15- Glories of a Telecaster (Jason)
from Tweed Couch Guitar Therapy Session · host Dr. Tietjen
When I hear Telecaster, the first word I think of is simplicity… a slab of wood with a neck bolted onto it. Then add some hardware, pickups, and tuners. No need for tremolos, no need for carved tops or belly cuts. Just simplicity… Now the second word I think of is versatile! No guitar sounds like a tele... yet, a tele can sound like so many other guitars. But what defines a telecaster? Is it the shape? Is it the sound? Is it the history? Maybe the name Telecaster isn’t even the term that should be used anymore and it should be T-style guitar? Well we will discuss this, and more, on this group therapy session with Jason, on the tweed couch.
