If you want that stuff, fine with me, but my not wanting it hardly makes me a purist. Even though I am to a large extent. I have no qualms about popping humbuckers into a Tele, but they have to have a jack cup. Out of tradition. So there's a fair amount of purist in me, but not wanting a guitar that tunes itself has nothing to do with it.
The level of technology I want in guitars was already being used by the mid '50s.

Pete, I get you... my point is just that the telecaster was as heretical to a lot of people as the new 'technology' back in the 1950's. People scoffed and laughed at the telecaster as much (if not more) than the self tuning Les Paul or the variax type stuff.
