That kinks video is seriously what made me buy an electric guitar (that happened to be a telecaster, three years ago )

man...that's a hard looking dude. radd Esquire, yow...i would feel like a wanker playing a blackguard, but it sure looks right on that dude.

other favorite Tele players-

[WeHuntKings]

fuck yeah dylan carlson. one of the best tele sounds out there...though he's got duncan 'buckers and some sort of p90 in his.

I can't help but love how teles look and feel. The best playing guitar I've used is my dad's G&L tele. Unfortunately it sounded pretty bad, but it felt like butter. It was probably the pickups though, as they are the weird P-90 pickups that aren't actually P-90s.
A '72 tele is probably going to be my next guitar though. Or a baritone tele. Or a regular tele.

Those pickups are awesome and I would totally fight you over that.

mine:


Teles are good for all music and I love a lot of other guitars but if I had to pick just one it would be a Telecaster.

I've seen him with at least a couple of different Teles, but yeah...wonder if that toggles between the volume and tone knob is a split-coil kinda thing?

Closer look at his telecaster.

^Fuck I love Swans so much

Not sure about Dylan but that bit of space between the knobs is another great thing about the Tele control plate. That's where I installed a phase switch on mine. Last time I saw Earth I was right up front but didn't actually pay any attention to what was in his guitars.

That Swans dude looks like if Salvador Dali played guitar.

Well, to each their own. They never jazzed with me and my dad agrees. However it's worth keeping for the feel. Compared to his B-Bender, it just lacked bass and mids. Could be an issue with the wiring or something.
No need to fight about it though. I'm sure through the right rig they sound fine.

Holy shit....this dude looks like a younger version of my dad! I need to dig out some pics!

Nah, I don't actually want to fight or anything . I just love the ASAT Special and everyone else I know who's played one thinks they're great. I'd like to get a more traditional tele at some point, but I feel weird having too many guitars around and I've already got more than I need
