And a further note: most don't strum an electric guitar across all strings and let it go. Why? Because it gets jangly and raunchy. Instead, most will palm mute pretty assiduously and choke off unneeded strings. Like on a rosewood acoustic, sometimes reduction yields a bigger sound than playing full tilt.
Another issue with the Tele particularly is all the overtones the bridge pickup puts out. To help tame it you may want to back off the tone control and the volume control a little to reduce the jarring overtones.
All the best,
Bob
