Advice on a new guitar. - General

i'm buying a fender, but don't know which to get a Stratocaster or a Telecaster?

Try both. Get the one you like the most. :smile: [url]http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=911844[/url]

I've never tried a strat, but I own a tele and it's wonderful :keke:

Try them both at a music store, pick the one you like.

Why a Fender? I mean, why pick the brand before you pick the model?

I prefer the Telecaster myself. Up to you, can't go wrong if you love both of them.

Stratocaster, there are more things you can do with it . Never liked the telecaster look, didn't feel well sitting down either. The Strat feels better that any guitar I have ever played in my lap and It has features like 3 pickups and the tremolo that the telecaster lacks. The Hss Strats are good as well.

Telecasters are full of tone in my opinion, I always feel satisfied with my Telecaster in means of sounding full.

I'd probably go with a S/S/S stratocaster. Strats are great guitars. You can really drive the shit out of a good strat and it'll still be clear sounding and articulate. Teles are great too, but not in the same way as a strat. A nice powder blue or white strat is great; not a fan of black or red myself.

I'd also say I'd go with the stratocaster. They have awesome sound, plus they look a lot better.

I'd go with a strat, personally.

I own a Squier Strat, I like the sound and the shape, but I hate the tele shape, but I guess that's just taste.

I'd go with a strat if it's going to be a first guitar, because of how versatile they are. Telecasters are cool too, though. Just get what you prefer the sound of.

Just try them, you'll find the one you like. I like Telecasters because they have clear, bright tone. I like Strats also, mainly because they're a universal guitar.

Telecasters, in my opinion, are better for lighter music than a strat and vice versa.

Listen to entombed...the lead guitarist used a telecaster for just about all their recordings...here's a little sample: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49YU3hL_Q6k[/media]
