    ... and forget the strat. If you only have one guitar, it should be a tele.

    The mex '62 reissues have binding. Double, I think. Only rosewood board, though.

    Link me! Thanks

    If you like playing guitar like Neil Young, then you NEED a whammy bar.

    As many of you probably know, I'm revamping my rig and getting serious about music...I currently have an Epi LP-100 that I just loathe and I wanna go with a more clean, blues sound...i was suggested a Strat, but I have always wanted a Tele. So my question is, should I go Fender MIM Strat or Tele? Also, does anyone know wabout the new 60th Anniversary Standard Strat Fender has out?

    I have a Mex Strat for about three years and it has always been great to me. But I recently bought a rosewood American Tele with lipstick pickup and the more I play it the more I am digging the tele. I can't explain it exactly but I find I play it differently - it is more of a groove than a lead, if that make sense.

    I recently have been fooling around with PRS and that is a great guitar too, just a notable mention here even though that isn't what you asked. Very hot sound.

    Oh, a PRS is my dream...but I don;t want one until I can afford a 22 or 24...right now, I want a nicer LP than what I have, and a decent Strat, with a kick butt Tele...just am atter of which to buy first?

    Hopefully I'll be playing through a Traynor soon with V30's.

    I vote Telecaster. Led Zeppelin 1 and 2 can't be wrong. Neither can the first Black Sabbath album :)

    i've got a ten year old mex tele my brother played the shit out of. i just polished up a few parts (need a new bridge because cosmetically, i can't look at my brother sweat/green grime) and love it. plays real fast, easy.
