I wouldnt want to be without a Strat or a Tele.

I don't think I could say one is "better" than the other for each is an outstanding guitar in it's own right.They both have their merits and very few if any drawbacks,both are versatile guitars that are suited for many genres of music in fact there's a Canadian jazz guitarest(I believe his name is Ed Rickart)who is one of the best studio guitarists in North America and he uses a Tele exclusively when most jazz guitarists use big hollow bodied jazz boxes.

Well the fact that the strat is the most copied guitar and the style is the biggest seller in the guitar market speaks for itself.

No no and no

Sorry, voted for Stratocaster even though I also like the Telecaster. For me the jury is still out on my opinion on the Starcaster.

Sorry, Starcaster vote for me, had the 70s one in mind.
On the other hand, I am still in awe every time I pick up a Strat.
For me, nothing compares to it, the feel, the voice, the presence... it's an organic communion.

I really like Tele's but I love Strats more so my vote goes to the Stratocaster. Just something about them feels right.

I agree with one of the older posts that the older Starcasters were great. I am not fond of of the idea of guitars that can be bought in a department store's toy section (the red flag has gone up).
