I’m a Tele man. I don’t know why I never liked the feel of Strats. Weird, because most people love the contoured body. I like the square body of a Tele. I do like the 3 pickup, 5 position configuration of Strats. Both my Teles have that setup. One has a Bigsby. Rosewood fretboad. The other is a hard tail with a maple neck. Love em.
Johnny Winter once said he just couldn't play a strat. Loved the sound, but the pickups always interfered with his hand. It is an issue.
Anyway, every true Tele man knows about this site.

The best Teles, tone wise seem to be heavy as hell. Weight makes sense for sustain.
A couple of questions:
1. I never liked maple necks. They seem sticky. Mahogany just feels better. What do you think.
2. Some say the Strat whammy bar & floating bridge robs string resonance and sustain, similar to the Floyd Rose.
The Bigsby seems pretty massive.
3. Weight: have you ever found a light weight guitar that works well? ( Soid body, I mean.) Related: makers are introducing lighter weight hardware—using aluminum and titanium and carbon fiber. What’s your take.
It’s great not to think about politics today.
