Go ahead, ask a question that can get an argument started why don't u? LOL

That is a timeless debate that will probably never end.
Not to confuse you, but here is another thought for you.
Instead of asking which one sounds better...
Maybe ask yourself which one plays or feels better to u...

If you put the right pickups and options on a strat,
it can be made to sound like a telecaster or
atleast get some of those "tele tones".

The same is true for the telecaster.
It can be made to get some of those "Strat tones".

With that said I am an avid Strat player...
I love the curves of the strat...
I can hold it, but it feels like its holding me.
I don't know what Leo was thinking, but he came up with the most
comfortable body shape when he designed the stratocaster (after the tele).

When I play the strat, it never hits me in the ribs... lol
...or anywhere else for that matter...
But I have to say I love the sounds of both!
I will likely own atleast one tele in my future...
With that said, If I had to choose between the two...
For me it's the stratocaster everytime (but that's just me).

For me it is a Strat that feels the best. There is nothing quite like it.

I like both but I have to admit I play my Telecaster more.

The Strat is definately more comfortable to play. Leo took advice from players of the Tele on how to improve it while he was developing the Strat. That being said, the Tele is a more forgiving guitar to play (IMHO). You can get away with being a bit sloppy on a Tele and it still sounds good. Get sloppy on a Strat and EVERYBODY knows about it.

Telecasters cause I like fighting my guitars and Strats don't offer enough fight.

Ok, well...I love the tone of a strat. There's no way around it, a strat is a strat. Even with guitars that are ment to be "better" strats, even if they sound like a SUPER strat, they just don't sound like a strat. You can make a tele sound CLOSE to a strat, but unfortunately, a tele will never be a strat. HOWEVER, I PERSONALLY think if you're going for versatility, although both are very versatile, a tele fits in with just about ANY mix, whereas sometimes a strat just won't play well with others...don't get me wrong, a tele sounds like a tele...and its a classic distinct sound all its own...but yeah, better? I just don't know :(...

The Strat was designed to play more comfortably.

I like both. My favorites are Telecasters and Jazzmasters.

I have 2 Fender Strats CS 69 Relic and a 1990 MIJ Strat 1 Wilson Brothers Strat Type (The Ventures Model)

I have 4 Telecasters and 1 Telecoustic. My Teles are MIJ, MIM, MIA

I'll usually take a Tele and Strat to a gig, My bandmate Plays a MIA Strat so the Tele or even one of my Danelectros is a good balance
