Get yourself as nice of a Strat as you're able to. Check a bunch of them out. Teles are bitchen also but I find them harder to set up or adjust at times, depending on the guitar. I have two nice Strats and two Telecasters. I'm a Strat guy but I'll play the heck out of a Tele also. Get a good Strat first and you won't be sorry.

Meh. I like both. I've really been on a Tele kick lately. Listening to a lot of early Zep lately and the Gear Acquisition Syndrome (G.A.S.) is starting to set in. Really like the simplicity of the Tele but, having started out on Strats, that body style just feels more comfortable to me. I'm definitely going to get a Tele in the very near future though. Just get whichever one feels best, I guess, especially if you're planning on having both eventually.

I have both. I started with a tele. I would recommend getting the strat 1st. It's more versatile. The tele is nice too, but it's a little more limited in the tones.

I'm just the opposite as ExiledonMainSt, the tele is more comfortable to me. I never could get used to the contour body, feels like it's always trying to tip face up.

I got 2 Teles before my first strat. I don't regret it. But I will say this my next guitar will probably be a better Strat than I have. Try them both and get what you like best. In the end thats all that matters.

IMO, a Strat. A lot more versatile as previously mentioned.

I have both: got a Tele first, then a Strat.

The answer is definitely BOTH!
