Is a Fender Tele anything to get excited about ?

[Meanjoegreene]

As long as someone out there is doing YouTube boutique pedal demos on a deluxe reverb reissue the telecaster will remain a player on the guitar landscape…and I have a modded 3 pickup Alvarez copy that’s pretty cool

I have always liked the tele shape. Perhaps that came from Waylon Jennings playing one during the Dukes of Hazzard intro. I don't like the pickup selector switch positioning, but Stew Mac and others have replacement plates with angled slots. My American tele has a crazy thin neck and is a very comfortable guitar to play, but i like higher gain stuff. I may replace the bridge pickup with a Super Distortion T.

Not in my world..
I think rockers look lame with a Tele.. LOL
Strap on a Baritone with fat strings plugged straight into an amp.. That's exciting..

So in your world this looks lame?

Thanks for that. I didn't know what I was or what to do, but you set me straight. And with such class.

That's right.. Take the Liberal high road because you're above it all.

'Not flip flopping for you self righteous fucks because I hurt your feeling. People have opinions that are different from yours..
Fuck a Tele.. They suck..
Old ass shit played by people treading over the same ground..

Just bought a Squier 60s Custom Esquire, in black. Incredible piece of guitar for an amazing price. So yes, I get very excited about Teles.

My #1. It's a 97 American Ash Tele. Completely stock, had it 20 years and I'll never get rid of it. It just has something special.
