- Mick loves Strats, Dan loves Teles: will this video help you decide on a favourite?
Life too short for long UA-cam videos? You can find timings for interesting bits and go-to sections below.
A very warm welcome to the show, and thank you for being here. Regular viewers will know that Daniel is a confirmed Fender Telecaster devotee, while I (Mick here) have given most of my playing life to the Fender Stratocaster.
In this video we thought we'd have a bit of fun and fire off five reasons each, explaining our connection with these all-time classics. Of course anyone out there who already has a favourite won't be swayed by this video - and nor should you be! Moreover we hope it will do three things.
First, it may help those of you who are perhaps less au-fait with Strats and Teles, to understand some of their key charms, if you're thinking of taking the plunge.
Second, for anybody struggling to bond with either, this video might give you some ideas or even a better question or two to ask, in order to help you enjoy your guitar more.
Thirdly and lastly, if you are already a confirmed Strat or Tele, hopefully there will be something here for you to try, or maybe even convince you that having both is really the only sensible way forward.
We filmed this just before England's second Covid lockdown kicked in. As such Simon wasn't around and Mick decided a 25mm lens on a full-frame camera was a good idea. So, a) sorry you can't see the dB meter and, b) we promise never to go this wide again. Some alarming angles for sure. Ahem.
Enjoy the episode!

There’s a music shop joke that nothing sold more Les Pauls than Jimmy Page’s Telecaster.
Hahaha! LOVE that!
Most studio songs he did record with a les Paul
@@fchampd4512 Fake News!
Ya tru
Verrrrrry funny! 2 thumbs up :o)
I watched this because I couldn't decide which to buy. After watching this, I made my decision. I'm buying both.
YES!
Did the same. Player Strat and AP II Tele. Awesome through the GTX50 with the GTX-7 foot switch!
I bought both I get tired of one I play the other I love them both.
This is the way
I am 15 years ahead of you. I also have a Les Paul and Gretsch White Falcon. They each have their own personality, and all have their own niche. I play a lot of covers, so they all come in handy for the right sound for the right song. But for pure playing please in my own time, the Tele gets the prize.
"Wobble bar", "plectrum ", "scratch plate"…. I love you people on the other side of the pond.
When I said that, I truly meant it with absolute love and respect. Just to be sure!❤️
I used to be a strat guy, now a tele is all I need to play any genre... As you grow old, you realise a tele can do it all, and the simplicity is what is the best
I recently had this revelation. Had played Strats, Les Pauls, SGs for years. Recently played a Tele with the flat Nocaster style bridge pickup. Played one G chord in the shop and knew I had to have it. My god, the sound was biblical - more forceful and ‘bigger’ than a LP but with none of the ‘bloating’. All of the frequencies you want and none you don’t. Couldn’t really afford it, but got it anyway. Haven’t picked up anything else since.
You’re right though, I think you have to have played for a while and have some nuance/subtly to your technique to really understand what a good Tele can do. If you play like shit, it is unforgiving and will make you sound like shit. Genuinely think Leo got it right first time round though, amazing instruments once you know how to use them!
I havent really tried tele but i have been playing my beloved Hss strat for years and years and i just cant imagine playing withouth the whammy bar it extends the playability and expression so much.
@@rdb9936I definitely play like shit so….I’ll be sticking with my strat.😂
There’s no contest whatsoever: both.
truer words have never been spoken
YES!
Yup! I follow the same policy, both !
Nope, Strat.
Nope Tele
"After the apocalypse, everything that's left is cockroaches and Telecasters" - Greg Koch
Awesome, that quote should be on a shirt
And Keith Richards
And the Tele's still in tune
hukl and Keith
Greg Koch... what a legend....
Most things that come out of his mouth... are somehow legendary...
As much as a respect their tone.... they simply do not get the credit they deserve for how good they can play. Dan, Mick, thank you🥺
Ah man. Thank you!
I was thinking exactly the same! Their playing is sublime. Different styles to each other, both terrific.
Everyone's got a stratocaster but secretly wants a tele
Blend Switch ?
this is legit! sh*t
True! I have a strat, but really want a tele so badly
Love teles but starts are my favourite guitar of all time
LMAO I relate to this so badly. Always an S-style player from day one. Pacifica 012, Ibanez GRG170DX, Pacifica 112J, 112VM, Soloking MS-1 Classic, and now the gorgeous Squier Strat Deluxe in Daphne Blue. But finally added a Squier Tele Standard to my rig but the one I got was not in a decent condition. Sold it out to get a Bacchus BTE-1-RSM and really love it. Also just added Epiphone LP Special TV Yellow SC Pro for the sake of my first love to electric guitars were to LPs. Loving the P90s that blend so well with my strat and tele!
Tele's are phenomenal!!! Along with the ability to play any genre of music, at picnics or cookouts you can flip it over and cut your steak on the back, at gigs you can fight off unwanted stage guests, also if you're out on your boat in the middle of the lake and the engine fails you can use your Tele to row back to shore. AND... after all of this, the Tele is still in tune!
44scoots 😂
EPIC comment! LOL. So good.
You guys should switch for 1 month
And when you get your motorboat started, you can tie a rope to the Tele and use it as a boogie board!
🤣🤣
Q: Strat or Tele?
A: YES.
Pretty much
This is not an 'either or' proposition. Like Ginger or Maryanne, both is the only correct answer :-)
A: Variax
darn it, was going to post the same thing :)
Haha, that's right...I just can't affort both yet, so i chose a tele
God damn, telecasters cam go from sounding like a choir of angels to sounding like you got dropped kicked by god and have descended into the 7th circle of hell woth just a simple roll of the volume..
Why its the greatest guitar ever made
Both instruments are masterpieces. Kudos to Leo Fender!!
"All the wrong notes, in all the wrong order" should be a shirt
probably have to hit some royalties to Morecambe and Wise
seconded
I agree, I’d by one
I'd surely buy it
The Morecambe and Wise is “All the right notes, not necessarily in the right order”
When I was younger, I played a Strat. When I got older, I played a Tele. Now that I'm old, I play a hollow body.
I came here to make up my mind, now I'm more confused than ever 😂
Me to. Have a strat ;)
@@FleHei yeah - I ended up ordering Strat which came 2 weeks ago and i don’t regret my decision in a slightest!
@@dmitricarabetchi4269 When does the Tele arrive?
@@chrisblum8358 this summer most likely 😂
Totally agree 😂
Gotta own & play BOTH!!! Period‼️✨🎸😁😃🤣🤨🤘🏾😎
I am a Telecaster guy. My main musical partner over the last few years plays Stratocasters and Gibson guitars. One thing you fellows didn't discuss is how well the telecaster blends with other guitar sounds. To me, it is real magic the way the Telecaster and Stratocaster sing together. Thank you for your show during this time of isolation.
If I may add, to me it blends even better with a Les Paul! I used to be in a band where the other guy played a LP Special with P90’s, and my Tele with maple neck was just the pure opposite. That LP is full of low end, and my Tele just so bright and toppy. Together they sounded like one guitar played by two dudes!
Oh god thank you!! Yes, the tele cuts through when the other guy's rocking a humbucker, and adds smoothness when paired with a strat! No matter what i always seem to record with a tele at some point haha
Absolutely right
Last 2 guitar band I was in I swapped between a Strat and Les Paul and my lead guitar guy play a telecaster almost exclusively. Occasionally a strat. Absolutely great mix.
I had a Strat for years and considered it to be "the one" for me. An impulse buy of a Tele from an idiot that I once knew meant that I had both though I used it only at home. One night I turned up to a gig and opened the case to find the Tele ( the cases were identical) and I was horrified. After the first set I was smitten so much that I used the Tele for a couple of years thereafter. Solid, dependable and I couldn't get a bad tone out of it even with me playing it. Then I started taking both to gigs and found myself using Strat in first set and falling in love all over again though I still using the Tele for the more lively second set and, up until CV19, that was the pattern. So for me I love them equally for their differences in character. I'd be hard pressed to pick a favourite but if I could only have one I reckon I'd go tele but hold on, I'd miss positions 2 & 4...and so the internal debate goes on ad infinitum. Sod it, lets buy another pedal to take my mind elsewhere.
I've an idea! Put a bloody mid pickup in the Tele!!
@@kilgoretrout321 That's why I have a Fender Telecaster deluxe nashville
I’ve mained a Tele since I got mine in 2015, and if I don’t find exactly the right player to give her to when it’s time for me to leave this world, she’ll be buried with me. But I just got a Vintera 60s Tele last month, and she’s quickly gained a very special place in my guitarsenal. I can’t wait to see what happens when the CV19 vaccine has gone worldwide, and we can finally all play gigs again. I’ll be bringing both to my gigs, and I can’t wait to witness the eye rolls from everyone in the audience as I switch them lmao.
Teles can do it all. Even in metal, Jari Maenpaa recorded the Immemorial "Wintersun" demo with one. Though, Obituary did use Strats on their first album. They both work for metal, though a Teles bridge pickup can really cut through the mix even with heavy distortion. My American Performer is my prized possession.
@@JustPlaneStupid69 Can I ask why you choose the 60's Vintera over the 50's model? And is it the regular or Modified?
His tele has so much character and plays it like a boss. Love it
I come back to this every time i have GAS so Dan can remind me I already have the perfect guitar - thank you for making this lovely video!
If anyone still needs to prove to their spouse that they need both guitars, use this as your reference material.
As a long time Tele player, I'm a huge fan of the neck pickup sound. It's so smooth.
How would you compare it to a strats neck pup?
@@MegaZaki2000Not sure there is a single Telecaster neck pickup sound per se. But I think on older 50s style teles they have a bit more top/presence than a Strat neck pickup, although not in an unpleasant or harsh way. If you play with softer dynamics, to me they sound a bit more ‘archtoppy’ than a Strat. I think a Strat neck pickup colours the tone more and has a very specific sound, where as a Tele neck can perhaps do more things depending on how you play dynamically. Now the true question is, how much of these observations are differences in pickups versus the fundamental DNA of the guitar and pickup placement I don’t know, so take them with a pinch of salt. Those are my observations from playing multiple Strats and Teles though. Hope that helps
I might actually prefer it over the bridge one
Both of these guys really like both of these guitars and they enjoy listening to each other play. Great video.
I am a 39 year old American who's played guitar since 13. The Telecaster was a "country guitar" to me until age 25 when I fell in love with it and started realizing all the awesome rock music that was made with it. I just discovered Status Quo a month ago. I am in Telecaster Heaven! I saw the light! (My new favorite Tele riff)
Two great players, either option sounds great👍🏻
Indeed!!!
Oh no, Matthew Scott's here now... Mick, Dan and Matthew, the great UA-cam guitar trinity! 👍😊
Tele, the twang specialist. Strat, versatility
I'm sure any axe sounds great in Mick's & Dan's hands.
Definitely! This is like my 4th or 5th time watching this particular episode. Love it!
I read “Better Sound in Head” before “phones” showed up on screen and thought - hey, don’t talk about my playing!
Ahhhh! Love you guys! What an amazing video and energy Thank you so much!!! AAAAAHHHhH! The Fender Sound! Aaaaaahhhhh!
This is simply one of the best guitar videos on UA-cam ever. Thanks, guys. Amazing stellar work.
If TPS were to add a "It's got a wobble bar ferchrissakes!" shirt to the merch store, I suspect it would end up being quite popular.
Favorite moment of the episode lol
Best moment, Mick clicks on his TS: *loud screechy noises* "What the Fu-" *Error Rainbow*
7:02 "...But of course..."
This is the absolute greatest tele vs. strat video I've seen so far. Thank you!
Wow! I really loved this show! The discussion and respect you both during this debate showed is so great to see! So informative and talented too! 💙
Bought a Sonic Blue Strat just yesterday. All because of you Mick
Niiiiiice! Hope you enjoy it!
"In the end of time, after the nuclear apocalypse, there will only be cockroaches and Teles left. And the teles will be in tune." -Greg Koch
Brilliant definitions of the Tele vs. Strat. I intuitively already knew all of this, however, you two brought focus & clarity into the differences.
This was a great conversation and great playing. It was nice to listen to you both!
Find someone who looks at you the way Mick looks at Dan when he sustains a note.
@Chris E. jahahah
Jerry Reed's Tele pickin' on Amos Moses is everything you need to know about the Tele/Country relationship.
I have a Strat ( must have 2 and 4 in my life), Tele, and Jazzmaster. I’m totally a single coil guy unless it’s a Gretsch. Now I just need more of each. You guys are such amazing players and don’t give yourselves enough credit. Thanks for you knowledge and passion for TONE !
Love the banter between you two blokes. Also, love those facial grimaces, too. Keep up the outstanding work, my UA-cam friends.
Strat + Fuzz sets off that tuning fork in my heart.
Thank you for mentioning Ted Greene. He's maybe the most underappreciated master of the instrument I can think of and deserves the love.
For me, the design of the Stratocaster is perfect, its weight, its shape, etc. I think sometimes people look for other guitars because the Strat is "the most common" and they want something different but they forget how great guitar it is
this has always kept me away from strats... only recently ive recognized the s shaped hole in my life
@@smithcustomguitarco I know right? If many of the best guitarists use it there has to be a reason haha
@@juanisimo7 see that's part of the problem - it's the most common AND the most prestigious guitar. like can i really just casually rock the same axe hendrix did?
answer: fuck yea
@@smithcustomguitarco Imagine how awesome Jimi would have been with a Freeway switch on his Strat...
As old as the Strat and Telecaster are, they still look modern and their shapes are how a guitar should look.
Totally agree!
Strats still looks modern, not sure if the Telecaster does.
To me, the design of the Telecaster looks rather old fashion, very much like a product of the 1950's. Not that this is necessarily a bad thing.
a lot of new guitar designs are basically strats and teles. so every year Ibanez or Jackson or Schecter or about half the industry (except most notably Gibson 😂😂) puts out new guitars that are derivative from one or the other, so not sure how they wouldn't still look modern.
we get reminded of them every new model year! 😅
@@theoverunderthinker how should a guitar otherwise look? Those are the classical designs. Look at the Parker P36. One of the ugliest designes ever. Stay old fashioned:)
Every time Dan goes full “rock” he becomes visibly giddy. Never fails to make me laugh 🤘😂
The only thing Dan missed is the funky middle Tele position (a la Prince).
Princes custom tele only had the two singe-coil pickups, no third.
Yup, I missed the middle position too, but also as the ultimate clean rhythm sound.
Agreed. I played funk on my strat for the last 4 years but recently got a great tele and am living in that middle position now
Yes, that's my favourite tele position, too!
99 percent of YouTele videos never go near the middle setting--which to me IS the Tele sound.
Guys you are amazing! The way you do it how you put your soul into that - I couldn't stop myself from leaving this under the vid!
Whoaa, Dan's playing on the tele neck pickup... I've been clean from marijuana for several years now, but god, had I heard this before I would have never needed anything else to soothe my mind. Thank you guys, greetings and love from France.
Strat or Tele? Everybody said it and everybody's right: both. And I may be invoking wrath here, but I would put Jazzmasters in the mix as well.
You’re not wrong! Ive got a ‘77 mustang I love too.
Jazzmaster is the best i my opinion. Tele is the most versitlie.
Jazz players prefer tele
@@raptortv7751 Yeah, Jazzmasters are not really jazz guitars. Surf & alt rock.
@@TheFrontyer I’d argue that an HSS strat is more versatile
Actually pretty impressed with Mick’s acting at the beginning.
Thanks!
They were snubbed for the Oscars. They should have won
@@garrettboomerbender no way! They'd both get hooked on that night-life! Coke and hookers and high heels and all that shirt that should have never been invented!!
Great video. Not just another boring comparison, but an actual extensive demonstration of the capabilities of both instruments. Thanks for this high quality content!
I enjoy your guys input soooo much!!! a lot to take note of ... thanx so much
Wow Dan, that bit you played on the '52 neck pickup...gorgeous! I could listen to that on repeat for a perfect mellow Saturday morning.
I have my main Strat set up to "Jeff Beck Spec" and I can hammer on the "wobble" bar and it comes right back in tune.
I once played 5 gigs in a row without touching the tuning keys. In the wintertime...
It can be done. Stable set up.
One trick is to install the (3) springs all in line from the claw to the trem block. I noticed the one Mick was playing first had two springs on the outside wound strings claw and one on the high strings. If it works great. But I wouldn't do it that way personally.
I'd still love to hear you two do a record. Mick panned left and Dan panned right. It would be a treat.
The stratocaster is the sexiest guitar shape ever made.
I’m a strat guy but the shape looks like a pulled tooth
@@funky12374 LMAOOOO
@@funky12374wow I’m never going to unsee this now
5 strats and a full effect board - 2.5 teles
Tells you the whole story
When Mick did the middle position Strat thing, Dan should have come back with the Tele middle. Nothing chimes and spanks like that Tele middle. I'm primarily a Strat player and have mine wired with a pull pot to get the neck/bridge combination. But when James Brown comes up on the set list it's time to grab my Tele and get down and do my thang.
I had to laugh when Mick realized in the intro that he didn't have a bar on that Strat and tried to pull the bridge up with his thumb. Back when she only had her iconic red Strat my friend Laura Chavez would reach back with her 3 open fingers and pull the bridge forward. Couldn't do any wiggle with it but worked for the occasional dive. And people couldn't figure out what she was doing.
Fat rock Strats, Michael Landau's live Baked Potato CDs. I'm Buzzed or Big Bulge. There's a video where he explains how to play I'm Buzzed. Turn on the Myriad and TS along with some harmonic trem and give it a shot, so much fun you won't want to play Hendrix licks for awhile. :-)
Ive been watching since you guys started, and was a humbucker only pretty much my whole life......both of you ,with your amazing single coils, and tone, made me a believer, then i made the switch......wow...... i will forever be a single coil player! So thankful for your great knowledge!
I always come back to this video it's so good. I've concluded that Dan with a Tele is one of my ear's favourites. Whether it is awesome cleans with reverb/delay etc or if it's heavy rock, I love it!
Very informative, and helpful as always! I have 2 strats, and a tele, and you have helped give me new ideas, & appreciate both more!
I have a Strat, Tele, and 335. I've pretty much for years been a "Strat guy" but have always loved Tele's but just didn't have one. So a couple of years ago I got a Tele finally and honestly I have an incredible bond with that guitar. My buddy was recently at my house and I was playing all 3 and he was absolutely floored by the Tele and he's a straight up "metal guy" but he just couldn't believe what a Tele could do. I personally think of a Tele as the ninja of the guitar world. People just don't see it coming and when they realize what they're listening to they just can't believe it. I still love Strats and Tele's both though. It really just depends on what you're going for.
Strat for comfort,neck pickup and better adjustability, tele for everything else
erm… Tele for neck pickup ;)
I really think the strat sounds better :\
I think Teles have an annoying *HERNK* to the bridge pickup, and the neck pickup isn't as good as a strat neck.
You guys are just delightful to listen to. Thank you for making this show. You are improving people's lives
Thank you Justin!
Ted Greene was amazing!! The videos of him improvising Baroque-style counterpoint while having a conversation are simply astounding.🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
I was listening to this in the background while working on a project when I heard that twangy bend and dropped everything, picked up my Tele, and learned it. Thanks, my doods! Another lick in the wall. :)
Thank you for reading the settings on the Tube Screamer during the "Eb tuning" section. Even watching on fullscreen, I can't see where the dials are set, and appreciated you telling us. I know that even viewers who have the same pedal shouldn't expect the exact same sound at those settings because potentiometer values vary, but it is still helpful to have a general idea of how this pedals are set for a particular sound.
Really liked that...two great musicians not only show there point of view and guitar knowledge, but also zum stylistic and decent stuff!!! Nice!
What a lovey couple of blokes.
You can tell they really get a kick out of hearing each other play.
Nice video 😊👌🤘
Love the show guys! This episode has been long anticipated. I own a couple of Strats and a Tele. I love both but as time goes on I find myself gravitating towards the Telecaster. I agree with Dan, there is just something about the simplicity of it. Thanks guys and greetings from Minnesota. Stay safe!
boy oh boy !
the way you were able in this video to demonstrate on your instruments what you explained that you like about them was utterly amazing.
just brilliant.
thanks for this video !!
..and one thing is for sure - we all need a strat and a tele :)
Here is another example of why I just love this channel. Great video guys.
Both! You guys are great. Thank you!
Nothing I like better on a Friday than two men fighting with axes! 🤘🏻🎸😁🎸👍🤘🏻🎸🤣👍🤘🏻🎸🤣
You guys are awesome. I found your channel about a month ago and I can't get enough. Hello from Little Rock, Arkansas!
A little past Little Rock, but a long way from ooooover youuuuu!
Thank Ms Womack.
Welcome Jason, wonderful to have you here!
Very comprehensive and entertaining - Great!
Great playing, amazing sounds!
Suggestion: If you want a humbucker tone from a single coil strat, you should try one with the Dan Armstrong wiring. It allows you to blend the bridge (or neck) and middle in series, effectively creating a humbucker.
Started as a Strat guy, but over the years I've become a full Tele convert. It's what I reach for 9/10 times or more, no fuss does everything brilliantly.
You both always play well but I have to say, Dan you were on fire today! And across all genres too. Loved it. Well done to both of you and Good luck in the new year.
Informative and entertaining, as always!
Never before have I clearly been able to point to the screen and say "I'm a Dan" like in this discussion. Nice work guys.
I grew up playing a Tele and I owe my disparate, non-specialised playing styles to its spectacular versatility. Great episode, love the friendly competition!
Nashville Tele with contours, Strat Middle pick up, and strat neck. Best of both worlds!
absolutely fantastic demonstration
Can we take a moment to adore the cutting heads intro. Jack Butler's gonna like you.
Ha!
"That is the sound of the ages". I would love to see a series on this! Similar to the "How to sound like" but with more detail and history.
Very interesting. I have both and see the benefit of both of Leo's creative ideas. Really well done!
I think I mentioned before, you two are FRIGGIN AWESOME!!! I'd probably be better off spending the time I've spent watching TPS practicing, but undeniably your videos have made me open some of my guitar cases after nearly two years, and for that both of you have my SINCEREST GRATITUDE!
The time hasn't been wasted as I've learned SO much from following your U-tube Channel.
The dynamics between you two is absolute artistry, and it's that symbiotic diversity of both knowledge and styles that have me not only entranced, but reignited something inside me that I thought I had lost forever.
THANK YOU!!! -E-
Watching this confirms I’m a telecaster person
0:24 Oh god, now we know WHO PLAYED THE CHANNEL INTRO!!!!!!
You betcha!
Love that you guys focused on specific strengths of each instrument instead of a broad comparison of tones.
After a long search for a telecaster I have finally found one. I now know why Dan loves them. Thank you guys love this show haven't missed an episode since I started watching
The Strat seems to have much better publicity than the Tele. I went through most of my electric guitar playing life without even trying a Tele but now I finally have one I like it much more than any Strat I ever tried. They are so *real* .
I loved this episode! The intro was great 😂. I was wondering if you guys could do a episode on reverb, like a big one where you go over 10 useful ways to use your reverb pedal, how they work (like how you did the overdrive one) and your favorite tones. Cheers guys you rock!
This was awesome guys! Excellent video. I especially enjoyed the camaraderie as well
great video guys! very educational! really enjoy it!
i watch it with my reissue 60´s strat hanging from my neck and now i confirm that i also need a tele!
love you both, keep on the good work.
This is beautiful, but it should be titled "Strat and Tele: A Love Story" rather than versus. I don't see any pitting one against the other; it's a celebration of differences. And in that light, while my Tele has been my #1 for 15 years (and even more so with the recent upgrade to '64 Pure Vintage pups and pots), I've recently bought a Gibson LP Special Tribute P-90 which is utterly divine. The middle position is just sublime. Bonus points for it being the best SMELLING guitar I own. Did not see that coming.
nothing beats the smell of a gibson.
I think people just put vs in the titles because it picks up good in the search engines. Words like "and" get filtered out because they are so common in English. I totally agree with what you are saying.
My Gibson smells amazing too.

@@simross3914 NONSENSE! Nothing beats the smell of a MARTIN!! Its been fact checked so dont bother disagreeing! I've had my Martin for about a year and it still has that "new Martin smell". And I doubt it's going anywhere cause I've played Martin's much older than mine and they still have "that" smell. What does a Gibson smell like anyways?! Uneven lacquer and quality control mistakes with hints of deep seeded regret? I'm pretty sure "Regret - For Men by:Gibson" isnt going to be anyone's favorite new trendy cologne anytime soon!.....Lol only kidding, take a deep breath before responding.
Guys, an idea for a show might be a That Pedal Show Chord book. It could feature anyone who's played on previous shows that had a chord that you liked so much you adapted it into your playing.
I love this! Mick here.
Watched loads of these shows and only this one made me realise how good a player Dan is - fantastic
Many years I wondered which guitarsound I liked so much. But never imagined that it could be a Tele. This Great Sound of Robben Ford.
