The Tele is not ugly, some other guitars are ugly, the Jaguar and the Jazzmaster to name but two.

But not the Tele, the shape is simple, but very, very effective.

You know, the more I think about it the prettier the Teles are compared to other guitars. But I also have to say that in my opinion, there is no such thing as an ugly guitar! The ugliest guitar is still the prettiest! Buy more guitar! Time to GAS UP!

That's about as useful as me saying the TELE is the ugliest guitar. Jazzmasters are way better looking. And way better sounding. And the shape is even simpler than a TELE. (see how easy it is to make a statement that is only true to the writer).

A guitar is only ugly because you don't want to own one.

Ummm, the original post that you are quoting is 2 years old and was the only post 1996Jag-stang made in this thread. In fact, he hasn't posted at all in over a year. Pay closer attention to what you are responding to. :roll:

I'll admit that I was never a great fan of the Telecaster look. Not that it wasn't a good guitar, but it didn't appeal to me personally. However, after a year of crazy GAS, I had some seriously good guitars, and I started to seek out guitars for more than just looks. The Tele had the tone I wanted, but there were a few things I wasn't interested in (including the overall look, and the slab body which I found uncomfortable). One day, I mentioned my issues to a good friend, who suggested I try the Am Dlx Tele, which had a belly cut (2011).

I can honestly say that I have never looked back since that day. The Telecaster does everything I like, and more. The guitar's appearance grew on me since I brought it, and now I do not consider it ugly, ordinary or anything less than.... gorgeous.

Sure, I have a nice range of guitars, and they all have their own advantages. And, to be honest, I prefer P90 pickups as well. But, and this is a big but... no other guitar can beat the Telecaster for sheer versatility and playability. I know for sure that I'll never give up my Tele, I play it more than my other guitars. I might not pick it as my "desert island" guitar, but I know I'll regret not having the Tele sooner or later, when I'm stranded. More than any other guitar.

In short... no, it's not ugly, it is the most sublime work of art I've ever owned.

Why are you so ignorant to come into the telecaster forum and say such a stupid thing?
