Coming from the AxeFX II

    I have a lovely left handed 52 RI.


    Before that, I never liked any Tele's I had except a Hot Rod 52 RI, but this one is better (Alnico 5's in them which changed after 1998)


    But I've heard a lot of those Nocasters online in demo's and they are just beautiful sounding. Why do they sound different than regular RI's?


    Or is it just I'm hearing good players who own them?

    My guitar teacher in my formative years used a tele, I loved the sound of it, loved his style of playing, and to this day I still try to hear his lines and get his jazzy rock/blues into my playing.
