Drak Posted July 16, 2005 Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 I think the inherant understanding of a typical SC-powered Telecaster comes with time and maturity, it is not a 'candy coated' guitar like a Stratocaster is, you have to stretch yourself, open yourself up, you have to grow and understand, to learn the magic of a Tele. And wear cowboy boots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sepultura999 Posted July 16, 2005 Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 (edited) Easy there Pope Drak the first of the teles I haven't actually tried a "real" tele, but I will, I promise you. I do love the tele shape, however the headstock has to go imo. I am planning a build in the next few weeks (my first ever), and it's going to be a telecaster, "And then Drak said to sepultura999 - thy will be done!" I mean telecaster shaped *ducks* -Jamie Edited July 16, 2005 by sepultura999 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drak Posted July 16, 2005 Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 Hey, uh Pope Drak: is it still a tele with a belly contour? You are dancing with the devil on that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marksound Posted July 16, 2005 Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 I like the original prototype headstock too. Not very distinctive, but elegant in its simplicity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sepultura999 Posted July 16, 2005 Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 (edited) If that's the original I am sold. Looks like it could compete against the les paul, if it isn't already. The headstock isn't that bad when I look at Idch, however I am not a fan of maple, and I think it needs to be a bit wider. -Jamie Edited July 16, 2005 by sepultura999 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jester700 Posted July 16, 2005 Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 I think they're butt ugly & uncomfortable. The Strat body was an improvement in every way. The Tele SOUND is something else again, and I always wondered why not sell a 3 pup strat but with tele bridge and neck pups. You'd have the country sounds covered.

DrummerDude Posted October 3, 2005 Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 Yes, I do like them. Actually I am completely Telecaster-crazy at the moment. Used to hate Telecasters back in the days when Metal preferences dictated me that if a guitar is not poity as hell, then it's not worth having it. Now I know how wrong I was. Telecasters rule.

Hasa Posted October 9, 2005 Report Share Posted October 9, 2005 I haven't played many tele's, but from my little experience of playing them (all of about half an hour), I'd have to say that I'm not entirely sure if I like them lots, or just as another guitar to play. Some of those tele's with flame tops look pretty cool, but as I said before I haven't played them enough to say whether or not I would go out and buy one. They look and feel good, but I'm just gonna have to play them some more before I make up my mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenHill Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 Telecasters are really cool... Prince played one, how cool is that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
