i guess that the censors from the fcc miss all the stuff on tv and radio.


anyway, i know the tele is like the original and is held in high regard to many but i think it is ugly. it may be a great guitar but i cant get past its looks.
the strat is very iconic, as may be the tele,but is visually more appealing to myself. and all the other guitar makers seem to copy it.

Weird and Cheap?
Stupid question ignoring mode activated!!!!

There's no such thing as better as far as Strat and Tele go.A more appropriate question would which guitar is better suited to my type of music and my style of playing.Both shine in many genres of music .You have to go by what feels and sounds good to you.

Ah, Mr. Arkman aka Ben Dahoe aka Fender Strat aka Buford T, we meet again. I knew it was only a matter of time before you would haunt these forums again. Brad is on to you, clean it up or you just might go the way of the Dodo.

One is just as good as the other.
The only difference is the body, every other option deals with adding a trem or preferring a hardtail, the rest of the pickups and controls are at this point interchangable.

I like carrots so what's your point?

I agree with this!!!!!

What are you talking about fool!? If you don't have anything decent to say on these forums, don't say anything at all. You probably haven't played a Tele yet.. Judging from the nature of your posts- I beg to ask what you thought of a tele the last time you played one?
I assume you have enough wisdom and are capable of intelligent punctuation and debate

SHUT YOUR PIE HOLE FOOL!!!

Crikey!! What a memory - how did you do that? A couple of those usernames only made 15 posts, and long before you joined (officially). I'm impressed - and bewildered!

Anyhow. If little arkman is indeed some of those AKAs then serial trouble making suggests genuine personality problems rather than mere childish rudeness. Within which case we should make like the song and Just Walk On By.

I consider that a "note to self", from here on...

Cheers - C

This guy reminds me of several other AKA forum members that come and (thankfully) go away !!
I was hoping for a better start to our new forum year but.... It's not going to change my bright outlook for this forum!! Peace and good posts to all!!

There is no better or worse between the two. Just a different sound and appearance. I wouldnt want to give up either one.

Just think of how awesome a guitar player you could have been by now if you had only spent the last 10 years practicing instead of obsessing over pickups and roasted maple necks.
