Well, the ones I come to think about must be Jimmy Page, Rory Gallagher, George Harrison, Jeff Beck and Keith Richards. There is, of course, many more to add.

Fher Olivera from the Mexican rock group Mana' uses a Telecaster sometimes when he plays electric, not sure if you guys have heard of Mana' though. If not chekc them out, they are a killer rock band whether you speak Spanish or not. Good music transcends language.

The Edge, from U2 has favored teles for the more ballsy rock songs over the last couple of tours.

Last month I had the privlege to go to Nashville and see a show at the Grand Ole Opry. Of the 7 artists I saw 5 of them used Fender Teles in the band at least one, including the guitarist in the house band. They all sounded awesome.

Oh yeah the Guitarist nick named "the Master of the Telecatser" Arlen Roth used Teles alot. Go to http://www.gibson.com/en-us/Lifestyle/Lessons/ and check out his lessons and read his blog. He has many nice pics of some vintage Teles, guitars in general and very interesting reading on his blog. Also his lessons are great and free.

I am surprised that no one has mentioned Stephen Stills yet. Great guitarist, I have seen a tele in his hands multiple times.
