There are some apparently who don't love Telecasters.

​

Hard to comprehend isn't it but maybe it's because a Telecaster can sound tinny and thin. Not as tinny and thin as a Stratocaster though surely. As Jonathan Richman says:

​

"Well the sound is thin & the sound is cheap
Like a tin can falling on a dead end street
Fender Stratocaster"

​

People don't seem to mind the Stratocaster though. Plus, the Telecaster is a street tough pushing skinny wee Strat Boy about and pinching his school lunch.

​

The bridge pickup if done right is a meaty beast. A big fat snarly sound with a sharp attack. 

​

So in order to redress this terrible wrong, I have done a demo, a shootout if you will of 6 Telecaster or rather a few Telecasters and other 'T-Style' guitars.

​

All the guitars can be found on the website:
