G&L vs. Fender

[Tele Master]

Well supposedly the G&L's are higher quality with better pups and wood. But are they better than the actual Fenders?

What do you think?

Well, I hate to make generalizations, because they're never right in all cases. But I've played a few G&Ls and a hell of a lot of Fenders, and the G&Ls smoked the Fenders in terms of feel, sound, and look every time. I'd pick G&L over Fender any day.

I have only just played some (a tele copy made in Korea) which were about the same price as the MIM fender tele, it just blowed me away. Great guitars for the price.

I played one today, a Strat copy and the thing was the noisiest guitar I've ever played or heard! I don't want buzz for $1600.
