28th November, 2005: Strat or Tele...

Standard Strat Satin Black Metallic

Satin Amber Trans Strat

I'm tangled up. Don't know which to choose from. I found that within the price range. I would be able to get a strat with better pickups. Seriously, I'm not sure how do they sound. It would be great if I can test it out one by one and gotta see all the colors. But that's not the case. I thought i've made up my mind to get a tele with maple neck. I've read that the standard strat is a cheap axe. Knobs don't work a whole lot plus pickups aren't that good. The Trans Strat has better customer feedback. I love the Satin Amber color combination. But I'm not sure about other color combinations. Probably I'll be stuck with this or the Butterscotch tele. Choice 1 or 2....
