Hey man, a Tele can play just about anything. Metal might be stretchng it, but with the right pedal???? I play Rock, Classic Rock, Blues and R&B on my Teles. Love 'em.

Pedals really do help a lot, but hey teles are all different. I can play metallic stuff on mine, the NASHVILLE power tele, so if it's built for country, used for metal, then, well, go for it. :twisted:

I play in a top 40 cover band and use my '52 Hot Rod re-issue almost exclusively. Tele's are very versatile. I have the luxury of having a mini humbucker in the neck, but it still works well for every style we play in all 3 pickup positions. Tele's are great workhorses and should not be underestimated and stereotyped as "country" guitars. Rock on my Tele brother!

I watched Duke Robillard take an Esquire (single pickup Tele) plugged into a Deluxe Reverb and make it sound like a big old jazz box. Tele's are only limited by us - not by their design. Albert Collins,Bruce Springsteen, David Gilmour, Tab Benoit, Keith Richards - no limits there! I go to a blues summit every year and there are always plenty of Teles there. Just a hint: use that tone control!
