Also, still don't rule out Telecasters for getting these sounds:

When I saw Frank Black last time, he was sporting a Telecaster. Hell, do a Google image search for Frank and you'll only see him holding two guitars - an acoustic and... a TELECASTER :)

I hear you there. I will always hold my Telecasters in highest esteem (I have more Teles/Esquires than any other guitar/brand)... but I'd be bummed without my '57 RI Les Paul or especially my ES-135 archtop :)
