I love telecasters, such an awesome guitar. I've had my squier affinity for a few years now, and it sounds so good after all the rough treatment its been through, but now im waiting for my custom pickups to arrive.
Teles are the best solid body guitar ever made. No doubt in my mind. The super unique and powerfully thin tone and twang make it sound perfect for anything.
umm could be that Phil has played on more cd's as a session musician then you could ever fathom..lets start with playing for Triumph after Rick left..Tommy lee's CD..damn the list just goes on and on...A monster of a guitar player!!!...Phil X is way to undertated for what he can do..that is for sure!
@keepthetempo We can forgive him for the Tommy Lee CD, can't we? lol. Seriously, I love Tommy and his Motley Crue stuff, but his solo stuff just has no bite in it. He always was playing to the alt-rock kids on those things and the rap-rock crap on the MoM album, which I understand he's resurrected that band. WHY? I can't fathom why. It failed the first time because the fad was fading out, so what's he gonna get out of it this time?
alot of the vintage teles come with 10's and most tele players switch too t10's for a fatter sound if it comes with 9's. My 52' reissue came with 10's. Sounds so thick compared to 9's. JP uses 9's but somehow makes it sound thick
@fmleftyrocker/man... you are so misleading... the only resemblance between john's guitar and this one is body shape. Everything else is totally different...John 5's guitar is not a telecaster in conventional sense...
hard rock and metal are possible if you have a good amp and a distortion pedal, mega distortion pedal, then you got a metal souning guitar. also if you use the neck pick up, it sounds very milky, you can play metal with that,

You can't play metal or hard rock on them (in terms of sound), but other than those two I agree.

With a change of pickups (usually humbuckers) they can play metal quite as tele's usually accept down tunings quite well.
