now, I play, but I'm not very knowledgeable about the mechanics of the guitar itself. I was lookin' at some pictures of Telecasters, and noticed some had 3 pickup's, mine has 2, what does this mean, and why the difference?
Please excuse the ignorance, like I said, I play, and that's about it...

Thanks?
Tessa♥

3 pickup models are either MPs or Nashvilles, if I'm correct. The 2 pickups are standard, blacktop, Thinline, HR 52, etc. The 1 pickup is an Esquire.

AHH! Thanks, I feel really retarded for asking to ask, but if you never ask, you'll never know..

Never feel like a retard for asking a legitimate question, everyone has to start learning somewhere...and that is what this site is for.

This is refreshing--a youngster who is ready and willing to learn without copping attitude...very cool.

...and although you said you had "a really big blonde moment" I don't believe it. I saw your video and you're not big at all.

I'm an old man with blonde hair,(with grey nowadays),it's been that way all my life...blondes are smart!....sometimes....we're just persecuted and misunderstood.

This Tele also has three pickups:





The number of pickups is no big deal - just Fender messing around with different configurations of the same animal.



The Tele on the left has a single humbucker pickup.

Why are there tele's with one, two or three pickup?

The same reason there are blonds, brunettes and red heads?

There really is no answer, but, I like them all.

We are... Smart, persecuted, and misunderstood.

I love blondes. The older and taller, the better. I've been on and off with one for 2 years or so and somehow we keep going back to eachother (My mom predicted I'd marry her, and it kind of scared me, considering I'm only 16 now )
