I'm saving to upgrade to one of these guitars. Anyone have any opinions on each. I play mostly blues and classic rock and I'm not sure which way to go. |

I prefer the looks of a Telecaster and not many people show them off.I own a Strat but would have bought a Telecaster instead. |

Been a Strat player for about 30 of my 53 years. All genres, still play both Strats and Gibsons. There have been greats in blues and Classic rock that play both..Roy Buchanon, Richard Burton and Keith Richards play Teles, and Clapton and Jimi play Strats. Go to your music store, and set up an amp as flat as you can get it and demo both on the exact same settings. You'll know which sound is for you. The Tele is more brittle and high endy, and the Strat growls more. Your choice. |

I have to agree with BigHoney, both are great guitars and can sound awsome in blues and classic rock, the only thing I would add is take your amp to the music store and play both through your amp or if you dont already have one then play them through the amp you plan to get. We all hunt for that perfect elusive tone that we hear on cds from our favorite players so realize that your final tone may also depend greatly on your amp and the effects you use. |

Since I upgraded my G&L ASAT (Telecaster) to a G&L S-500 (Stratacaster), the ASAT hasn't seen daylight. Because of the passive tone and bass pots it can mimic the Telecaster sound so closely you'd need ears like a bat to tell the difference.
Whether or not the Strat is more user friendly is I suppose up to the individual player. Personally, I'm happier with the S-500's 12" neck radius than the ASAT's 7.
So, if anyone is interested in buying my "MINT CONDITION ASAT!" P.M me and we'll see if we can do a deal. |
