Your other favorite Fender.

Volvoguy · June 5th, 2006, 05:43 AM

Musicmaster. Clearly. It's all about the hardtails.

Can't help it!
Have play on and off 5 years also strats (beside the tele), but never again for me, altough I love the looks and feel.

Chris S. · June 5th, 2006, 09:15 AM

Radio.

Or maybe a piano. ;-) CS

Johnny Caster · June 5th, 2006, 09:30 AM

No, No, no Les Paul! For some reason I have zero interest in any Gibson guitars.

tjalla · June 5th, 2006, 09:36 AM

Gretsch Broadkaster... shuffle baby! 8)

Trev

SteveY · June 5th, 2006, 10:22 AM

This is a terrible thread!

I'm traumatized!

The mere thought will probably drive me to the Tele store (again).

Honga Man · June 5th, 2006, 11:37 AM

A Fender bass.

Other electric guitars don't interest me.

Tele295 · June 5th, 2006, 03:14 PM

Lately, I've been playing with a Jazzmaster some. Very different beast than a Tele.

But, truth be told, I'd play my ES-295 as my #1 if I didn't play a Tele.

My black '76 Starcaster...

I can't vote. There isn't a 'none of the above' option.

No Telecaster = No Fender.

That's why I added the swan song option for those who can't cope with life without a tele.

Big Lug · June 5th, 2006, 04:09 PM

Don't have one, but if I couldn't have a tele I'd want a Gibson ES-335.

The String King · June 5th, 2006, 05:13 PM

Same as above. Got to get me an ES-E335 soon... Even an Epiphone would do once I have modded it.

Tim Armstrong · June 5th, 2006, 05:55 PM

I'd play my Guild Starfire III....

Cheers, Tim

I don't care for Les Pauls either. To my surprise my Gibson Melody Maker gives me the same kind of feeling I get from my Tele. Just a plank with 2 control knobs.

But since we're being brand loyal, next in line would be my Mustang. Easy to handle body, 2 knobs (and 2 pickups), plus it came with a nice chrome stick to keep the case propped open.

Pete Galati · June 5th, 2006, 07:25 PM

I love Telecasters, but I have no brand loyalty to Fender. If I'm not playing a Telecaster, I'm not playing a Fender.

Scott S · June 5th, 2006, 07:29 PM

I'd manage, somehow:
