What kind of story do you want to hear?

How bout.... "It is Tele #0002 circa 1952 and was Leo Fender's
personal axe which he kept at home, and was stored in a
barn for the past 12 years only to be sold to you for the low
low price of $250. "
Other than that... you are correct in that the Tele has a special
sound all its own. I have a 92 Tele Deluxe Plus model
# N915078, which they do not make any longer, in a beautiful translucent blue wood grain finish.
It is pretty modded out with locking tuners
hipshot tremsetter tremelo and active EMGs that I put on there
to replace the awful Lace Sensors that it came with... and it
still sounds like a Tele.
It is the heaviest guitar I have ever played...literally weighs
about 10 pounds, which is far more than any normal Tele.

No matter what you do to a Tele, it
always sounds like a Tele. It has something to do with the
fretboard length which is longer and lengthens the string in
a way to add that familiar twang...funny I was just thinking
about this over the past weekend. Why a Tele sounds like a Tele.
That is a great Tele, how many guitars do you have now Shuie?
