ok guitarfags listen up
I have a blonde hot rod tele that I love so much but I am thinking about selling it and buying a used american standard strat
convince me to get a strat or to keep my tele googogogog
just posting another pic
Sell it and get a les paul......
Keep the tele because strats fucking suck
Don't
I'm probably not gonna sell it, it has a lot of character and balls to it, idk

>24.75" scale
>kys faggot
keep the tele, OP. And for sure don't sell it for a les paul or strat.
>>689827012
Tele all the way. I sold a les paul for two mexis and I'm never looking back.
you're just getting some GAS, that Tele is immaculate. If you need a strat experience, get a cheap MiM and change the pickups :)
Sell it and buy a chapman
>>689827012
Sell that piece of shit, why the fuck would you get a tele and have a humbucker in the neck?
>>689827012
I'd honestly keep a tele.
Telecaster master race

darker, beefier sound
Keep it and buy the start you want. Why is this even uo for discussion?
>>689827012
Jesus dude. Keep your ax. Never betray your ax. Your ax serves you faithfully every day of its life. Never betray it.

you can get that out of something like a jazzmaster, teles are meant for that clean twang

>>689832239
Well fuck. Good on you m8.
Op here
I have decided to keep it
woo
>>689827644

>>689833512
Nah sell it and get a Tele without the humbucker
>>689833512

>>689833715
seconded.

butterscotch blonde hot rod telecaster '50s vintage
Keep that tele, keep that humbucker, and rock the fuck out, man.
>>689834552
op here
I did do some price checking to see what used ones go for, but unfortunately I can't find any! I found new ones on ebay and reverb going for around $2000.
>>689834793
really? I thought tanks were like $5M or something
Do the Brent Mason mod, you're nearly there. Drop a Strat pup in the middle; you've got the humbuggy neck and tele bridge pups. I've done this to my Teles. Now I have Strat, Tele and Les Paul tones in one guitar.

dat thunderbird... ive wanted one for a while
>>689827012
why would you sell a guitar you really love? the money you'd get for it could be gotten just as easy by just saving up for a couple more months. You won't regret the saving. You WILL regret selling this one though.
>>689828985
they took off the tuneomatic kys
>>689827012
Strats have a lot thinner tone than a tele so personally I like a tele a lot more compared to a strat because of that but it basically comes down to what style of music you mainly play
keep it unless you really wanna sound like every other motherfucker with a strat.
>>689835857
This nigger gets it! I own the Brent Mason Custom Pro. The best instrument I own, and I own 9 guitars. That pickup combination covers much tonal ground. Especially in a live setting, yet excels in the studio as well.
>>689827012
i want a tele...keep the tele
okay thanks everyone!
all depends what you want for tone, but I'll say that a tele is the more versatile guitar.
>keep tele
>save money for used US strat
>realize tele is more useful
>sell strat
>buy 2nd tele
>buy different sounding pups than current tele and have 2 fun, different sounding great guitars
>???
>Profit
>>689831198
which you only get with the bridge anyways
kys
I'd trade you my strat for your tele, but then I'd probably immediately regret it.
Just go buy another guitar faggot.
tele >>> strat
>>689839093
tele > strat > les paul ;)
>>689839702
D:
les pauls with p90s sound great
>>689840487
op here, just to make all the tele-humbucker haters mad
should I replace the wide range pup with a gibson paf loooool
>>689827012
I have both Tele and Strat and I can safely say I would never trade my tele for a strat. Teles have so much character and a much better feel.

I recommend keeping your tele and buying another tel with a different set of pickups even a cheap Mexican tele can sound like hot tits after some new electronics and wiring job. Also learning how to wire pickups can give you endless amounts of tone options.

>fender custom shop/cleans as fuck
>??? Anything under the sun

OP here
That's actually kind of a good idea! I play a lot of songs in open g so I could just keep the other one tuned in open g live
