I know we all come from a variety of differnt styles around here so I thought it would be interesting to know some the prefered amps you guys play your teles through.
List as much detail as you like.
CIJ '52 w/GFS P90 neck and GFS 60's Alnico bridge through Fender Blues Dlx (for overdrive=modded TS-9)
"I don't play no cords."
-B.B. King
MIJ 50s Tele through Pro Jr. (US made tweed version with AlNiCo speaker).
Crunch heaven!
bill crook custom tele with marshall tube and boss blues driver pedal
Blackguard relic Esquire clone with ash body and Fralin High Output bridge straight into a BF Princeton Reverb with mid-control mod and 12" ceramic Weber Blue Dog.
MIJ '62 RI with GFS "cool vintage" Lil' Punchers through a TS9 RI into a blackfaced '71 Vibrolux Reverb.
72 thinline and 73 standard tele through 66 Super Reverb is tops.
Usually gig with 64 Deluxe reverb for convenience though (still a killer rig, but without the headroom and bottom thump possible with the Super)
G&L Tribute ASAT Classic straight into my Vox VR15
If I shoot at mimes, should I use a silencer?
CS Nocaster into a Ceasar Diaz Texas Ranger....plugged into a Low Power Vicky!
'03 American ash tele modded with 3 Kinman pickups into a '76 Deluxe Reverb with JJ tubes and a Weber 12F150 speaker. I use a Fulldrive 2 and/or Bad Monkey for overdrive.
s'all goof.
My MIM Tele..
Indoors: Epi Valve Jr. Head into a Marshall 1965 Cab.
Outdoors: Ampeg V4 (nonmaster) into an SWR 1 x 15 cab.
Tons of diversity! Thanks guys...keep 'em coming.

2004 MIM Nashville Deluxe Tele through TS9, SD1, and Dan-Echo through a Vox AC-15.
"I'm gonna find myself a girl
that can show me what laughter means
And we'll fill in the missing colors
In each other's paint-by-number dreams..."
05 American Deluxe tele straight through to my homebuilt Princeton.
If, at first you don't succeed, don't try skydiving.
Two leaps per chasm is fatal!
Anyone out there play a John-5 tele thru a Fender MH-500 Metalhead?

I like my Tele through my Delta Blues or my tall Univox just fine.
But the sweetest was an amp I don't own-
a 64 White Knob Princeton.

"Yes, they're real"
Is there a situation where that sentence doesn't send me over the moon...? I'm thinking not!

Vibrolux Reverb
No neck, no problem
My favorite combo is my 1950/1951 Broadcaster and my 1957 Fender bandmaster.
Hey....have you got pics of Broadcaster!
No pictures. I don't own a digital camera (or, for that matter, even a cell phone). I will see if I can borrow one, but then someone needs to direct me on how to post the images.
04 Am Tele, rosewood neck, and Vibro King
Howdy folks, sorry, maybe 'folk' is not an accepted word on here!
Howdy pickers,
I am just gittin' into the Fender world. I just got a MIM Nashville Tele and a '96 "American Made" Hot Rod Deville 4X10 and so far this is my favorite setup. But hey, I am just getting started.
A quick question. I am sure this has been beat to death, but is there anything that I can do about the hum I get playing direct through the PA. I am in a worship band at our church and people are constantly griping about my noisy pickups.
Thanks and look forward to learning more about the Telecaster!
Dan
1) Play in the middle position with both pickups on
2) Find a quiet place to stand and don't move
3) Dial back on the tone pot
4) Turn the volume down between tunes
5) Use a higher quality guitar lead cable
6) Take it to a tech and ask him how much to 'shield' the pickups
7) ...get a humbucker guitar!
Early 2000 Nocaster with the hot bridge pickup likes these amps: 1956 Supro Comet, 1959 Fender Deluxe, 1964 BFDR--and even the Komet & Marshall!
Teles seem to "like" a wider variety of amps than other guitars, no?
Or maybe I'm biased...

Here's my rather unusual combination, Heavy Relic CS Tele with neck HB through a Mesa Boogie Mark IV combo!
Dimarzio Virtual Vintage - hum cancelling Pups.
