Telecaster, how high in the charts are we ?

dagenhamjim · March 9th, 2007, 02:45 PM

If there was a chart, Similer to the music charts where would the Telecaster be in all time sales? And when i say Telecaster, I mean all types, even the copys. And If we aint number one (be susprised if we were't) then where would we be in the chart of all time world sales, and what would be number one?

...Knott even close tew numb-burr won!!

...The lass time I talked tew a Fenner rep the Strats out sold the TELECASTERs ABOUT 10 TEW WON.

...I wood assume this wood reflect onna werld wide market knott tew mint-chun the gypsins ( I try knott tew mint-chun them) and udder models.

...If I hadda guess I'd guess the Tele style wood fall in at about numb-burr 5 and the Strat er gypsin (there I go again) wood take up the top tew slots.

Only using the number of hits on my e-bay auctions....I would say, my Strat...and Strat related Auctions, get almost 3 times the amount of Traffic, compared to the Tele stuff...but as far as TV exposure...I think the Tele might win at this time in History...????

On the Magician's Friend (thanks 0.F.) website you can list by most popular guitar. The first few pages are dominated by Gibsons (LP's, SG's etc) and Strats. There's one Tele towards the bottom of page two... You have to get to page four or five before you start seeing any more.

BBB.

We, the TDPRI'ers, like to think that the Telecaster is special (and it IS), so let's pray it won't be no.1 on the list, because then it wouldn't be special anymore.

My Fender dealer friends tell me Strats are the most popular Fenders by a long shot. They sell as an average 10-12 Strats for every 1 Tele.

Attractive guitars sell better than solid well designed guitars.

That is so cool that you and your spouse argue about the popularity of a word on the Internet. I need to think of how to work that argument in the next week or so in our household.

Of course, your search obviously shows that the Internet likes the word "fender," and not the name "Fender." Try comparing Fender to Martin and see who dominates. Shoot, according to your methods, Dean must be the most popular guitar on the planet.

Try this instead: "fender guitar" v. "gibson guitar"

Within 2%, too close to call.
