So I finally got myself a Tele. She's a 2012 American standard in black with a rosewood board. Paid $600 cdn!! Why the hell didn't I but one of these years ago!! Killer guitar with tons of great tones. Didn't know what I was missing... Already wrote a new tune on her as well... Attachments:

Sweet!
I was a Strat guy for many, many years, but I got bit by the Tele bug six or seven years ago and now I have 5 of the suckers and my Strats are lonely (and dusty).
Cheers,
Geoff

Sweet! I was a Strat guy for many, many years, but I got bit by the Tele bug six or seven years ago and now I have 5 of the suckers and my Strats are lonely (and dusty). Cheers, Geoff School me my friend! Why 5? Uh, cuz I like Teles? They're all partscasters, and they're all different. Truth be told I wanted a Les Paul but couldn't afford it. Going the partscaster route let me drop a couple hundred or whatever on a body one month, pickups a couple months later etc. And the first one was such a great guitar I just kept going. My first one was a butterscotch blackguard - going for that early 50s look and standard Tele sound. So, ash body, maple neck, but modern wiring and a four way switch. The next one was 60s Tele Custom styled - alder body, bound, sunburst, rosewood board. Bucker in the neck, overwound bridge. It's my rawk machine. The next one was an Esquire. Huge neck. Triple tapped pickup. The next one was a Broadcaster. So similar in looks to the first one, but reliced and the bridge pickup is a bit hotter. The last one was a mahogany thinline with an ebony fretboard and P90s. Do I need more? Hmmm, I don't have one with a Bigsby, or a B-bender, and the ones with Gretsch style pickups could be cool and ... So, that's my story!

Cheers, Geoff |

Cheers, Geoff Cool! I'd be interested in a Tele with humbuckers and a maple neck to see what it sounded like. |

I am one who used to have the mistaken opinion that the Tele was not a versatile guitar. How wrong I was. It took me a little while to appreciate them but they're now my favorites....There are tones and a vibe you just can't get with another guitar. Everyone should have 3 or 4 of them  |

Versatile is a great way to describe them.It's funny how the dead simplest design yields some of the best tones around.
