I love Tele's. I think people judge Tele's too quickly. They don't twang if you don't want them to. Brad Paisley for example is a country guitar player and plays a Tele. Jimmy Page, one of the greatest rock guitarists used a Tele on Zep 1, Stairway solo, and countless other tunes. A Tele will do whatever you want it to do. I own a tele and play everything with it.

I have tried many strats and have yet to find one I like. I love listening to Floyd, SRV, even Clapton and I like their sound, but everytime i try a strat it just doesn't feel (or sound) right.
