But how well does the Vela carry a Tom Morello type tone?
Given that he gets that tone with a Tele, I'd say there's no issue getting a VERY similar tone with the Vela. The stamped bridge of the Vela REALLY gives a Tele type tone. Remember, tone is a combination of the guitar, the pedals, the amp and the player. You could have his exact rig and not get his tone precisely because you're not him.
If you want a Tele, buy a Tele. I play my Vela more than my Tele. Every time I pick up the Vela I think, "Maybe I should sell the Tele." But I haven't, and I probably won't because I just LIKE having a Tele.
