Why not try them both out and see if u like the sounds? Let ur ears be the judge.

 

[ryancrl]

What music do you play? That'll help quite a bit.

 

[HunG]

i actually play metal,punk rock,pop rock sometimes clean and a little funk

 

[HunG]

Oh how about Strats? like Fender American deluxe Hss one, can it play the genre that i play?

 

[j_m_s]

Anything can play any genre.

Check your PM.

my approach was a little different; i humbuckered the Tele I really like. the guitar has to conform to my needs, not the other way round:

my American Std Telecaster with Duncan Hotrails in the bridge position...

There is a new John5 squier model...maybe u will like it.

Get a Kotzen! A Kotzen Tele! Yummy! If got moola lah....

I guess metal and punk and all that get a Jim Root or John 5 would be cool. Or follow the above advice and get a humbuckers to drop into your tele.

 

[subversion]

there's no definite tele for a specific music genre, it's what works for you.

 

[teleplayer]

the jim root telecaster got a mahogany body... while the '72 got an alder... if you are looking for the tele twang, then get the one with alder...

 

[subversion]

twang factor is also pickup dependent, mine hardly twangs any more, i have another tele for that purpose...

Try the Fender Thinline model...

or

the Squier Telecaster Custom

If you can afford it, try the Fender Telecaster Deluxe? Looks exactly like the Squier Telecaster Custom above but with two humbuckers (in the Tele deluxe above, the pickups are humbucker-sized singlecoils). In my opinion, any guitar can play metal as long as it has humbucking pickups. Singlecoils can do it too but you get more power and less feedback with humbckers.

Alternatively, you could get a standard Tele and replace the bridge singlecoil with a singlecoil-sized humbucker, like the Seymour Duncan Hotrails in Subversion's Tele's bridge position.

hmm after reading is the fender 72 deluxe or the 72 thinline better? or no diff?

Yeah, the Squire tele deluxe comes in two models, actually. One with P90s (pictured) and one with humbuckers. From what I've heard, build quality, sound and playability are superb for the price.

Take note that there will be a tonal difference to a certain extent between the deluxe and the thinline. Being a semi-hollow body, the thinline will have a more hollow, twangier sound than the deluxe.

Hmm how about the aerodyne telecaster? Looks cool to me
