Both great guitars. I got a strat first, and it just feels better to me. I love the tele look and tones, definitely, and I'll probably get one (mostly likely a G&L ASAT though).

For my style of playing and the tones I want, I'm more of a strat guy. Love all the tones, the look, the neck, everything about them. I've played tons of guitars and would get anything I want if it was "me". Nothing will beat a good strat to me. Fits me and my style like a glove. Leo was a genius.

Teles are twangy, Strats are jangly. Wouldn't want to be without either.

Stratocaster Please!
I mean, Tele's have some good sounds but they have got to be the ugliest guitars made IMO.

Wow I love the way a Tele looks, even though I have heard a lot of people say they dont. Then again I hear people say they dont like the looks of a Strat.lol I have 4 of each so that tells ya what I think.

Funny. I could NEVER be with an ugly girl, and certainly not marry one. Women are insane and usually flake out after a few years, no matter how "nice" they seem to be. And at that point, I'd rather put up with that from someone that looks like Megan Fox than Rosie O'Donnell :)

I don't care what that silly song says :)

Same here. Why would you marry someone that you don't think is pretty. She may have a great voice but she is ugly. (Replace she with Telecaster!)

Both are great, but to make it easy, set up a schedule.

Strat on days ending in y.
Tele on days with a d in them.

I would like to know your opinions on both.


I love the look of the Strat, but the larger neck radius of a tele makes it a more comfortable guitar.... Pickups are similar or can be changed to be similiar.... Tele doesn't have the contour of a strat, making it less comfortable.... Strat is nice, but doesn't quite have the body for the tele 'twang....
