Lots of differences. Strat has the body contours, 3 pickups, a trem. Tele is a slab body, 2 pickups, no trem.

Plus the contruction of the bridge pickup/plate in the Tele is totally different than a Strat, which has a separate bridge and bridge pickup. The way the bridge pickup is mounted on a plate that's part of the whole bridge assembly gives the Tele it's distinctive "twang."

Tonally, the Strat has the 2 and 4 "quack" positions that can't be gotten on a Tele. Conversely, in a regularly-wired Strat, one cannot play the neck pickup and the bridge pickup at the same time, like you can with the middle position on a Tele.

I went through a Strat phase years ago but, excpet for trem work and quack sounds, much prefer Teles now.

I have both, but I like the Strat more.

Nice thread, I have been wondering the differences myself.
