Well actually there IS another explanation - I could have been very drunk (not unlikely, as I'd just inherited a large-ish sum of money)...... I want one with a rosewood fretboard but can't seem to find any. Until I read your post I was beginning to think they didn't make any. For the record I don't think Squiers are bad guitars. They are good, just not impressive. I am looking at the Avril Tele with mountainous grains of salt. Speaking of which, the list you posted doesn't mention her.

But, for example, Page left the Tele even when he used for creating one of the most beautiful songs. What did he and also the other players discover in its new main guitars? I mean, they already were very experienced players and one day they changed to a new guitar. Perhaps, you said, they liked the way they felt.

PS. Do you have the Jimmy Page's email? :lol:]]> Opinions and Polls Nuno https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/back-to-the-tele/paged/2/#post-302115 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/back-to-the-tele/paged/2/#post-302114 Sun, 27 Jul 2008 02:35:50 +0000
Why have so many Tele players stuck with them year after year? Why do so many famous guitarists who own a Tele buy more Teles? Ah, it's all part of the great circle of life - why do you pick one guitar over another? Because you like the way it feels, and it sounds, aand it looks.....

Yes, there are other guitars - plenty of them. But if you want a guitar that'll last you the rest of this earthly life, buy a Tele. It'll still be in prime condition long after your grandkids have sold it.....

teles look good, feel good, and boy, do they play good!

As always, just my opinion.....but you'll never find a more versatile guitar.

:D :D :D

But I always have a question in my head and it is why did some great players change to another guitar.

For example, Jeff Beck started with a Tele and it is one of the most famous Tele guitars but currently he plays Strats. Gilmour, you always associate him with the Strat but he also played Tele in the first years with Pink Floyd. Page used a Tele in the studio version of Stairway to heaven. Even Clapton played a Tele in the Blind Faith days although he used a Strat neck (I read he left the Tele in the post-Yardbirds era because he broke a lot of strings and he didn't like the Tele neck).]]> Opinions and Polls Nuno https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/back-to-the-tele/paged/2/#post-302112 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/back-to-the-tele/#post-302108 Sun, 27 Jul 2008 01:20:52 +0000
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telecaster_players

It really is the most versatile guitar there is - is there another guitar on which you can play C&W and Heavy Metal? And everything inbetween?

For me, though, the key item is the maple fretboard - looking back, I'm sure the reason I chose the Squier Tele back in 2005 over the Fenders I tried was the maple fretboard. It's the only explanation that makes sense!

Well actually there IS another explanation - I could have been very drunk (not unlikely, as I'd just inherited a large-ish sum of money)......

But I'm sure I'd have noticed the difference when I sobered up.

Tele + Maple Fretboard = Guitar Heaven.

As always, just MY opinion.......

Maybe cheap quitars are just that...cheap guitars! Yeah the Squier's had a fair bit of playing lately - and yes, it did sound good. It'll probably sound better with new strings on and set up for slide again!

:D :D :D
