Both. At least three of each.
-
I'm from San Diego California, USA and I will probably never go to Guilford or England for that matter and I watch every one of these videos. I live a mile from a Guitar Center and I can't fathom why they don't develop guys to do videos like this. Makes the world shrink and you feel like you are hanging with friends. Love your vids...
-
I’m a Strat guy but cannot deny the versatility of the Tele. I have heard it played on so many genres and it always sounded good
-
One day it just hit me, that teles are awesome!
-
I like the way the Telle sounds more but I like the way the strat feels more.
-
The answer is surely both?
-
I have both. Weighed it up for a long time, decided I really preferred a fixed tail to a trem system and bought a Tele. Then bought two Strats...
-
The Strat is maybe the most comfortable guitar, but the Tele is the best sounding (in my opinion), more reliable, and made for battle guitar ever made. I'm a fan of everything Leo Fender did, but the Tele is my favorite.
-
Having both, I've always thought of them like brothers. The tele is the older more dependable brother who could handle himself better in a fight with a Les Paul. The strat is the younger brother, more stylish and daring. Probably more popular with the girls. Dunno if that helps anyone with choosing between them😅
-
For me... Telecaster all day long. I'm 75 . Strat was my first electric guitar back in 1965. In 1966, I dreamed of having a Tele. Sold the Strat in 1968 and played Telecasters ever since.
-
Love Pete’s passion for the tele. He has a great “I’m in tonal heaven” face. His enthusiasm is infectious. Cheers brother
-
Strats are a lot more comfortable and have a better headstock and output jack placement, IMO. Teles are easier to set up though and probably more indestructible.
-
“Well try to keep this snappy” Checks time -46 minutes!
-
Had my Strat for forty years, got my T type in '22, I wish I'd had the T from the start, my strat has lived in its case ever since.
-
A Strat is not ugly, but a Tele is beautiful.
-
Both is the answer! For the record, Hendrix played the Purple Haze solo on a Telecaster. It was recorded on a night session after a gig where he had smashed up his own guitar!
-
tele, straight into a marshall, no effects, turned up..beautiful
-
Telecaster made the guitar click for me. Its simple, 3 pickup combinations with clean and dirty gives plenty of tonal variety. The bridge pickup especially with gain is made to rock and roll. Most of my favourite artist have been/ are strat players and I feel I can mimic some of those tones with a tele too. The tele allows me to be me 😄
-
Just want to give props to Oz or whoever is doing the editing... been watching over a decade, and seeing the improvements and little touches (masking out Pete and Lee/placing text behind, drawing the lines showing the contour differences between the slab and belly cut, etc.) are definitely seen and appreciated! Keep up the GREAT WORK in 2024!
-
I was always a strat guy for obvious reasons. Jimi, both Eric’s and on and on. But about 2 years ago I started to lean towards the tele. And now I get it. The tele is so simple but so awesome. And your 3yr old can drop it down the stairs and it’s still in tune. What’s not too love.
