I hear you. I have acquired three tele-style guitars over the last couple of years (an SX thinline copy, a Peavey Generation EXP ACM, and a Peavey Generation S-3), and find myself picking them up more often than my other guitars. The S-3 is an especially comfortable guitar to play, very light and the neck fits my hand very well.

I've gotten into a lot of country music recently which may explain my fascination with the teles, and like you, have discovered that teles were used in many more classic rock songs than I realized.
