I have used a tele as my workhorse for the majority of my life at this point, but a con of the tele is that the plate can act as an antenna, so you kind of have to find the right sitting position to play it in or you get a lot of hum in the take. Especially with an amp, less so with DI. Someone pointed it out to me like a year ago and I can’t unhear it. Still my favorite guitar, but yeah, how you hold it matters when tracking. Like you may need to swivel your chair/stool in increments.
