I have just ditched the Strat after playing it for 15 years.
I had a beautiful CS Clapton Strat but once I tried a limited run of 52 Thin Skined Teles I had to trade...

I know it's early days, but I think I have found my soul mate.

There is just something so downright honest and simple about a Telecaster.

Every design aspect is simple and fit for purpose. There is nothing about the guitar that has been designed for asthetics.

And where else would you get that Twang? You can make a Tele sound like a bunch of other guitars, but how would you ever get another guitar to sound like the rear pickup of a Telecaster?

I'm looking into getting my first electric and I've narrowed my choices down to either the standard tele or standard strat. Both are fine guitars and I can't decide. The strat is godly in black and the tele is radiant in white it's tearing me apart.


You've gotta have both, I've owned Tele's and Strats in many different flavours over the years, American, $@! and Korean, I've ended up with and American Roadhouse Strat (bought new in the 90's) and a 03 american std Tele and I can't separate them (only now can I afford to own both). Different but both brilliant. The only advise I can give is play both, pick the one that suits you on the day and save for the other.... cos you will want both!

Perhaps one day they will make the Strelecaster. And the debat will be settled.
