2nd choice / Next in line
Assuming the Telecaster ( registered trademark ) is your electric guitar model design of prefernce, what would be your 2nd electric guitar model design preference?

Thanks in advance for responding!

I'll take a big 'ol Gretsch. The full size ala Brian Setzer and Jim Heath (the Reverend Horton Heat).

From what I own, maybe the Epi Sheraton. My actual 2nd is a Breedlove nylon strung acoustic.

Electric? Only Tele shaped guitars for me. Outside the Tele, I'm after some really good custom made acoustics.

ES-335 or Les Paul for me. I like the idea of a Strat but the middle pickup gets in my way and I hate the sound of the 2 & 4 positions.

That would be my trusty "SG", the other old solid body slab.

Never got used to the weight or balance of a Les Paul,
Never played a Strat I liked (But I KNOW there's a great one out there waiting for me)
Played several SGs and loved many, a 61 I had was the best guitar "for me" ever. Sold it and bought a Chet Atkins in a moment of sheer stupidity....

I think a Gretsch pairs up real well with a tele, and I've been blessed by this magical combination (got my Setzer edition Gretsch as a 20 year anniversary gift from my employer) - but of course now I'm thinking an awful lot about a Gibson Firebird VII...
