Can a Telecaster be used for metal?

[Beyond Black]

Metal isn’t a guitar shape, just like a cowboy hat doesn’t make you country and a haircut doesn’t make you a punk.

But male pattern baldness will make you a skinhead.

Interesting!

Can anyone tell why Tele pickups are usually angled? The design choice intrigues me, especially for an old school guitar.

Just a design choice by Leo Fender, helps get a more balanced tone.

Odds are he first wound the pickup to the best of his ability at the time, felt it was unbalanced, so then started angling it to get it brighter/darker.

Because the original Tele pup came off the fender lapsteel, and it didn’t fit the tele so he turned it till it did fit.
