Strat vs Tele

Forums: NZ Music,

Tele all the way!!!
It's a brighter more versatile sounding guitar.
It's a kind of silly question though. Kind of like 'whats your favorite colour?'. All down to personal pref.

If I have to choose, Tele Deluxe in black
But I reckon the Gibson Les Paul is a much better looking guitar

Totally depends on what sort of style and sound you are trying to pull off. My favourite guitarists - Johnny Greenwood, David Gilmour etc - use both kinds. Personal choice really. My favourite has to be a 70's tele. Yum.

niether i like jazzmasters or jags

I prefer the explorercaster.
okay so there's no such thing.
Gibson rule.

I love the pop twang of a Mustang. But I'd go for a Tele over a Strat. Purely for the feeling of the thing...

Tele Deluxe. I think Leo Fender was having a laugh when he made the tele headstock. Go for the Deluxe for sure. Mal from Humber had a great sounding one!
Yea, prefer the Tele over the Strat. Still, a combo of the two is great for recording gat tracks. Better still, get a Gibson SG.
Nice.

I love the sound that other people can get out of a tele, (Johnny Greenwood etc) but I've found I've never been able to tame a tele to be honest. I wish I could Paul from PanAm used to have a red left handed Tele which had a wicked high end and cut through the live mix beautifully (don't know if he still uses it) now he's recently purchased a strat the sound and tone he gets out of it is pretty grunty. With a strat You can kind of immitate the sound of a Tele with, and you can also have the warmth of a Les Paul. A very versatile guitar.

For a couple of recordings I've used my Les Paul (old faithful) for crunch and used a aquire strat copy (it's all I can afford at the mo) for it's tone in the quiet parts.

Tough question. But I don't think I can deny the sheer style of a Tele.

Sorry, havin a rough day on the keyboard today. I meant a 'Squire Strat copy' I always was a useless typer.
