I don't care what Roo says...

[Twinfan]

..Tele's are fecking fantastic  :D

I've just been noddling around on my 'distinctive' (ahem) relic through my Martamp Deluxe, and I don't care if:

* it makes me attractive to men
* the bulbous bit causes offence to hobbits
* I pull stupid sex faces when I'm gigging

If I can only grab one guitar as the house is burning down, I'm getting more and more convinced that this is what I'd rush to save.

So to Roo, up yours!

While I'm a Les Pual man myself, I have to say, Tele's sound awsome, nothing else like 'em.

You got Blackguards in that? If not I suggest a set, they make a tele sound more like a tele than a... um.... tele?

[Bradock PI]

I see you turned to the side ashamed to show that T-shirt logo with such an abomination in your hands.

ashamed to show his own bands t-shirt.... that would be odd

I've got the stock Custom Shop pickups in it and I'm changing nothing - they're superb, as is the entire guitar.

:o  Wash your mouth out!!!!  :lol:

[Bradock PI]

Hehe Jking you look like you having fun there !!! How long you had the Tele?

[38thBeatle]

Go for it Dave, heed not what the Roomaster might say.

[Ian Price]

Yeah Dave - I'm in the club. You may well be GASing for an Esquire after the 22nd!!

[Elliot]

AC DC sounds pretty darn good with a tele and a tweed amp - no loss of balls there: in fact, i'd say a tele can out Angus an SG in the right hands (unfortunately not mine!)

[dave_mc]

i like telecasters- i wouldn't want one as my only guitar, but assuming i'm allowed several, i'd have a tele in there.

[Philly Q]

If I can only grab one guitar as the house is burning down, I'm getting more and more convinced that this is what I'd rush to save.

Even before the Modern Eagle?  :o

Not that I'd disagree!


(And assuming Mrs Twinfan has already been carried to safety by Kurt Russell or Saracen off of Gladiators, of course)

[hamfist]

I love the look of a tele. 

THe only problems I have with them are the necks and the poor upper fret access (I need all the help I can get !)

[badgermark]

I think my hacked up mim tele would be what I'd save too. Even though I have a new love for SGs the  tele still feels like a pair of old slippers when it's round my neck.

Plus the ladies think I look sexy when I rock it.

[Twinfan]

Hehe Jking you look like you having fun there !!! How long you had the Tele?

I've had the Tele about 12 months, and every time I get it out of the case to play it I always think it just feels 'right'.  A great Tele is a fantastic instrument that covers lots of ground, as Elliot says.

If I can only grab one guitar as the house is burning down, I'm getting more and more convinced that this is what I'd rush to save.

Even before the Modern Eagle?  :o

If I could grab two, the Eagle would be in my other hand  ;)  There's just something about that Tele for me that makes it irreplacable.  I think any Modern Eagle would be there or thereabouts and easier to replace.

Oh, and Mrs Twinfan would want to be rescued by Jensen Ackles from the TV series Supernatural....

That guy looks a LOT like my friend James! I'm going out with him tonight in fact. Bad luck though Mrs. Twinfan; he's gay!
