Telecaster Forum...
Some of us here are there too (Hi, BDLH...), and they surely know much about tele's (and more...). Jazz can be discussed there, they (
we..?) are not just rockers or country pickers.
I don't have a 'real' tele myself (too expensive...); I have a Xaviere XV600, very like a tele thinline. Excellent guitar for many styles and sounds (and bright yellow..!).
Hope this helps.
