Jim Messina's playing during Loggins and Messina was what made me first take notice of a tele.

I was pretty much a Les Paul & Stratocaster guy up until then (Marshall too!). I still love listening to his work from back in the day.

Have to say I was dissappointed to see him using a Strat in the Loggins and Messina "Sitting In Again" dvd, but the overall musicianship in that concert (outstanding!) helped assuage this feeling.

Hmm, I'm exposing my 'roots' here, but,

1) Pete Townsend (although his choice of guitar is arguably inconsequential!)
2) Mick Green
3) Wilko Johnson
4) Harrison (ahh, that rosewood tele that Fender gave him as a birthday pressie)
5) Keef
