I saw the Scofield clip and thought to myself if you’re going to put jazz Tele guys in there you have to have Mike Stern.

(or Don Rich, Jimmy Bryant, or Roy Nichols..)

Saw an interview a while back where Kenny says one of the favorite teles he owns is a Squire!

Guthrie Trapp ain't nothin' to sneeze at either!

Bill Frisell's playing can just about bring me to tears.

Simply beautiful.

Loads of great players not yet mentioned….
Albert Lee, Arlen Roth, Clapton (Yardbirds and Blind Faith) Beck (Yardbirds and the recording of Blow by Blow) Jimmy Page (Yardbirds, all of Zep I and late 70’s/80’s B bender) David Gilmore (recorded a lot w/ a tele on mid 70’s Floyd albums) …..just to name a few.

And a recent favorite, Julian Lage!! (A man outright busting down the tele-jazz barrier with abandon!! )
