bruce springsteen and I don't like him

jim root from slipknot

Brad Paisley

Same for me but I'm gonna say Springsteen anyway so I don't look like a retard.

are telecasters comfy? been wondering if I should get one or a jazzmaster

Jazzmasters are shit dude. I'm not just saying that because it's the "indie" guitar either. Get a Jag if you insist on getting one.

jonny greenwood

Joe Strummer

so sick of seeing this stupid fucking meme word

BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN AND I LIKE HIM VERY MUCH

Kurt Cobain

Jeff Buckley

Muddy Waters

Tom Petty

richey edwards

Norman Westberg or any one of 9000 country guys

I think of my cute little guitar sitting in my bedroom

Either Albert Collins or Jimmy Page.

Danny Gatton

who is he and why do I want to fuck him

el hefe from NOFX

Yo big ups to this patrician motherfucker right here.

Good choice.

Every vhs boot I have 90-92 had a telecaster. I don't know if he played that in the early nirvana days.
Read an article where he pprefered the two pickup and I cant cite that source

Weird. I can't remember ever seeing him with a Tele.

Nevermind, he liked one pickup

kurtsguitarsnow.blogspot.com/2009/02/1993-fender-telecaster-custom.html

Bruce Springsteen

everyone who didn't say springsteen is lying

My fucking nigger.
Came here to post this

Forgot tags

Tell that to Keef

>tele custom

I think of that anime girl with the pick in her mouth tbhh

Mike Kinsella

between 90-92 kurt favored strats and jaguars/mustangs

i believe he only had 2 japanese telecasters that just hung around as backups, he did his first tele once or twice at the most, but that was about it. the 2nd telecaster he got was one fender sent to him in 94 during the european leg of the in utero tour, kurt died before he was able to use it live.

the bloke from arctic monkeys
not this one though, the other guy

frank black / black francis.

i used to hate how the headstock looked and didn't care for the twang, a year or two later and i fell in love with teles. i had a huge fascination with frank's japanese contemporary telecasters but then quickly moved onto the standard set up telecasters. i had a mexi standard and then like 2 years ago i bought a modern player short scale telecaster, pic related, it's pretty comfy and well built for a

>Every vhs boot I have 90-92 had a telecaster
Google image search "Kurt Cobain live" and you will find almost none of them

I'd either think of John 5 or Waylon Jennings.

johnny marr
most would associate him to the rickenbacker, but most of the sound on the first few smiths albums is from the tele

Toby kieth

I think of people constantly telling me my fender p-bass has a telecaster head...

nah, bruh, 1968-1971 the redesigned the fender p-bass so the headstock was shaped like a tele before giving it a second redesign and renaming it a telecaster bass in mid-1971.

Do you have the Squire California Vibe series?

he was the manic street preachers "guitarrist" and you want to fuck him because hes beautiful.

Bruce Springsteen

Bruce Springsteen and Early Jimi Page

This Goy

Ted Greene was the first that came to mind, then Ed Bickert.

But they don't really have twangy tones. Albert Collins is probably the best representation of a Tele player.

Did not he kinda invented it? Heard something about he putting a Gibson (hb) in neck and a sc from a lapsteel in bridgeposition.

Objective Meanings of Guitars:

Fender Strat: Usually played by try hard fags. Occasionally played by legit guitar players.

Fender Tele: Generally played by reliable but not overly talented guitarists.

Fender Flying V: Fuck right off

Other Fenders: Indie fags

Gibson Les Paul: Played by rich 15 year olds who want to be slash or fat 45 year olds who shred.

Gibson SG: Played by cancer

Other Les Pauls: Actually skilled guitarists

Jackson: Douchey metal players.

Ibanez: Reliable metal players

Epiphone Hollow Body: Solid blues players

Epiphone Anything Else: Poorfags

Norman Westberg

Avril Lavigne

>Fender Flying V

her signature tele is actually cool beans if it didn't have that emoe skull and crossdicks on the fretboard

Ellie Rowsell of Wolf Alice

Richie kotzen

Keith Richards

>Gibson SG: Played by cancer

No user, you are the cancer

meat

...

Johnny Greenwood

Agree with pretty much all of this, with the following revisions:

GIBSON Flying V: Fuck right off

Gibson LP: Played by rich 15 year olds who want to be slash and people who confuse outdated and shabby design for "vintage"

Anything Gibson: Sheeple buying overpriced gear based on brand name and advertising while ignoring potato quality production

Schecter: Whiny emo metalcore scum

Agile: Djent wannabe scum

ESP: As with Ibanez, but low-key

LTD: Poorfags who play metal

neither of you good anons have addressed The Squier Question

Brokebois, of course

Roy Buchannan

>Ibanez: Reliable metal players

Please, Ibanez is the try hard 15 year old

>Fender flying V

Credibility of this post = zero

>Other Fenders: Indie fags
v accurate

poorfags or female musicians that just started learning guitar and are riding the feminist art wave

oh

Pretty much.

karate kid

Nothing wrong with a Squier, they make perfectly good guitars. Especially the Classic Vibe series.

Take what you read here with a pinch of salt - people sperg out about others spending money on Gibsons and American Fenders yet berate Epiphones and Squiers for being cheap.

When it really comes down to it, it doesn't matter in the slightest what guitar you play so long as you can play it well.

came to post this one

The master of the Telecaster!

Roy....and this is why:

Posters like you are why this board is in such a terrible state

>Nothing wrong with a Squier, they make perfectly good guitars.
No, they make perfectly adequate beginner guitars, not good, but not entirely bad.
There is a huge difference between a Squire and an AM Fender before you even plug it in.

Tom Petty is the first to come to mind. Bruce Springsteen is the second.
