Hi im getting my 2nd fender this month. i already have a strat and im selling my epiphone SG

I mostly play grunge, Surf, funk, Blues and a bit of hard rock (Nirvana, Hendrix, Dick Dale, Pink floyd are my favourite bands)

I cant decide between the Fender Modern Player Marauder or the Fender FSR Standard Tele Copperburst

My strat has a rosewood fingerboard so i would want a maple neck.

what guitar looks nicer, feels nicer and sounds nicer and what would be best for me. Im obviously going to the guitar center nearby and try both out and buy it there cause i hate buying online guitars but i want some opinions.

They're very different beasts. The Tele is a hard tail, while the Marauder has a Strat style synchronized tremolo. The pickup configuration is radically different. I have both and they have their own sounds. The triplebucker in the Marauder is particularly nasty in humbucker mode and the P90 in the neck position is smooth and creamy. The Tele bridge pickup is twangy and raw sounding and nasty through distortion, with a bell like chime through a clean channel, while the neck pickup is smooth but not as powerful as the Marauder's Jazzmaster pickup. The Marauder has contours while most Telecasters are planks. The Marauder is more versatile than the Tele, but the Tele has a very unique sound that you can only get from a Telecaster. And the Telecaster is an icon of guitars while the Marauder is brand new and hasn't been associated with any famous musicians yet, if that kind of thing matters to you. You can't go wrong with either of these instruments.

And the Marauder is rosewood only. Nothing wrong with getting another rosewood fretboard. You can always get a third guitar with a maple neck.

If you want a Marauder with a maple neck, order one from the Custom Shop !
