Agree...playing for decades....bought/sold dozens of guitars....mostly humbuckers.....then...1 year ago...rediscovered the Tele and have acquired 6 of my 8 in the last 6 months...selling off Strats, Eastman, LTD's, D'Angelico, Gibson, and others. Got an LSL TBoneOne last month...getting my first CS Fender tomorrow...used '61 in shell pink. I can still play and enjoy classic rock, AC/DC, etc...with a Tele...sure can...all in the hands....and pedals. Been doing some crazy schiff too....droppeld a used set of Suhr Classic T pups into my Harley Benton, reversed the bridge (lefty to a righty)...sounds bright but very nice.

I have a 2014 American Standard Tele in Jade Green Metallic (maple neck). Always played an SG until I got the Tele. I absolutely love the simplicity and stability of it, and I don't care what some people say, they are sexy and versatile guitars. Seems like a lot of Strat players chastise Teles for being "too twangy", as if they are only for country music. They couldn't be more wrong.

I love that color, I remember when Fender took a chance with that run of american standards color wise they are gorgeous. They can say it's too "twangy" all they want, if they want to play with any sort of gain on the bridge that strats gonna need a humbucker or it's going to be paper thin haha

Even within this one type of guitar, there are so many (too many) options! I've got decision fatigue. I'm down to spend some money. But I'm afraid I'll spend 1k+ in time just looking for one. What are all the things to consider? C, D, V-shaped necks... bridge choices... tuning machines... wood... - I'd love to hear someone break all of these down.

They really can do it all. Too twangy? Roll back the tone knob. Use that switch down there. Adjust your amp. Learn to play dynamically. Swap a different, bluesier type pickup. Get a humbucker. Get a 3 pickup Nashville tele. After that, there's really nothing else to tweak.

with a bit of nuance and know how you can get away with playing any style on a tele, and i have 2 of them, and for the little that it has incredibly versatile, however my japanese ibanez AZ has a more comfortable body with access to everything, a contoured neck heel, 24 stainless steel frets locking tuners, and 10 tones that will get it to sound like anything very easily, which makes it my gigging guitar now, but i enjoy playing my teles at home

While I really love Les Pauls, I do also adore a good telecaster. And like Les Pauls, there a variety of telecasters. It takes some searching to find the right flavor. I recently scored a used Fender deluxe tele from Dave's Guitar. This 2015 model, not be confused with a tele deluxe, preceded the elite/ultra series. It has a compound radius, locking tuners, modern saddles, and the original owner added Lindy Fralin pickups.

Tele's are the best all-around most versatile guitar on the market. I was totally against them simply because of the look until I played one. I was sold after upgrading a Squier and later purchased a Fender Tele. You want Jazz? Funk? Rock? Country? Progressive? It'll do it all and do it VERY well. Sweep picking on a Tele is like magic in your fingers!!!

I currently have a pink Harley Benton that needs pups bad, a Fender American Pro that i friggen love but its not a true tele because its an offset, a Fender Baja Tele that i have never gotten along with but it does sound great and then the Furrian, not the easiest playing guitar but it also sounds great!

Everyone has a different taste and that is good or else we will be all clones. I personally don't like the look of the tele, and too girly (shape not colour). The Strat has the best look to me. Anyway the look is secondary. The Feel, playability, stability and sound are decisive. BTW the fender tele was created for the workers and for the not so wealthy. Now its an expensive instrument. Are there any good teles form other brands notably Japanese that at as good but notably cheaper (and maybe a bit better looking)? I love Japanese guitars from Ibanez and Yamaha. I love their flat necks suitable for people with small palms and shorter fingers while American guitars have thicker necks for longer fingers and huge palms like bear claws..

I would not say the CS was the best tele i've ever played or owned, it was a really good guitar but not the best. If I ever found a non relic'd actually vintage spec'd CS i'd be happy to try it but this wasn't my favorite ever telecaster. Nash guitars are a strange one, they don't actually make their own stuff (bodies, necks, electronics, hardware ) and are just partscasters from other builders that have then been finished, aged then set up by Nash. A few years ago they were much more reasonably priced - these days I don't see much value to them.

Not trying to burst your bubble jim but i still don't own and have no desire to own a Telecaster. I have tried a few, from Fender and other brands, but only one came close and sadly it was damaged so i never bought it. I agree that if you want a bullet proof workhoarse then only a Telecaster will withstand constant abuse and still play. Any guitar with a Trem no matter how good has an instant weak spot, they are a pain to change strings on even in a well lit room, electronics access is poor, and if you overuse the trem at some point it will give you problems. But despite all of this, i still prefer S shaped guitars. Each to their own.
