Hi Scott!

I've been playing a strat copy and now I'm looking to get a nice new guitar. I don't really use the whammy much. I'm looking for a versatile guitar with a big sound.

I've been recommended to get a tele. DO you agree with this? Will a tele sound big and be versatile enough to cover a lot of ground?

Thanks.

The Tele is a great guitar and it's bigger sounding than a strat. It's not as versatile simply because it has three positions instead of five, but the positions are very different sounding from each other and I'm pretty sure you'd be happy with it. I love my Tele and should play it more often.

It's important to know that if you get a Tele with traditional ash wood, it's a bright guitar, though Ted Greene played one and turned down the tone to make it more mellow, and it sounded great for jazz. My Tele is made of alder, because I didn't want it to be brighter than my other guitars.
