There are several, but I absolutely love Roy's playing.

Re: whose your favorite telecaster player?
another vote for George Harrison right here!
I'm also going to have to go with Tom Morello because his unconventional use of the Tele's twang is just delicious.
...and Joe Strummer...because he's Joe Strummer and plays a Tele, that's why!

Re: whose your favorite telecaster player?
Even though he plays a strat as much as a tele, Reggie Young has to be one of my all time fav's. And, in no particular order....
Cornell Dupree
Eric Gale
Steve Cropper
Steve Warnier
Nokie Edwards
Albert Collins
Albert Lee
Roy B
Vince Gill

I'd like to add one to my first post. I was thinking about it in the bath. Muddy Waters deserves an honourable mention.

Tom Morello. Some of my favorite RATM songs were done with his stock American Telecaster ("Killing In The Name", "Born Of A Broken Man", "Take The Power Back", "Wake Up", "Freedom") and he's always been a major influence on my guitar playing.

Re: whose your favorite telecaster player?
I'm glad someone finally mentioned Jimmy Bryant, who was perhaps the first Tele player and an awesome one at that. So many geat players have opted for a Tele, as the listings above attest. Some of the new country guys are outstanding, as is Alvin Youngblood Hart from down here in Memphis.
Danny Gatton was amazing, but he wears me thin in a hurry. I prefer Roy Buchanan's early Polydor work for pure tone, and Jimmy Page's tone and note selection on Stairway remains special despite the song being played to death. And you can't say enough about the rhythm playing and fills of Keith Richards and Steve Cropper. But in the end, I'd have to say that my favorite Tele player is Albert Collins. I can't think of any guitarist who has done more with fewer frets than the Iceman.
