Are you asking how do you get a Telecaster sound from a Les paul?, or are you asking how do you get a Les paul from a Telecaster. If you want a Les Paul sound from a Telecaster, have the stock Tele single coil pickups exchanged for "humbucking" style pickups, and this will give you a sound very similar to what you're looking for..... If you're trying to get a Tele sound from a Les Paul, have an EMG series "89" pickup installed in the bridge position on the Tele. The series "89" pickup has a push-pull pot which separates the single coil (on top) from the double coil (on bottom). Use the pot in the "up" position to give you a sound very similar to the Telecaster.
Although he had made the switch to a Gibson Les Paul prior to the recording of Led zeppelin II, Jimmy Page knew that this would not give him the sound he was looking for for Whole Lotta Love. For this reason Jimmy reverted to the Fender Telecaster (which he had used earlier in his career) when he had recorded Whole Lotta Love!
Les Paul's 'Log' was the first ever solid body electric guitar that was invented, but the first solid body guitar that was mass produced was the fender telecaster which was first known as the fender broadcaster before they changed the name. although some acoustic solid body instruments are found in folk and ethnic traditions around the world. Les Paul the guitarist invented the first solid body guitar and went to Gibson co. to show them his design. Gibson blew him off for over a decade before fender made the telecaster solid body, then Gibson came running back to Les Paul to look at his guitar. they agreed and soon after the Gibson Les Paul model electric guitar was produced, and the rest is history. but to the question the telecaster was the first to be produced but the Les Paul was the first made.

Get a good les paul and coil-tap the bridge position humbucker. When you split the coils it will give you a tele-type sound. Not exact, but with a medium-output bridge humbucker it will work.
Some popular electric guitar body names include Stratocaster, Telecaster, Les Paul, SG, and Explorer.
Maurice Gibb, the bassist and guitarist of the Bee Gees, primarily played a Gibson Les Paul during his career. He was also known to use a Fender Telecaster and other guitars, depending on the specific sound he was aiming for in his music. His choice of instruments contributed to the distinctive sound of the Bee Gees.
Danny's acoustic is a Takamine Jasmine ES31C. Or I'm pretty sure. His electrics are Fender Telecasters now. But he did use a Les Paul In several of their early videos you see them like Five colours, that girl, I'll Be okay, Room On the Third Floor, I wanna hold you. But in there newer stuff like Lies you see the Telecaster. And in the video for Friday Night you can see his Fender Stratocaster ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ohis acoustic guitar that he does most of acoustic performances (Including the "Noy Alone" acoustic at Wembly, atleast i think it was wembly) Well that is a takamine. Not sure what model. No idea what any of his electrics are. He and Tom both have Gibson guitars don't they? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Danny started off with Telecasters, switched to a Gibson Les Paul for the Wonderland album and returned to Telecasters for Radio:ACTIVE. Hey there.... So, mr. Danny Jones uses the Fender Telecaster models actually..... he uses a black one, a natural wood colour, and an yellow and black model.... He used to use some Gibson Les Paul model, but that was some time ago, in the last tours... His acoustics are Takamine. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the past Danny used Gibson Les Paul guitars mostly. He used a black Gibson Les Paul Custom (used in Wonderland DVD, That Girl, I'll Be Ok, Don't Stop Me Now, and many live performances), he also had a fireburst Gibson Les Paul Studio (used in Five Colors In Her Hair, and many live performances), a white Gibson Les Paul Custom (used in I Wanna Hold You, live performances), a Gibson Les Paul Goldtop (used in Just My Luck), a typical sunburst Gibson Les Paul (used in Ultraviolet, live performances), and a yellow Fender Telecaster a couple of times (used in Obviously, Sorry's Not Good Enough, Star Girl live performances). After some years, he stopped using Gibson guitars, and he switched to Fender guitars, specifically Fender Telecaster. Now he has a black Fender Telecaster (used in Falling In Love and many live performances), a yellow Fender Telecaster (used in Obviously, Sorry's Not Good Enough, Star Girl and live performances), a white Fender Telecaster (used in One For The Radio), a natural finish Fender Telecaster, a black (with white pickguard) Fender Telecaster (used in Please Please, and many live performances), a red Fender Telecaster (used in The Heart Never Lies, live performances). He also uses many acoustic guitars. His favourite is a Takamine EF341SC, the same that uses Bruce Springsteen and Jon Bon Jovi. He also uses other Takamine guitars, Taylor guitars and sometimes, he uses Tom's Gibson Acoustic Guitar.
Well of cause Les Paul invented the Les Paul but there have been manyrumours saying that they just put Les Paul's name on the great guitar. This guitar has the great hum bucking pickups that (as the name sugests) humbucks the buzz leaving a clean sound. Sorry I went a bit off track
A lot of things, Gibson Les Paul, Fender Telecaster, even an LTD ESP EC-1000, just to name a few.
God invented THE Les Paul to entertain us and make guitar players around the world want to go home and practice!Les Paul innovated the electric guitar by making it a solid body, that would not feed back as much as hollow body electrics (at a given volume) and had a unique sound. Gibson and Les Paul together invented the Gibson Les Paul signature guitar.
i dont know when or where but Les Paul invented it ============= No, he did not. The first electric guitar was the Rickenbacker Electro "Frying Pan", a Hawaiian guitar (lap steel), invented in 1931 and entering the market in 1932. Les Paul's "The Log" didn't come until later in the '30s, and had more influence on Gibson's later Les Paul and ES-335 models more than the first production solidbody electric guitar, the Fender Broadcaster (Telecaster).
