Having recently seen Pat Benatar with husband Neil Giraldo @ The Bergen Performing Arts Center in Engelwood N.J. I can attest that a Tele properly configured can suit all needs. Neil played both of his favored Teles that night, each equipped with Bigsbys' and switched between lead and rhythm effortlessly. The band had only three musicians, Neil, a bass player, and a drummer with Pat Benatar on vocals. Note: They were fabulous, as great as ever, never missing a beat. Now if I could be only half as profecient as he is with any of my guitars.
I guess that settles it! We can shut this thread down now, right?

No, I was suprised after seeing the B-52's late last year and all the guitar changes by Keith Strickland (at least six different Fenders and one Variax).
It's like I've been living in a "time capsule" as of late starting with Joan Jett and the Blackhearts in Oct of '08 followed by the B-52's with The 88 opening up for them. After that it was Blondie (the original lineup) and lastly Pat Benatar.
Now if only Dave Edmunds would hit the road again I would really be happy.

It seems that the great Jim Masoner used to like the Telecaster too on those years.
This is well documented on the Bob Dalley´s book (see the Jerry & the Diamonds chapter).
There´s also a picture of him sporting a Tele on the Lively Ones´ own chapter.
