Why?
- The Bridge Pickup. It's ballsier than a strat and with gain can cut through anything.
- Simplicity. One volume, One tone, 3 way, on one simple panel. It's liberating. It lets you get on with playing.
- Durability. It will never break. Sling it in a gig bag for gigs.
- Playability. As good as it gets.
- Looks. IMHO the most beautiful guitar ever made.
Model? There's a model for every wallet.A MIM will do it - Try a pre owned standard the modern C neck isn't skinny and feels good to play.
The big thing I love with my tele is the in between sound pretty unique. Personally I run the tone at around 60% for rhythm and chord work so when it comes to lead there's even more available. Its the one electric guitar I couldn't be without

Never actually owned a tele as I’m more of a Gibson player, I’m thinking I should really get a Harley Benton TE52 to give it a proper chance.

(Note that Keef turns the volume down first.)
because you are getting older
for me anything Fender in my mind is usually better as a partscaster not cheaper and as said you can get a Baja etc but you get to spec it just as you want. Try a Baja etc but get a nice light weight swamp ash body, a neck the size you like, pickups from Ash who does a really good line in Tele pickups, spend the time working the neck up getting it really nice and you will have a guitar as good or better than custom shop for 5-600 quid.
or Vintage or Harley Benton will get you a good way there for pocket money prices and a good diy setup.
its a stain under a thin oil finish.
