I've already placed this poll on amps&FXs but i would really like to find out what the majority of people feel about Fender Strats and Teles
thanks.

Both, they each have their strong points and my musical taste is more than wide enough.
Though I'm sure we had this poll or something like it recently, I hope they can fix the search bandwidth problem soon.

I can't vote since I like them both
Primeta, the search is working again.
I hadn't even noticed about the search. :D
The tele took me longer to like, I bought it because it was simple and shopworn (cheap/ predinged). Having spent some time with my Mexican version, I want another at some point, more carefully selected (maybe an American made)
The strat I liked from the first time I played in the store. I still don't own one, partly because I can't find quite the right Fender and want to try the G&L version. (Jeez I'm getting picky.)

Pulled the trigger on a 2004 50th anniversary american deluxe strat a while back and it's the closest i've ever been to the "perfect" guitar in my minds eye.
the neck is soooo sweet and the new SCN pickups and S-1 switching gives me more tonal variation then i know what to do with.

Of all my solid bodies I love my MIM Vaughn strat the best. I've put a bit of $ into it, but no really major changes.
Tele's . . .'eh I could take 'em or leave them. In my mind they're a great guitar, but they just don't make me want to crank it up and let loose.

Rock on :wink:
I've played a Strat for 20 years or so and love it (when I finally was able to understand it was nothing like the Les Paul I had).
It would be fun exploring a Tele for the next 20 years!
I think the name says it all :lol:
Immature? Of course I'm immature Einstein, I'm 50 and in a Rock and ROll band.

In theory I prefer the Tele, but I haven't played one I like as much as my Strat yet. Maybe if I took one home and gave it a good setup.
My choice would be a fixed brigde strat.

A little surprised by this Arjen. IIRC, you've recommended FR systems in more than a few GN forum discussions. I assumed you to be an avid whammy user.
Both the Strat and the Tele are good designs. I could decide by flipping a coin and happily live with the result. If it were Strat, Tele and LP, almost the same situation --- but if I got a LP, I think somewhere in the back of my mind I might suffer a bit of Fender vibe envy. The reverse is not true (don't think I'd be missing any Gibson vibe.)
