EDITOR’S LETTER
Welcome…
Technically, I’ve never actually owned a Telecaster. I did have a Squier Tele on loan from the mag a few years back, I once built a T-style guitar from a kit (though not 100 per cent successfully!), and I did pick up a used G&L ASAT Classic early last year. Still, I do love Fender’s original solid-body electric. The Tele might just be the ultimate rock rhythm machine. A guitar for hard riffing and punk-rock, whose workhorse simplicity means you can beat all hell out of it without worries of knocking a tremolo arm out of tune. Of course that’s just my own assessment – the Tele is a versatile beast, and countless players have made it their main squeeze since Fender’s original solidbody hit the streets over seven decades ago.
