There are plenty of famous telecaster straight-ahead jazz players (not fusion, jazz-rock etc... but more traditional jazz, bebop style, hard-bob etc):
Telecaster jazz players
I cannot think of any famous 335 straight-head jazz player... what could this mean?

I love this story. Mine is similar but different.
In my household music was everywhere. My mother was a very gifted classical piano player who opted to be a house wife. She would open up a Rachmaninoff piano concerto, sight read through it, make a mistake on the 6th page, say "damn" and shut the piano for six months. I however practiced it diligently!
In my house my folks were always playing great jazz records: Basie, Mulligan, Brubeck, but they had a special place in their hearts for big band and especially Ellington. So all of that, in addition to great vocalists (they loved Tony Bennet) and of course classical were always in my ear.
Fast forward to the arrival of rock, and of course I was a goner and switched to guitar.
So no swapping of tunes, but a wonderful sharing of tunes, and the piano was a great foundation for theory and later, composing.
Oh, and yes, there was a banjo and old Maybelle and Gibson guitars hanging around, plus a piano, and my favorite- a Hammond organ!
Very thankful for those days, and fun to reminisce. Oh, love Telecasters and 335's, looking for a thin line, but mostly into archies now! A '60 ES345 was my main gigging guitar for many years though, so gotta go with the thin line.
