Hello all. I wouldn't consider myself that experienced in acknowleding all the subtle differences between tele- and stratocasters sound yet, so thought i'd ask for some advice here. 8)

Planning to get myself one of the forementioned guitars, but i have a rather specific sound in mind which i'd like to achieve in the end. This isn't a strat or a tele sound per se (rather some old school danelectro), but my guess is it can't be too far away from the sounds produced by single-coil strats or teles.

Hence the question, amps and playing style left aside, which one of those guitars - a strat or a tele - would be suited better for this? Or might this sound be quite a generic single coil sound which both of those guitars might handle reasonably well? 8)

The sound itself is from the older and grittier Cat Power :wink:

Thanks in advance!
And sorry for a completely unoriginal topic. :wink:

So, no-one can really tell if those tones could be achieved better with teles or strats? : o Wow.

Well, I give her a go....

Did they do any instrumentals?
I am sorry, but I could take her wailing. :roll:

As to a guitar the Telly would be closer then a strat, but a strat may be more comfortable to play.

Either way, a lipstick pick up is unique and either guitar may need to you replace the pick ups with a lipstick type.
