1000 reasons why the tele is the best guitar ever
Moderator: bclaire
Please add your reasons below
1. Can have the meanest and also the sweetest tone
2. There are many bad sounding les pauls and a few bad sounding strats, but i have never played a bad sounding tele
3. If your coverband plays johnny cash, muddy waters, rage against the machine and marilyn manson, you still only need THAT one guitar
4. No vibrato/tremolo
5. Was the first and is still the coolest
6. They where never Mainstream like the Strat or Les Paul
7. You only get to know how good your Orange sounds when you plug your Tele in

<br />Don't get me wrong. I love my Telecaster, but I still need/want more than one tool in my toolbox too.

Very true, I would never give up my Strat or Flying V...[:p][:p][:p]

A few reasons why Teles aren't perfect:
1. They don't have a middle pickup
2. They can hum too much
3. Most don't have wang bars
A few reasons why Strats aren't perfect:
1. Some people just don't want a 3rd pickup
2. They can hum too much
3. Who needs a stinkin wang bar?
A few reasons why Les Pauls and SGs and 335s etc. aren't perfect:
1. They don't have 3 pickups
2. Some are too damn heavy
3. Humbuckers don't sound as good as single coils
4. Most don't have wang bars
In short....ain't no perfect guitars...not perfect for everyone.

I am going through a Strat phase right now. But I think if I had to have one guitar for all of my life, it would be a 52 RI tele. I would miss that bridge pup. Mean, spanky, chimey.

All guitars should have Jazzmaster tremolo.
