well said Philly Q, but allow me to add a little: w00t?Les pauls were always more jazzy guitars, and strats are so generic you just can't turn up to a gig without being laughed off stage.
Eh? :?
pfft thats Jim roots problem, I can get his sound from stock 52 pickups ;), I joke
les pauls are pretty well traveled too so I'm told, but I'll confess,
I don't like strats, flame away :p
I have sex with mine.
Well I can tell you this: there's no other guitar that makes you look like a total and utter queer like a telecaster.
Sure, there are some that get close, but I've never, ever, EVER seen anyone playing a tele that doesn't look like a) a c**t and b) a spiffingly flamboyant gentleman.
So yeah, there's plenty you can't do on a telecaster, but it's what you can't avoid doing that you should be worried about.

I've had a lot of guitars and sold them all apart from my telecaster... which i will never sell.. says a lot about that guitar.

I used to have the opinion that Telecasters where the reserve of country pickin chicken f*#kin faggot's.
That is until one day I got smashed outta my head, walked into a guitar shop, saw one picked it up, played it for an hour or so, and ended up buying it. Now if that guitar would have been candy pink with the words Barbie emblazoned all over it I still would of bought it. it just felt so damn right.
I use it a lot for brutal punk type stuff, that crunch sound I get on chords, similar to the sound of breaking glass shards
underneath a hognail boot grinding into a hard concrete floor can only be truly replicated with a Telecaster.
True if you haven't broken your fingers in on a Tele they can feel as if you are playing a lolly pop stick with strings on.
Versatility wise, they have enough weight in them to be used as a club, or a cricket bat if your that way inclined.
But it sill can't give me a b@#*wjob.
I wish I knew how to do chicken picken - does this make me a wanna be faggot?

Seeing as you actually own tele, and have been seen in public with it, I suspect that Roo is probably scratching his head wondering "how can someone be a wanna be faggot... if they're a fully-qualified, card-carrying faggot already?" :lol:

metallers are quick to rip the pi*ss out of country-picking, but its a really tough style to play.

John 5 seems to be ok with it.

country music is one thats tough to get into, its a sound we're not raised on and it sounds more than a little alien, but give it a chance and there is some great stuff if you scratch beneath the surface.
I had 4 faggots tonight, other half got them and in and warmed 'em for me. They didn't taste of c--k...
Holy cow.
I go on holiday for a few weeks and get back to this?
Well I've never liked country stuff, I almost exclusively play punk and metal with a telecaster, but I do wish I could play a few of those licks as an intro to exaggerate the "spiffingly flamboyant gentleman" image before we break into the usual apalling screamo noise
The stock Tele bridge sounds huge for downtuned metal, more snarly and not mushy like my humbucker guitars, and I only use one pedal- an boss DS-1, not exactly the perfect recipe for a metal sound but it just works somehow.

It's Ritchie Kotzen recipy too.

I think his sig model has a Chopper T (humbucker) in the bridge position. He might use stock Teles in the studio though, I don't know.
I'm playing my tele (JA-90) quite a lot at the moment. I'm getting a great crunchy rock sound out the stock P90's in it. Can be a bit noisey... but it's worth it :)
What's worse - a pink non-tele, or a sunburst/black/metallic Tele?
I saw a very nice one of those the other day, in a natural finish. It's an extremely cool design, I wish it had a bigger neck!

Yeah, the only thing I'd change, given a choice, would be to have a 25 1/2" scale on it instead of the 24 3/4" it has.
set neck on a tele? SACRILEGE!!!
whatever next? humbuckers? light gauge strings?

Roo doesn't know what's good for him. He'll see the light eventually, then we'll never hear from him again.
A telecaster cannot, and will not ever, appeal to Roo.
that bulbous monster!
Having said all that I still think the headstock looks like the end of a dogs d!ck.
Or some sort of prod a farmer would use to artificially inseminate a cow with,shame about that.

One thing a Tele cant do, and thats for certain.
It can't impress Roo.
If anyone has some cool CAD software, can they grab a picture of Roo's WezV creation and morph it into a telecaster? I'd like to see at which point Roo is physically sick.
:lol: Very clever!
That's awesome! Wez should definitely nick the in-between design!!!
:lol:
