Look, it's not MY fault that telecasters look sh**. It's not MY fault that people who play them are made to look like ****suckers, whether they are or not!
For what it's worth, that top horn CANNOT affect tone in such a way that no other guitar could make the same noises. That bridge just looks like complete arse, and the stupid stupid stupid plate for the control knobs should have been shot at birth, just like Paul Mctw@tney.
Make a telecaster without the stupid bulbous top horn, the bridge plate thing and that hideous control knob job, and you MIGHT get away without looking like a ****muncher. In the mean time, if you own a guitar with any of those aspects, sorry to break it to you, but you look like a ****er when you play it.
