Really? I'd give the Les Paul the nod to rock. Either that or the Stratocaster. Off hand I can name some pretty iconic rock names attached to both the Les Paul and the Strat. Hell, Angus Young even uses an SG. But I can't think of anyone who I associate with a Telecaster. Not that they're bad guitars, just that I don't think of them when I think "rock'n'roll flipping a middle finger to everything".

  Ok. Springsteen. Congratulations? I'd still put Telecasters behind Strats and Les Pauls in terms of popularity and fame.

    Telecasters are extremely common among the country artists.

      Which isn't exactly "rock'n'roll".
