Kestrel Contributing Member ***** The large print giveth & the small print taketh away	Apr 1st, 2012 05:21 PM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic Glad to hear you're doing well. Me too - recently got another "all clear"! Teles are interesting guitars and can be amazingly versatile. I have 2 Teles and one Strat and lately the 52RI has become my go-to. A while ago I dropped the Lollar Specials in and man, what a difference compared to the stock Fenders. 3-dimensional, touch sensitive, sounds full and almost jazz-like when picked light and it really growls when I hit it hard. We do blues, classic rock, R&B, Motown and it covers it all. I even use it for the Stones B!tch and The Who's Can't Expain. Definitely not a Nashville guitar. Plus I can do the open G thing and tune right back to standard with no trouble at all. It took me a while (years...) to bond with mine, though. They are different animals than Strats. I read on this forum that you have to let a Tele "play you", which I take to mean that once you figure out the voice, you can learn to make it speak.
