Tone

Often in the guitar world people talk about getting a certain "tone". I am a big fan of Brad Paisley and Keith Urban's tone for their Telecasters. Tone is a very complex and subjective thing. I have found in my experience as a musician and an engineer that there are so many variables to "tone" that it really is a individual taste. I know some folks who really don't care for the Telecaster's twangy "tone". Then if you ask a dedicated Tele player...we all live for the tone. To sum up my thoughts...go for the tone you like and want...and most of all enjoy the gift of being able to play.
