Fuck you Conti
And i would never use a marshall, they are just goddamned gay, i'd rather use a cubeamp. Marshall is like, microsoft for me.. Just plain gayness.
I'd rather use Peavey/Crate/Warhead/Randall or anything else.
But i played with the tele on band practise today, and it was great! I use a Crate GT3500H and i had no problems with sound. Only thing is as you said, some background noice, but really, it was only when i placed the guitar ontop of the bassamp(it was wicked, lol)
BC rich dont suck, the one i have pwn the shit out of the jackson. In both playability and sound. Both guitars have stock pickups as i can't be arsed to buy new ones for cheap guitars. It's like putting a race kit on a lada.
The reason for having 3 cheap guitars is the following: Band playing with 4 different tunings on different songs. I'm still a guitar short
And i dont have shitloads of money.
Back to the Telecaster; harmonics are awesome on it, i dunno what you mean about that.
And lastly= Telecasters are metal as fuck
