Anyone out there ever tried to play Stones stuff on a Tele, tuned to open G like Keef?
It sounds THE BUSINESS!  This is not an exit | |

The Edge??? Dude can barely play. Also, Danny Gatton should be mentioned as one of the greatest ever. "He's a musician's musician..." |

Also, don't forget James Burton, Steve Cropper, and Roy Buchanan... also Jeff Beck used a Tele in the early days! "He's a musician's musician..." |

Some of those guys mentioned are Telecaster Holders not players.
I'll add. Danny Gatton Brent Mason Albert Lee Steve Morse "The first time I saw the cover of Dirty Mind in the early 80s I thought, 'Is this some drag queen ripping on Freddie Prinze?'" - Some guy on The Gear Page | |

One one....Mike Stern | |

I don't think Prince falls in this catagory. He plays a Hohner, not a Tele. | |

Co-sign. Mike Stern is the man. How'd I forget him?
But hasn't he played a Yamaha Pacfica Tele for the last decade? Nice ax but heavy as hell. | |

....and if you're into hard rock/metal, John 5 (ex-Marilyn Manson, Rob Zombie) and Jim Root (Slipknot) each have their own customized Fender Telecaster models in stores:

^ I don't see the point in having a Telecaster if you're going to make it sound like any number of "rock" axes sound.. Surely you buy a Tele for that twang?!
I got mine cos I was going through a huge Stones phase at the time and I wanted to sound like Keef! This is not an exit | |

If you don't mind the suggestion I would wait and save a little more and get one of these. You'll be happier with the quality. "The first time I saw the cover of Dirty Mind in the early 80s I thought, 'Is this some drag queen ripping on Freddie Prinze?'" - Some guy on The Gear Page | |
