IMO telecaster is referring to shape not pickup configuration

+1 - totally agree! Imo it doesn't matter what pickups you have, if it's a Tele shape, it's a Telecaster ...

Yeah deffo still a Tele, I believe Mr Shakespeare put it best

"What's in a name? that which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet";


I was gassing for a Tele for so long, I thought I had it down to between the Jim Adkins JA-90 and a Telecaster FMT HH (Black Cherry Sunburst)

My head was nipping for months but I eventually settled on a classic black W/PG USA Tele.

as some of you know i have a blacktop telecaster (which for those of you who dont know, have humbuckers). i love it, but i thought i'd ask you this; is a telecaster with humbuckers a real telecaster?

i think the key to that tele snap you get, is the single coils. i dont consider my blacktop a real telecaster, hence why i call it a blacktop more than a tele. thats just my opinion though.

so do you?


To me if it doesn't have single coil pickups then it just isn't right.

As long as it says Fender/Squier on the headstock it is a real Telecaster. Anything else is just a T-style.
ABS :D

The Telecaster played by Mr Telecaster Albert Collins has a HB in the neck position. Good enough for me!

I had never heard of Albert Collins until I saw him playing with George Thorogood at Live Aid in 85. True Master of the Telecaster

That's what he was, Master of the Telecaster. He's worth a visit on YouTube!

I thought "Blacktops" all had tapped coils "out of the box"
