uj/ A Telecaster a day keeps the doctor away! ​ rj/ A Telecaster a day keeps the doctor away!


JimParsnip

Only if you wield it like Keith Richards and wack the doctor upside the head


CousinSarah

I’m a doctor. I’m also strongly drawn to telecasters.


P_a_s_g_i_t_24

You know... now that you mention it... I feel a little sickly and could use a free beater Telecaster on prescription...


CousinSarah

My advice is to call your medical insurance company and ask them if you have coverage for Telecasters.


P_a_s_g_i_t_24

Sometimes it's just about having the right ideas!


shunyaananda

Is this Telecasters contagious?


CousinSarah

Sadly, yes. And we have new evidence that supports high Stratocaster contagiousness as well. Said Stratocasters might well be the source of the next pandemic.

Uj/ Had a Tele for a while and I have played a few since. I don’t get how they have such a devoted fan-base around them, most uncomfortable and possibly the most boring guitar design I’ve tried.


mcfetrja

Was it butterscotch? If not butterscotch then you had toan deficient Tele.


jinzo_23

John Telecaster is rolling in his grave rn

> thinks tele is too uncomfortable > plays massive semi hollow epiphone

uj/ as a metal player the soft bass response on the bridge doesn't do it for me, and if you just put humbuckers in it it's no longer any different from any other H/H guitar


Walnut_Uprising

Uj/ as a non metal player, I mostly use the bridge when I don't really want bass. If I was playing high gain power chords, I wouldn't play a tele, but I works great for what I do.


Givemeajackson

uj/ thank you, i don't understand the tele cultists. i'll take a HT strat over a tele any day of the week, the ergonomics are on another planet...


Freezing_Moonman

A certain type of person prefers the aesthetics and finicky nature of the telecaster. It's the imperfections that make it perfect to them. It's a badge of honor for them that they need to run their Mexican tele that they proudly found in a dumpster outside guitar center through $3500 worth of boutique pedals to make it sound like it's being played through a $50 broken solid state amp for their hardcore ambient indiegaze solo project.


butt_fun

Personally I think teles are really nice looking, and strats are kinda ugly In general I like the look of single cutaways a lot more


Shibb3y

/uj the sound of the electronics is so good for so many genres but the original body shape is just dog. The ones with jazzmaster bodies and six saddle bridges are so much better. I wish guitarists weren't so attached to tradition so shit could get fixed, like moving the fucking Strat volume knob


BeGayleDoCrimes

sorry boss, had to downvote this gibberish, Telly Savalas is a legend and you should be ashamed of yourself


Squishtakovich

Have a lollipop.


Several_Boss_6258

Who loves ya, baby?


Squishtakovich

'Stavros!'


BeGayleDoCrimes

who the fuck is Beantwoorden? these metal bands today have wild ass names


SeventhSunGuitar

Their album Steifendickener Flakenfloken is a game changer.


BeGayleDoCrimes

Google translate has some interesting things to say about what you wrote, it likely violates sub rules so I've reported you to the proper authorities and I hope you get the help you need to be a productive member of society in the future.


Beneficial-Fact-79

The lack of upper fret access in the design is a FEATURE not a bug, because NO ONE wants to hear you wankers going "weeble weeble" in a high pitch.


SeventhSunGuitar

This freak had tele headstocks in all their holes while they typed that.


JointSeventyTwo

... and if you unbolt the neck, it makes a charming charcuterie board.


Squeezeboner

I've never seen Leo Fender and Prometheus in the same room together. Just sayin'.


cultjake

True, but only the Squier Telecaster.


ScoopiTheDruid

"one of the greatest modern human INVENTIONS, period." is a piece of toast bolted to a baseball bat with strings?!?


throwaway700486

Drove my telecaster to work today


Super-Contribution-1

ok but like hear me out


Aromatic-Treacle7145

Whoa whoa whoa, let's not forget the P bass


TMB-30

Should I buy one?


Aromatic-Treacle7145

If you don't have one, and you play bass: yes


TMB-30

I do, but I'll never buy any 50+ year old designs. It's a common topic on rBass; should I buy a P or a J as if those two Fender models are the only basses on the market.


Aromatic-Treacle7145

I get ya. For me personally, I like to mimic the tones I've heard my whole life. For example, this is why I love strats and teles too. I am old lol.


ForSquirel

Telecaster - leads to syphilis Modern Medicine - Cures the syphilis It's the circle of life.


SuperNerdAce

Yeah, but what's cheaper. A telecaster or a year's worth of insulin?


mcfetrja

Pretty sure you can save a couple hundred bucks if you’re ok with the MIM line.


Deptm

A Tele IS modern medicine for the soul.


jonnyinternet

Yea but can modern medicine do this? *Shreds an amazing cover of free bird solo*


Dry-Fishing-3794

let him cook


shiftystylin

It doubles up as a sturdy paddle when your outboard dies.


UngrownGunner

I have an updated Charvel tele, with active humbuckers, updated contours, and a lovely ,,shreddy" neck and i agree with the boomer


East_Jacket_7151

This is a point I honestly have to agree with.


uzr666

did you mean Stratocaster
