On the rare occasions when Brian May didn't play his Red Special, he often turned to a Tele. Freddie gave it a try as well!

The Tele proved extremely popular among acoustic players such as Pete Townshend and Steve Winwood.

FYI Stevie has two acoustic Telecasters in black and sunburst.

I like the way my tele resonates better than my CS strat.. makes me wonder why I have the strat at all. Could be a pickup height thing, but I pick up the tele 90% of the time.

Like on a strat.. you can play anything on a telecaster.

Here's a video of my brother playing my Tele. Some guy on the Tele forum said that Teles could not be played in the shred style. He was quickly proven wrong. I can't shred myself, but a good shredder can shred on a Tele or a Jazzmaster or a Jaguar or a Strat.
