NGD I went to the Dark Side!!

For the record. No one in this fine upstanding forum will think less of you for purchasing a Strat. Many of us have them and love them.

And I promise….. not one member will say “I told you so” if sometime in the future you decide you can’t live without a Tele….. Not one!!! Maybe 10 or 20……… but not one. :pound-hand:
No issues with a Strat, me. Many a fine Strat out there!! Glad I finally got one!
A Tele...... yeeesh......
 
Some more art plus a couple of previous guitars shot better.

I personally like the Tele shape, but what I don't like, is that twangy twangy sound you get from those ones from yester year. Now i have a Tele that doesn't have that old fashion Tele sound, I have what Fender calls the modern Tele, its tones are great, can sound like having Humbuckers and like a Strat as well, but i have to say my Custom still has it over the Tele, but i still like the Tele shape, it just feels right for me, and i like the belly cut.

Cheers again on your new guitar mate! Enjoy that baby, its Sweeet!
 
That's a great guitar man. Watch out though, I had this happen to me about a year ago and now I play my Strats more than the Les Pauls.
Oh, and you might like a Telecaster Deluxe: two humbuckers and a belly cut. I ended up with a couple of those as well and also play them more than the Les Pauls now (they are serious hard rock machines).

But they STILL look like Teles!
Won't happen for me
Not sure about the longer scale, the Ibanez Prestige and L6 still feel like home to me
 
I currently have 4 Stats that I built to my specs. I had an HSS, but I sold it. I also had one with a Floyd Rose, which I also sold. So, I've had 6.
I have one Tele LTD Special that is a go-to, no matter who I play with or what I play. Everyone NEEDS to have a Tele!. View attachment 108965
Except me, I guess.
I don't play what's considered "normal" Tele styles and I just don't like them. Style wise.
Kinda like a car.
It might drive well and be comfy but if it's fugly do you buy it?

Like anything, it comes down to taste. Everyone NEEDS to like brussels sprouts? I do but I can see why many don't.
 
I wouldn't buy this either regardless of how it sounds! :p

We all give each other hard times about this guitar or that guitar…. All in fun. Personally. I have a Tele clone and a Frankentele that’s almost assembled. But you can’t make me buy a V. No real reason. Never played one. No desire to play one. They’re cute and all…. Just not my style.
