I always hated them and their tone until I saw this prince solo:

Prince is a god.
Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

But where DID his guitar go at the end of that video?

I've always hated Telecasters.  I think the body is ugly, the headstock is ugly, and they remind me of twangy country guitars.  However, after seeing the Smithereens the other night, and how killer Jim Babjak's Tele sounded,  I may be reconsidering.  Now, of course, the 100 watt Marshall JCM800 may have made a difference.  Either way, I'm up in the air about it.  Somebody help straighten me out here!

That's because that's what they are.  :) Cozmo, have you seen my BMJ since I left? The guy who took my place plays one, and it sounds awesome for those little country licks and the leads that he plays.

No, we haven't been out to see them.  But that's the thing, I KNOW they can rock, but I want it to rock without the country twang.  I guess it won't be so.
