A Telecaster makes one hell of a club!

Teles are unique sounding. They possess strong character yet are not a one trick pony.

Prince didn't play a Fender. He played a Hohner which was made in Germany. It's still a Telecaster inspired guitar though.

They sound real great if you bolt the bridge pickup into the wood Eddie Van Halen style. I have a GE Smith signature Tele made that way and you can cover anything with it. He used this type of rig when he was doing Saturday Night Live because it was so versatile. I used to have a 72 Tele with big ass humbuckers on it. I wish I still had that one.

When I used to play in Vegas, the guitar player I worked with had one of those 72 reissues, the ones with the big ass pick guard. He could pull a lot of tones out of it.

How could I have forgotten?

Fucking Roy Buchanan was the shit.

In the summer of 1978, the Mighty KISW in Seattle was constantly playing the title track from his album "You're Not Alone", so I went and bought it. Fucking kick ass song.

And we can't forget The Boss......

Yeah, the pre-corporate radio glory days of KISW, where you could actually hear Roy Buchanan, The Clash, Blondie, Ac/Dc, The Ramones, Zeppelin, Springsteen, Elvis Costello, Van Halen, and Pink Floyd all in the same hour. God damn I miss that radio station.

George Harrison didn't always play Telecaster, but he happened to have one at the Beatles last gig.....

...of course his amp fried out in the middle of the song, but it's historical none the less.
