Can we have a "I think I've come to terms with the fact that I'm a Tele guy" thread too?

I always come back to Teles. Once the Tele Plus arrives I'll have three. (Arguments over whether the Tele+ counts as a Telecaster are welcome). I know @Help!I'maRock! is a Tele man too, who else?

Also, post pics! I will take a family pic when mine gets here but everyone's seen my rosewood Tele. Here is my Bigsbytele (seller's pic from when I bought it):

Not sure I qualify as a tele guy, but though I have been having fun with my modded HH strat and enjoy it quite a bit, I always go back to this guitar. It just has a sound that I really like, particularly in the position of the 4 position switch where these BG pickups I put in are stacked. The full sound of the P90 combined with some bite and bark from the bridge is just really enjoyable for me. Though pedals are fun with it, I like the sound well enough that generally I play it just clean through my Fender amp.

A tele guy would call it the POLYGRAPH OF GUITARS and talk some other bullshit about how Leo got it right the first time. Looking at my 6 saddle tele with modified wiring, I'm gonna say no.

If I am counting Tele+ your six saddle fourway Tele counts too howies

Seriously tho all u gotta do to be a Tele guy is like Teles. You like Tele, howoe? Yas?

On that basis, I am not a tele guy. Nor a strat guy. But I like guitars based on both original forms. And I tend not to be a purist about much of anything.

But on this basis, I qualify.
 
Howie prefers a Tele to a Strat? Are you sure?

I'll take a Tele over a Strat too. I have been playing mine a lot over the last couple of weeks and I love it.
 
Love a good tele. I have two at pretty much opposite ends of the price spectrum (MIM standard and Ron Kirn Barnbuster).

Even my Gibby LP is the Gibson version of a tele (LP special w/P90s).
 
Loves me a good Tele. I'd say I'm more of a Fender Guy than a Tele Guy, but that's still good right?

Can't find a pic at the moment. Shoot.
 
For quite a while an AV 52 Hot Rod Tele was the guitar I lusted after. I never did get one. I did eventually end up with an MIJ 72 RI Tele Custom. I play that one from time to time. I need to put better pickups in it, and then I'd probably play it more. So, I guess I like Teles, but I don't identify myself as a Tele guy.
