Not liking a brand is no big deal. Looks like you're just talking about electrics here. I like the sounds of my ES-335 (two alnico humbuckers) and ES-150 (one alnico P-90). I usually play them through Fender and Ampeg amps, and usually at low-to-medium volume. They only sound muddy when I make them sound muddy. But we might have different mud thresholds.
To me, Gibson electrics through Fender amps sound great. (Rent Festival Express and hear Jerry and Bob.) Or listen to Warren Haynes or Daryl Trucks. I'd love to have a Les Paul Standard to round out the arsenal, but as Leon Fullerton always said: So many guitars, so little money.
Never been to a Guitar Center, but my impression is that they sell a lot of inferior gear, regardless of brand.
But nothing wrong with sticking with Teles. Play what you like, and you'll like what you play.
