenson, Jerry Donahue. The Tele hits just keep on coming.

While he was mostly known for archtops (and his birthday was yesterday), Steve Howe's Tele sound is one of my favorite guitar sounds overall.

He uses a modified Tele with a real PAF in the neck connected out of phase with the bridge.

I need to buy that album again. It's been in my head for days.

Guitar-wise, Steve Howe is on fire for the whole thing.
