I'm coming off a looong break from the guitar and the obsessiveness that comes with it. My musical focus has changed, so there's some gear that I found needs some swapping. I'm keeping all my guitars, but more and more I'm enjoying the simple joy of the Tele. What a beautiful thing it is.
Tele's rule....:
Simplicity exemplified! I like an Esquire wired like a Les Paul Jr, doesn't get more basic than that.
"don't worry, i'm a professional!"
Yes, I'm coming off a Tele-binge right now & picking up my Strat more & more; but last summer every gig was a Tele gig.
Tele's are the sports cars of guitars, no doubt.
"No harmonic knowledge, no sense of time, a ghastly tone, unskilled vibrato, and so on. Chuck is one of the worst guitar players I know" -Gravity Jim
I've heard it said that the Strat is sexy. I don't ever think "sexy" when I look at a guitar, but I do like the Tele wallflower and say it is as lovely as the sleek Stratocaster. And to sum up the Tele in a few words: twang, growl, snarl, bite, smooth, clean, and nasty.
If we'd known we were going to be the Beatles, we'd have tried harder.--George Harrison
