Highway 1 strat v.s. Highway 1 tele any opinions?

I think the answer will be obvious around these parts.

Is this a trick question?

Either would be great. I played a sunburst Highway 1 Tele recently that was hard to put down!

well i play mostly classic/hard rock and blues,but that start sounded great its hard to decide, i have a tele replica im thinking of moding so im leaning toward the strat but i woudl love to have my first real tele to. ughhhhh!

Get the Strat if you already have a Tele-type guitar. Just my view.

My opinion is that you should play both and get the one you like most. You should also play multiple copies of each if you can.

FWIW: I have both Strat and Tele, and my time seems evenly split between dreadnought and Tele. Playing several instruments made my purchase much easier because it was clear when I found a winner.

Good luck.

duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh........

tele.

sloprock_12 · April 29th, 2007, 12:52 AM

is both of them a decent guitar to have for your first real fender? any other recomedations?

from what i see, fender puts more of an opaque shade on the teles than the strats.. which sucks. my freinds crimson blue strat is beautiful, the grain pops out at your eye, as opposed to my blonde highway which has the slightest signs of transparency.

also think about what you need- a tremolo... neck shapes.. headstock mass.. etc..

i already have the tele so for me it would be the strat.

I have one of each. My suggestion... do likewise!!!

Good luck!

it seems to be the general opinion that they are both fantastic, and i totally i agree. my HW1 strat is probably the best sounding guitar i have played (w/ CS 69 pups mind you).

so, basically, if you want a strat, get the strat. if you want the tele.......

they are perfect workhorse examples of both guitars. all you get f0r paying above these models is either a crappier guitar (am. standard...), or more weight consistency/bragging rights (CS).

just get a couple of each and be done with it.....
