You have to wear a tele LOW to get that sound.

That Tele (Esquire) sounds great!

Wow, loads of clips of some very fine vintage instruments.

-1 for the black nail varnish.

I still thoroughly enjoyed the sound coming out of it, even if it was easy to achieve or not. Good video.

+1; it shows Roo that a Tele can kill too.


Errr.... no it doesn't! It looks more camp than Big Gay Al. The sound isn't killer, although now I'm glad I know what people consider to be "good tele tone" (I never understood this before). Very unimpressed by the clip, and the tone seems really weak, to me: it's got no balls.

Oh, and the tele combined with the nail varnish and flowing locks? This is not a good look ;)

I was in particular responding to the comment that this tone "Kills". There's nothing "killing" about it!!!

Not the sort of tone I like but, I had a quick play on a American Standard Tele yesterday and I'm surprised to say it was awesome.

I used to hate Tele's because I saw so many of the local Emo kids playing them that it really put me off. But this tele had just as much sustain as the Les Paul I played prior to it and was much more comfortable.


Tele's can 'kill'
