it's more meaningful replying here...
i can't help but think of the late Danny 'The Humbler' Gatton every time 'telecaster' is mentioned. if this is your first encounter with all things Danny Gatton, check out his outstanding 88 Elmira Street release & you'll here why Mr. Gatton is a master of his tool. i still enjoy the SImpsons track in there tremendously...
if you are old enough (like me), you'd remember this serial on tv 'TWIN PEAKS'- Danny wrote the tune for that one. respect...

Danny is a great player, check out a lot of Jimmy Page work which is on Tele's. Albert Collins etc etc. I just bought a new USA Deluxe with S-1 Switching-great guitar with Tele normal sounds but with aditional ability to series/parralel for a really fat sound. Well finished and with abalone inlays.
I swapped to Strats for afew years but after playing a few Tele's recently, Ihave now converted back to them-there i just a sound they get that no other guitar can get, try playing blues with a Tele though a TS9 -wow!

i'm trying to erase the tele-country association. the tele is good for anything & everything you throw at it, it's just a matter of acceptance. i know i love my tele to bits & it doesn't have a tinge of country to it either...

nah... tele doesn't have more punch/ crunch than strat. i has a generic honk that the strat can't do. the strat on the other hand, twangs beyond the tele spectrum.

Thats interesting, for my part, I never liked the tele Neck and kept swapping it out for a strat Neck matched with a strat Middle.
Kinda like the image below except I had the guitar built in Thailand ( o yeah, and mine had the normal 3 saddle bridge unlike the one in the image).

the tele neck pickup can do jazz better than a strat, that's what i feel having owned both...

JM, is that your Anderson or just a random pic? Is your custom made guitar by NNG?

Besides Danny Gatton, don't forget other telemeisters like Roy Buchanan and Muddy Waters.
Thinking of building a Fiesta Red tele with Warmoth parts. Complete with Brazilian rosewood. Hee.. :twisted:
