Sorry I posted this before on the strat forum but couldn't retrieve my account to reply... anyways:

I had an ibanez rga42bk but the pickup just gave up on me so I need to get a new guitar. The local store here has the fender blacktops for sale and I was wondering if I should go for the stratocaster or the telecaster. I am a newbie and like to play rock / metal type of music. The sales at the store was telling me to go for the telecaster blacktop cause of the humbucker pickups in these series gives greater attack for rock/metal style.

I would like to get some advice as to whether to go for the strat or the tele blacktop cause I really don't know their difference. Most people in the stratocaster forum told me to choose the strat cause the tele has a more 'softer' tone?

Thanks for your time again guys!

Why not try a few guitars within your price range and see which you like best.

You didn't mention if your old Ibanez has a whammy bar or not. If you need the whammy for your playing style, then a Strat is the way to go, IMO. If you're used to having a humbucker, then check out the American Special HSS Strat. That's what I have and it's a great guitar.

Okay -- I promise -- that's all I'll say about a Strat on this Tele forum, but the guy asked, y'know?? :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
