After LP what's next Strat or Tele

Lol-x · 10-24-2008, 09:17 PM

O.K. so I have been playing my LP CS for a while and it is an awesome guitar.

However, as a second guitar and to add the most versatility to compliment my LP what should I get:

1. Fender Telecaster; or
2. Fender Stratocaster?

TheWellGoodShow · 10-24-2008, 09:21 PM

a tele of coures

JACKSON DINKY!!!!!!

or ESP........

drewk86 · 10-24-2008, 09:38 PM

I have always wanted and Yngwie Strat so thats what I would go after!

djwilbanks · 10-25-2008, 01:45 AM

I voted tele for versatility, but secretly, I say STRAT STRAT STRAT!

diceman · 10-25-2008, 01:55 AM

Be different - get a Jazzmaster or Jaguar! Even Vintage pieces can be had for PEANUTS!

djwilbanks · 10-25-2008, 01:57 AM

+1 on the Jazzmaster!

JasonC · 10-25-2008, 02:02 AM

Um... wtf man? What about an SG, a DC, or an LP Jr? Not to mention an MM or ES...

Winterheim · 10-25-2008, 02:02 AM

Try SG. Or maybe a strat.

Harpozep · 10-25-2008, 02:46 AM

Strat! You need to experience three pickups and the cool "In between positions" afforded by a five way toggle. A Tele is cool, but only offers two pickups. The Tele is the essential fourth guitar, not the second.

What's the third ? An ES 335 of course! Gotta have a hollow body.
But that's beyond the scope of our poll.....

SFK · 10-25-2008, 04:13 AM

Les Paul Jr

basschick22 · 10-25-2008, 05:08 AM

I have my LP, I have my Strat, now I want a Tele.

...so Strat's my answer as a 2nd guitar

TantalumKristel · 10-25-2008, 07:49 AM

Strat! My friend has one with the frets shaved down and it's sick to play!

madams17 · 10-25-2008, 12:12 PM

Tele! But see if you can find a nice Nashville Tele with 3 pickups to get the best of both worlds.

I played one of those yngwie strats, those are quite nice. But not sure if I can get use to the scalloping.

pawpek · 10-25-2008, 04:13 PM

Thank you, that is something I had not considered, and it looks like there is a new candy apple red colour.

Also I see on the Fender web-site that the Nashville Tele got Guitar Player Pick Award "Editors Choice".

Also thank you to everyone for all their awesome replies.

Do not buy a nice Strat because you may end up playing it more than your Les Paul. I know I do lately.

specter1001 · 10-26-2008, 08:10 AM

STRAT!!!! you wont regret it

mr_dreadlocks · 10-26-2008, 08:17 AM

I go Telecaster.

ssofsuperior · 10-26-2008, 08:57 AM

strat
or sg

Wuchak · 10-26-2008, 09:48 AM

Strat or SG. Get a double cutaway so you have easy access all the way up the neck.

Don't waste your time with a Fender. Go with a G&L. Far superior guitars and the last ones that Leo put his name on. The USA made G&L's are nothing short of astounding. If you have never tried a Pleck'd fretboard you'll be surprised at the difference. The import G&L's are every bit as good as any production Fender made anywhere and are a phenomenal value.
