Just curious as to what people's preferences are. I am thinking of a new Tele for 2010.

If it's a good piece of wood the string thru brings it out more, the trade off is slightly higher string tension than top loader. I've converted a toploader to string thru but never went to other way. Just personal preference

I never tried a toploader. Jim Campilongo and Jimmy Page are notorious for them..so it can't be bad. Jim says the strings feel more rubbery.

get a string-through, with a bridge plate with the holes drilled for top-loading and you may try both modes in the same guitar :idea:
