I went out last night expecting to buy a tele. I played 6 different models with different necks, pups, colors. I also played a few Les Pauls. I thought that the finishing of the neck on the Les Pauls were pretty lacking overall really. They were really heavy too. After about an hour I pulled a black American series with maple neck down from the wall. I hadn't even asked my guy any questions about strats. After l sat down and played for all of about 2 minutes I stood up and said.... I'll take it. The feel of the body and neck were the best. No competition in my mind. It was a no brainer for neck size, neck feel, body contour and the sound was so sweet. Maybe I'll do a little pup changing down the road... but I could not be happier with my purchase. I went home... plugged it in and just smiled. Sweet instument. Nothing better in my mind. I want to thank those of you that answered my simplistic questions on both the teles and strats. Because of you I was able to make an intelligent decision based on the info that was given to me. I appreciate that a lot. It really helped a lot.
