Ok, the Blacktop discussion going on aside, I just wanted to get some input on general opinions around whole the Tele/Strat thing. I have a Highway One Strat, which I enjoy. I originally bought it because I went looking for an amp, and it just happened to be the guitar I was trying the amp out with. Schoolboy error, but there you go.
I have an HH guitar in my PRS, and I have a nice fat single coil sound (which I can tailor as I need) in my Goldtop. So, I'm thinking, maybe a better option than the Strat is to round out the options with the dinkum twang of a Tele. I've seen some Tokai Teles at Andy's, and they really look the part, so I think I'm going to start looking around and playing - I'm not worried about the name on the headstock, I only care about how the thing plays and what comes outta the cabinet.
But before I do go adventuring, I thought I'd get some input as to whether I should even bother, or just stick with the mix as it is. I have three (electric) guitars I enjoy playing, I'm hoping to get into a bit of a thing with some mates soon, and who knows, we might just end up playing some braais in a few years. So no grand ambitions. If and when I record, it's generally with the PRS or the acoustic. Worth it/Not worth it - thoughts.
Because the other option is to offload the Strat and ship in some new gear - pedals and other fun GAS-related gadgets.
Thanks
