as much as people who love the tele tone, there cud be equal amount of people who hated the tone. No true or false, just like or dont like. Imho
both my tele using texas special, both sounded different with a maple board and the other a rosewood fretboard. It has the tele tone to me. Extra mod circuit plan provide by Edder, 4 way switching and a push pull pot to get 5 different tone. 2 extra are the series and out of phase series tone. The usual 3 tone still in there. The 2 pu in series sounds thicker and louder, works fine with distortion.
imho.
