So I have been playing guitar for about 6 years now. I'm no expert, but I have been in touring bands and I've played a lot of guitars.

Yesterday I bought My first Tele for $225 off Craigslist. It's 2000 standard MIM Telecaster. Now at the time I had no real plans for this guitar other than doing some studio work with, but I have to say out of the 10 different guitars I have access to (all fenders) this Tele is BY FAR the best sounding guitar I have. I'm blown away it took me this long to understand and figure what makes Tele's so GREAT. I was a long time Strat and Jaguar player, but nothing compares to this Tele.

I thought I would share this story and I hope you guys appreciate it. On that note, How did you get started playing Tele's?

Long time Strat player here too, found a good deal on eBay and I thought I could always sell it if I didnt connect with it. I put it back for sale but after some tweaking I really like it now and I'm keeping it.

Great question! I'm primarily a jazz guitarist, so my main guitar was always a semi-hollow with flat wounds. I needed something for a funk band I was in, so I went to the local guitar store and played everything they had. I absolutely fell in love with an american standard and picked it up. Since, I have used it in rock bands, funk bands, country bands, and even with my small jazz combos and big bands. The most versatile guitar around!
