I have several of the American original series in different colors. Something about burgundy mist that sounds softer and sweeter than 3 tone sunburst, and my fiesta red one sounds spicier and hotter than my cool/cold sounding lake placid blue one. My sunburst one sounds more… uhhhh… sunburtsy! 😂 In all seriousness, I think if the different color inspires you and takes you to a different vibe than it’s worth it if you can afford it. If not, sometimes just changing something like bridge saddle material will change the look and the tone!

@@erickmo1188 great now I need a sunbursty tele! 🤣🤣🤣 I agree sometimes a different color can inspire you to play....I always change my bridge & saddles the heavier guage steel bridge is a noticeable difference for sustain and I really like the gotoh compensated saddles.... I have a tele in the shop now for a full setup, I put the wilkinson wt3 bridge on it, 1st one of those on a tele for me. I bought a Suhr classic T and the intonation is absolutely perfect....well really the whole guitar is perfect, but it has that wilkinson bridge....interested to see how the telecaster sounds when I pick it up next week

Telecaster is just simple and beautiful. It's also so versatile. The players that got my attention to Telecaster was Muddy Waters and Keith Richard. However Richie Kotzen is the player that made me realize it's not just a blues guitar.

For years and years I stayed away from Teles. Just didn't jive with the sound. But since seeing your videos and others, I have seen how really verstile they are. What pushed me over the edge is they rythm guitar player on the worship team. He has a modded tele and, after hearing that, I was won over. Now, my "the one" guitar is the Lari Basillio Ibanez Signature T-Style. I never thought I would ever be saying that. The one thing that I hear over all the tele's is the attack while on the bridge pickup. Love it.

I wish I had a whole other lifetime and music career to use it. It is the only electric that I play. I do have a Strat pickup in the neck and a DiMarzio (what ever Richie Kotzen uses) bridge. Big Chunky Neck with Jumbo Frets 9 1/2 Radius... I Love It!

The Tele really is a workhorse of a guitar - it can play so many different genres of music and can handle any pedal thrown at it.

I found that wiring my 4 way tele switch a little differently than their wiring suggestion is a little more intuitive. I wired it so position 4 is the neck and the hum would be 3. That way, the quick swap to neck only is as simple as a normal tele.

I bought a Mex Fender Special Edition Tele a few years ago. Less than $500 on-line, no case, in butterscotch, with a black guard. I had previously bought a USA model with some kind of custom shop PUs and returned it after 2 days. So I bought this one thinking I would trick it out with custom PUs, etc. but ended up leaving it just as it is. I have been blown away by this thing. I play it at home, mostly jazzy stuff direct into a 65 Deluxe RI, and although I have a couple of old vintage Gibsons, and a 70s Strat for some reason I seem to always end up playing the Tele. I love this thing!

I have a lot of guitars that I love, but a good tele just feels like home. I do a fair bit touring & fly dates where I can only bring one guitar - and will gate check it for the most part. A tele in a mono case (or some other flight case) is just about the only guitar you can trust to always survive that situation. Shit you can even take the neck off and pack the entire thing in your suitcase if you really wanted to!

A few years back my mate presented me with his old Tele, heavily modded early 70s, and asked me if I could rig a 5-way for it. Not TOO difficult I thought ... but this one had/has four knobs. I racked my brain trying to figure out a switching diagram that would work. I was, actually on the phone to him explaining that it couldn’t be done AND keep the four knob setup When I had that lightbulb moment. Even with a 4-bank SuperSwitch it wasn’t easy but I got it to work in the end. Neck, Both Series, Both Parallel, Both Reverse Phase, Bridge - I think that was the order IIRC. It took me ages to finish too cos I had had to move house in the middle of doing it. When he eventually got it back, he loved it, Mercifully … Phew

I never thought so until, just recently, I got a Vintera 50s modified tele with S1 switch, which gives you a Peter Green style pinched tone. I spent a few hours getting it set up, but it's so clear and really cuts without being shrill or spiky. Took a while to get used to playing it, but once I did, it became my go-to.

I rescued a Tele from a shop a few years back, as I never owned one bfore, it was cheap, needed a bit of work and it was cream coloured, which is probably my favourite colour for Strats and Teles. It was an Aria Pro II 615 and it played so nicely that when I saw a new one in a local shop a while later, I had to buy it. It now sits alongside me in the lounge and is my go-to guitar for noodling and learning new stuff. For £140 UK I have yet to play a better feeling Tele in any shop

I fell in love with a Tele with a solid rosewood neck. I added a middle Strat pickup thinking it would be a Strat/Tele hybrid satisfying my Strat needs. I kind of ruined the Tele playing mentality so I took out the middle pickup and reverted back to the simplicity of the three way. I love it but it’s not my number one gig guitar.

I think the modern cliche take that the tele is the most versatile guitar is an over reaction to the antiquated take that tele is more suited to country music. Obviously it is versatile, but isn’t the most versatile, in my opinion. Something like a super strat with the option to coil split and with a vibrato bridge can do lots of things that a tele can’t.

In a sense you are correct. But I think the point is more something as basic as a Telecaster with single coils can pretty much do everything. It’s a great reminder that it’s more about the player than it is the guitar. I have guitars more capable of a variety of sounds, guitars that are more comfortable to play, guitars with vibratos, guitars with thick sounding humbuckers that just sound Metal AF with the right distortion... I mostly just grab one of my Telecasters. So in a sense they are my most versatile guitars, because I use them for a range of things, rather than a specific thing.

Then Jonny Greenwood, and actually all the Radiohead guitarists as a group solidified it's place in modern indie rock. Joe Duplantier (Gojira), and Jerry Cantrell (Alice in Chains) before him, for metal. Plus Tom Morello, again making use of that great drop tuning sounds, that Keith Richards really made the Telecaster his voice. Country, blues but also funk and soul has so many great Telecaster players.

Maybe telepathy exists… these days I was thinking: I should buy a Telly.. but which one? (I don’t want spend a lot of money, no glossy fingerboard, no big C shape neck…decent pick ups.. any suggestions? I’m not interested in series/parallel..4 way switch..just a good sounding twanging basic Telly).

Danish Pete @Andertons constantly bigs-up his Tele. I think he says it's extremely versatile - you can play anything with a decent Tele. Aren't there supposed to be a lot of records made using Tele' that we think of as Les Paul tracks? There's a vid on YT: 'the guitar that sold a million Les Pauls, but isn't one'
