That's the way I feel too.
People here often talk about the quality of one Tele over another, but it's usually limited to the quality of the materials used or the workmanship. When talking about the design of the guitar, people usually say it's "individual preference"...but I dont agree. I think that it's the quality of the DESIGN of the Tele that makes it what it is, more than anything else. I think Leo Fender knew exactly what he was doing, and did everything for a specific reason. He had a vision, and I'm in favor of not messing with it.
The original design looked great, sounded great, and felt great. Why go with a modern interpretation when you can get something very close to the original?
