Cheers for that Sam.......makes me feel ancient, too! :)

Sorry Alan..... but I'm only 5 years younger than a Tele (how old do I feel!!!)

A no-nonsense guitar, great for anything, a true workhorse, and heard through every genre of music since it was introduced, on some of the best recordings ever!.....they are superb !

(I'll ALWAYS have a Tele)

:up:

I think you're underestimating just how many genres of music there are out there. I can't imagine they'll be used in any form of extreme metal. death/grind/black etc.

The boy from Slipknot uses one - though I'm not sure what category they fall into.

I'm sure there are thooooooosans of music genres and sub-genres, but broadly speaking, the Tele has been used in a wide and diverse range of styles.

As Sam rightly points out, a great versatile, workhorse of a guitar. Jimmy Page used a Lester for pose on stage, but used a Tele quite a lot in recording. It's no secret that the the Stairway solo was recorded on a Tele.

Most guitarists I know have a Tele that they just won't part with.

I would say its a safe bet.....

or can you name one where a Tele hasn't been used ?

I wouldn't bet on it (being a chicken), but I doubt if it's been used much on these...

Barbershop Quartets

Songs of the humpback whale

Russian Orthodox Choral favourites

Gregorian chants

Les Paul fan club music albums

I fucking miss my Telecaster. It was a beautiful machine.

I think someone on here, the singer from Headlight perhaps, now owns it. Jammy git.
