John Osborne of The Brothers Osborne on discovering the Tele, trading up and why bad B-Bender technique is like too much cologne...
What does the Telecaster mean to you?
"As simple of a design as the Telecaster is, it's the most versatile guitar out there. It just works with any style, any amp, any pedal you put in front of it. The Telecaster works so well because it's just a guitar. When you add switches and knobs that do crazy things, you start getting away from the actual point of an electric guitar, which was to be loud enough to be heard over drums. Some guitars push you in a direction, and when you fight against it, it doesn't work as well. But the simplicity of the Telecaster allows you to find your voice. It's a desert island guitar."
Who were the first artists to make you aware of the Telecaster?
