May I ask what guitar cable to use with my Tele's when playing sitting down ? With the regular cable I am always hitting the chair/couch . That's why I am asking about the proper right angle plug that would work . I have looked at the Fender Right angle cords and they look longer/deeper and might work . Any help with my dumb issue would be greatly appreciated !

I honestly never liked Tele's when I was younger.

Then a few years ago I got one.

Not vintage like these beauties, but my God!

I understand them now...

Those are amazing!
The same with me, but in my case, it took the right amp- a great tweed Deluxe clone- to get me to like Teles. Now they're my favorite with any amp!

I'm currently having lots of fun with the Esquire. Played it quite a bit last night with band rehearsal. I've never been a single pickup guitar lover, but this guitar sounds like it's from another planet!
can I pay you now to ship this guitar to me

A little update on my cord issue . I solved it with a Fender Professional Series Angled Instrument cable . It fits and works so I can play sitting down on the couch and not worry about destroying the jack . Thank You Fender ! :)
