Hey Cat,
Welcome aboard. I'm over here in Caldwell where we speak Tele too.
The rule is that you must post a photo of your latest Tele, so get busy with the camera.
I, too, love Messina's tone, like the lead on "You're Mama Can't Dance", that is dripping with Tele twang. I saw L & M at a great show abour 1975 at the Utah State Fair Grounds on a perfect summer day. Lots of twang at that show that was from the "On Stage Tour" with about the same set list. Cool.
All I know is that my playing really took off when I made my sweet little '69 Thinline my #1.

P.S. We have friends over at Rupert, so maby we can get together some time when I'm in the neighborhood.

Playing my Tele is as natural as breathing to me, and I am surprized how much this guitar inspires me, to play long, and to try new things out musically. I haven't played a lot of different Teles like a lot of you have, but I sure like this one.
