I'd say the Tele is in the 'ruggedly striking' category. With appeal, some like bikers...some like uptown Manhattan...everyone certainly has their own.
I LOVE the Tuner! I've a DVD laying around somewhere with Lindsey Buckingham playing a concert with one. VERY interesting eclectic style in my opinion...both that guitar and his playing. For me? My PRS Santana SE is my fave all around. Slightly thinner than the full PRS, it's weight is perfect for this ole guy in his 50's...the balance is great...the tune-o-matic style bridge works for my palm mutes. And, I up'd the pickups to Mojotone Levelheads for all extra punch if I want it, yet they clean up well dialing back two notches. I had a '76 Les Paul Black Beauty in the day...this low end PRS now does everything I'll ever want. I also hated the Tele design when I was 18...the squared off edge in the day made it a pain for me to play...but now? I get it. lol Thanks for posing the question...it's interesting to see what folks like & don't for whatever reason. Makes for a healthy balanced selling market I'm sure! Cheers!

Fender Strat always looks right at home playing blues, country, rock, jazz, surf and almost anything else you throw at it. On stage it fits right in.

Thanks. It was a dream guitar from way back when (I didn't have money ). The same guy painted my guitar and added a little twist with the marbleized paint and a matching headstock. The original had a plain BC Rich headstock and lacked a neck pickup. I felt that I needed a neck pickup. I decided to ditch the bridge pickup ring and use a push/pull volume knob for pickup switching a la George Lynch, who is a big influence of mine. GMW did this build and it wasn't particularly expensive. I know a lot of dudes complain that their dream guitar is never as good as they had hoped. This one came out perfect. |

B.C rich warlock with the inverted headstock a la max cavalera of course.

It's a shame Lee isn't more popular. Probably best pricing for super Strats out there. |

Can't get much more retro than this:
'62 Gretsch Corvette I was refinishing mine and had the guts in a box in my closet when I went away to college. My mom thought it looked like trash. Bye-bye. It had a beautiful mahogany body and a great neck. Bob

Hollow body with no f-holes. Silver foils... That guitar sounded like rock and roll reincarnated. First G chord I strummed on it, I was like wow.

Don't know who gave you your information, Bob, but as an ex-Brooklyn boy (my grandparents lived two blocks from the 60 Broadway factory) and 50+ year Gretsch aficionado (owned my Double Annie since May '64) that's a post-1966 'Vette for sure. Early models came with a symmetrical slab body and slim 3-on-a-side headstock transitioning to the contoured-body version through '62 and into '63, with the 2+4 headstock generally associated with post-1965 production; in addition, early contour-body Corvettes would have been finished in a deep cherry more than mildly reminiscent of (and arguably designed to compete with) Gibson's SG Junior and Special student-level solids - the aluminum knobs and shaded red burst enter the picture in '67, as do the oddball tuners - and vibrato models came equipped with the English-made Burns top-mount tailpiece also used on the contemporary Duo-Jet and Firebird. BTW if you're in the market for something closer to a true late '62 'Vette, the current Electromatic version fills the bill nicely for not a whole lotta bucks:
