Telecaster or Stratocaster? 

Great demonstration of the differences

Jimmy Page’s tele sold more Les Pauls than Les Paul

I sold my Strat and bought a G&L ASAT Classic S with alnico pickups. It's like a Nashville Tele, but better, IMO. The 2 and 4 positions are fantastic.

Rory Gallagher was probably the best Stratocaster player. I'm more of a Les Paul guy myself. I think I'd fancy a Telecaster.

Tele's introduced late '51.

Telecaster all the way for that unique Fender tone.
