'62 tele custom, surf green, rosewood board, bound body

 

Better how??? Application or goal would have to dictate...

 

Jazz, Blues, R&B, Funk, Classical, Pop, Metal, Classic Rock, .

 

Better for Tele tones OR Feel though.... only other Teles IMO.

 

Of course there are these:

for my tastes, there's thousands of better guitars. maybe not for clean, but i'd rather have a guitar that looks good (i think teles are hideous) and works well with gain. tele's don't cut it for me.

 

i'd put my v up for a better guitar (once again, in my opinion)

 

or, a white falcon...god i love those

^that thing looks like it could summon juju of the sea

 

+1, very intimidating instrument!

 

If we're also talking basses, Jean Baudin's Pac-Man bass has always been one of my favourites.
