......I dunno how many times I've heard this quote, and every time I hear it, I go
.
Some Teles I've owned have been among the easiest playing, best sounding guitars I've ever played. If anything, they made playing effortless and thus, less likely to make or hear any mistakes.
Sorry, to me that's an internet quote that someone let fly several years ago, and about 10,000 guitarists went running with it.
Teles don't expose mistakes, and Les Pauls don't cover mistakes. Distortion covers mistakes, and playing clean can expose mistakes.
I'll always prefer playing a guitar that is easy to play--call me crazy I guess.
