      as far as i'm concerned, nashville teles are the best of both worlds. that middle pickup on the strat is so underrated, and it complements a tele bridge pup like they were made for each other.

    If I was stranded on a desert Island and I could only have one electric guitar it would be a telecaster. It is an absolute work horse and I love my tele. I will never get rid of it and it is surprisingly versatile. That being said, I also love my strat, but it's more situational. With a lot of the stuff I play it could go either way, but I usually prefer my strat for more slacker rock type stuff.

  • @sEaNoYeAh
    @sEaNoYeAh 7 місяців тому +6

    Overdriven Tele bridge is the purest electric guitar sound to me. Rock and roll in one combo.
    Growing up I favoured Strat, as an adult the Tele is just magnificent. The functional no nonsense look is gorgeous, I prefer simplicity and tuning stability to any trem, and roll off the volume and you're into Strat territory anyway.
    Teles are just a bit more muscular tonally, and even though humbuckers are an extra level in terms of mids and general output so many great Tele tones over the years have been mistaken for Les Pauls or humbuckers generally. Stairway to Heaven solo, Telecaster. Killing in the Name, Telecaster (in fact basically all Rage Against the Machine drop D tracks are Tele).
    Sign me up for Team Tele. Strat Fam has my respect though.

    I bought a Player Plus Tele very recently and absolutely love it. Fantastic guitar. I have a Strat as well, though with a 10-way switch.
    Strat: neck pickup
    Tele: bridge pickup

    • @raoulduke344
      @raoulduke344 7 місяців тому

      ​@@Bob-WhitingOh definitely. Do you have one as well? I'm going to get the Freeway 6 way switch for my Tele, too. There are differnt ways to wire up the Freeway, and the way mine is, in 6th position it's the bridge/middle series, the 8th position is the neck and bridge in series, and the 10th is the neck/middle in series.
      Personally, I think the 6th and 10th positions sound better than a coil split humbucker in the neck and/or bridge.
      Great range of tones (on the series positions there are actually 2 different tones you can get when you roll the middle pickup's tone pot all the way down.
      I couldn't recommend them enough for an SSS strat.

    Love both, but I think I prefer Strat for versatility and having a tremolo system. Soundwise both sound fenderish and frankly, they sound similar still. Strat has a bit more color, tele is a bit brighter and twangy.

  • @kingmodestfirst4487

    The telecaster is simple, solid, reliable, the bridge pickup is comfortable in all styles even hard rock. The strat has a nice body but I prefer the headstock of telecasters.

    Out of my first 7 guitars I had, 6 of them were Stratocasters. Mainly because of its shape. But times have changed and so have I and now half of all my electric guitars are Telecasters and I only kept two Strats.
    If I was given the opportunity to choose between the best Telecaster I can think of and the best Stratocaster I can think of, it will absolutely be a Telecaster again. ❤

    If I hadda pick one it'd be the Strat, altho the Tele is a close third, especially if I'm playing either of my two Squier Contemporary Telecaster HH (one converted to a SSS).
    My second favorite type? The Les Paul. Sorry, Fender/Squier. 😅
