Now you're just trolling.
Not really. If I was trolling I would be arguing an opinion I don't personally hold simply to get a rise out of somebody. Not the case here.
I have argued the reason for why 1) I don't consider TDPRI to be a reliable data source and 2) why I don't consider it to be fully representative of Telecaster players as a whole, but simply a rather specific demographic of (mostly) elderly (mostly) white men with (mostly) the same music tastes. No trolling here.
And your list of Tele players cited here is no better:
3-saddle Tele bridge users, present and past, off the top of your head: Roy Nichols (dead), Redd Volkaert (elderly), Bill Kirchen (elderly), Muddy Waters (dead), Danny Gatton (dead), Joe Strummer (dead), Roy Buchanan (dead), Albert Lee (elderly), Steve Cropper (elderly), Mike Bloomfield (dead), Graham Coxon (youngest dude here at 47). 6-saddle bridge users: Keith Richards (elderly), James Burton (elderly), Albert Collins (dead) . Either/both: Bruce Springsteen (elderly). Not that numbers matter. Use what suits you.
This was my original point, albeit argued from a different angle. If you are only going to cite examples only of dead or geriatric Tele players then you are going to get skewed results. Your youngest guy on the list is 47.
No Kele Okereke or Russell Lissack (Bloc Party), Jonathan Higgs (Everything Everything), Jason Simon (Dead Meadow), John 5, Jonny Greenwood etc....
No trolling.
