Show Off Your TELECASTERS!!!

[phil_104]

It happens to us all eventually - I fought it for as long as I could, but sooner or later every guitarist must own a Tele. It's The Law.

I know. It's like it's stronger than me, there is something about that guitar. This thread was just the last push i needed.

Especially if you want to rock...you can't rock unless at least one of your guitars is a tele

I must say, this has to be the best thread I've ever started!! SOOOOOOOOOO many sexy guitars. Keep 'em coming. Phil: I can't wait to see what you acquire, and I'm sure it'll add nicely to your LP (and the start of your single-cut collection).

I play my Tele for ska and punk, but I can pull off any style on it. They simple guitars that can do everything. Plus, once you back off the volume slightly and roll down the tone about half way (or more) that bridge pickup gets thick as all get-out!!

cheers to all the Tele owners, or anyone who reads this post (as it is St. Pattys Day!)

Not sure - would have to go and listen to some Albert Collins first - care to suggest a track or two I could get from the iTunes Store?

Hi,

I'm not sure about what you can and can't get on iTunes (never used it).

My favorites are:
The Moon Is Fool - his tone there actually drove me to play guitar. The Robert Cray solo in the middle also helped.
Avalanche
Hooked on You
Iceman - the sound on YouTube isn't great but here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihvvf1R_vWo
Light's Are On, But Nobody's Home


Many claim his tone comes from the combination of the Tele bridge and the bucker in the neck - but if you look at clips the switch is mostly on the bridge pickup.

Man I already have 3 single cuts with my godins, but the tele will be a nice touch.

Great looking guitars guys, hopefully I can post a picture of mine by the end of the day.

Busy downloading them at the moment.

Pretty sure royal mail have lost my telecaster neck so I cant finish it.

[timccart]

Just got this today. Pics don't do it justice. Nicer than expected. MIM.

DazH: I can see playability being a problem on that Tele right now!!

[DazH]

It's completely stock, short of the brass saddles and modern wiring right now. I do have a Fralin Blues Special bridge pickup that's tempting but I haven't had the urge to change it.

[supazar]

Nothing sweeter than a Tele with binding!

[formula73]

Both Japanese. Man, I miss the Lawrence Swampkaster T. I never should have sold that **** thing.

Now how many of you guys are getting involved in the forum pickup poll? The winner so far is a Strat neck pickup, I guess you guys don't really like Teles that much...

That spalted top is awesome.

[Juanhanglo]

Thanks Rocks! I found it in their showcase (Thrift shop at the time) unfinished. I was like "Whoa!" when it arrived finished. I've yet to see as much flame on a spalt top.

I had a maple neck on it for a while, looked better that was about it. Mahog/ebony fatback is on there currently.

That's what I was thinking. There's all this Telecaster excitement at these forums this year, so I was expecting the new forum pickup to be a Telecaster pickup. If it ends up being a Stratocaster pickup, I may consider sticking it into my Telecaster anyways.
