From my small few years as a guitarist often I've noticed that the guitar someone begins with has a driving factor on the style and sound they will go on to produce.
Albeit a telecaster is definitely one of the most famous guitars out there, coming from a titan of the music gear industry "Fender" and fixing itself in music history by being a vessel of creativity wielded by the greats. I could name some guitarists as an example but truly this guitar doesn't come with a named artist, but rather an artist comes with this guitar in any of it variations.
Music in my opinion is truly a torch that is passed down through time,
As future musicians there has to have been someone to inspire us to want to play or be like and fulfil our lives to the standard they live or lived there's. For me a 17 year old from rural Ireland who grew up with just my mother who didn't have a real interest in music ,my taste is truly my own and a journey that i take every moment of my life.
my world opened when i first heard the amazing Jonny Marr for the first time when i was 14 .HIM, it was him who I wanted to be, so I read every thing i could find about him. I had learnt a few chords on the acoustic guitar my grandfather gave me at that point but i knew i wanted to be more and i remember i had seen he played a green tele on meat is murder and thought "I've seen that kind of guitar a lot from different artists". so about a year and a half later I knew that I wanted to buy a tele. I mean I've seen it every where and it never sounds the same it always molds to the musician using it.
when i finally bought a tele and saw this affordable trusted branded squire in red, which being the opposite color to green i knew this was the tele I wanted to some day be known for using. I thought ok ill buy this and after a year or two when i can afford the fender version i would upgrade. I will never sell this guitar, I will never let this guitar be broken beyond repair , be cause i owe this guitar for the person and musician I am becoming, Its simple , comfortable and sounds how i want it to sound when ever I want.
until i can afford my dream jazz master this guitar will continue to allow me to feel like my hero and discover my sound.my red squire tele and me.
