Darrell - You are not alone....

Darell,

It's not just you - I too love my 2000 AS Tele, and it plays so sweetly, but it simply does NOT have that Tele "twang". The pickups produce a very gentle tone - fabulous for rhythm playing and great for blues (using the neck pickup with the volume up and the tone backed off) but it's not a twangster.

Having said that - if ALL Teles were identical sounding, what a boring world we'd be living in! We would all only need to buy ONE guitar each, GAS would be a thing of the past, and we could all turn into boring old farts together.

Long live the unique and inimitable beauty that is the Telecaster, I say!
