Ok, I have never been in this part of the Fender Forum before; however, I have been thinking about buying a Telecaster. Where better to get an answer on Telecasters than this area?

Honestly I do not like the way they look, but the reviews I read make me want to try one out. I understand that they play beautifully. The only thing that I do not like about the Telecaster line is the Headstock. I like the Stratocaster headstock and thus I own a HWY 1 SSS Stratocaster. I have noticed that there is a '72 Reissue with a Stratocaster-type Headstock on it. I also have seen the HWY 1 Telecaster in the store and been tempted to try it out.

Long story short, I play Hard Rock, Metal, and Blues mostly. When I go to the Guitar shop, which model should I concentrate on for those types of music?

Thanks for the info. I wasn't too sure of the J-5 series. Not really a Manson fan, and guitar work is slightly too heavy. I have been looking at the '72 Reissue. Looks cool. I am going this weekend to play some and see if Telecasters are my thing.
