I started this thread over a year ago and I have to say that my feeling have run hot and cold when it comes to the Tele. I don't find it visually appealing and its sound is only enjoyable when in...

Here's a start

Have you ever purchased a car and then suddenly you seem to notice that make and model everywhere.

Same is happening with the Tele. I hear more people talk about them, meeting more people that...

Just so the newcomers know, the butt-ugly comment wasn't done in a serious manner. Those that found the guitar unappealing and weren't drawn in commented about it being unattractive. Eventually it...

see someone did it again, gotta go Google.

No need to be sorry, but if you haven't heard I've been living in a cave the last few years. I get on here and people talk about product and use terminology I never heard of, but that's why I'm here...

Thanks. You guys throw stuff out like TDPRI and other terms and/or places and I am clueless. However, I Googled and found it.

DVM, I was curious about that too. I have the three saddle set up and I was thinking that setting intonation would be difficult since two strings occupy one saddle.

This being new to me, I was...

DVM, I'm like you and go for the traditional guitars, no sharp points that take out an eye or section from the groin area:eek:

I have to agree with that. I know there a lot of people that like them, but I'm a more traditional style.

I guess the hammer theory would apply to those too.;)

Did you ever buy another one? I'm not saying no one buys a Tele as their first guitar, but I think they tend to be an acquired taste after some playing on other guitars. IMHO I think of them more...

Wingsdad, a couple of you guys own some very nice Tele's and the G&L's can make converts out of the people that are not Tele fans (I for one have fallen victim). After playing a couple of Fender and...

That's a great way of looking at it. A hammer, is a hammer, but in the hands of someone that appreciates the tool and knows how different hammers provide different results, they can become a...

that was another one of my initial turn offs about the Tele. It needs to incorporated some of the Strat cuts, however I've grown use to the slab and I guess that's part of its character.

Since there were enough comments about the looks of the Tele, I thought the topic deserved it's own thread. The title BUG stirred a little opinion, so I figure let's discuss our view.

Initially I...
