So there is a '60s reissue Strat at my local store that I may have fallen in love with. It's daphne blue with a mint pickguard, and has a really dark rosewood fretboard, which I vastly prefer over maple which my Tele has. I was wondering if you guys think I should trade my antigua Tele, and an old 120 watt Crate amp for it, or keep the Tele and forget about it?

It's just like this, but way more attractive. The blue is way lighter in person, and it has to be daphne, not sonic.

AGH! Don't make me choose between the best guitar in the worst colour ever and a damn strat in one of the best colours!

Oooh, ok... strat it is. I could never love an antigua guitar, even a Tele.

Gay thread.

Neither.

strat. no contest. even though i loves me my teles, a daphne blue strat is miles better than an antigua tele.

go for a better colored tele.

FENDER STRATOCASTER

Born in the fifties, lookin' so bald, Fender Stratocaster / Everything your parents hated about rock and roll, Fender Fender Fender / Twanging that twang and sounding so tough, Fender Stratocaster / And the kids in my corner they can't get enough, Fender Fender Fender / Like the wind in your hair when the top is down, Like taillights headin' for another town, Fender Stratocaster, / Well there's something about that sound - Like gasoline in the sand, Fender Stratocaster / Like a motorcycle at a hotdog stand, Fender Fender Fender / Like a Dunkin Donuts in Mattapan, Fender Stratocaster / Like a Thrifty Drugs in Santa An, Fender Fender Fender / Oh the sound is thin and the sound is cheap, / Like a tin can falling on a dead-end street, Fender Stratocaster, / Well there's something about that sound [first musical interlude] Well how can it sound so tough, Fender Stratocaster / And it's made to be treated rough / Fender Fender Fender / It's got the ancient Egyptian script, Fender Stratocaster / It's got the wang box from the crypt, Fender Fender Fender / Oh you shoulda known it right off the bat / One look and you know it would sound like that, Fender Stratocaster / Like gasoline in the sand, Fender Stratocaster / Like a motorcycle at a hotdog stand, Fender Fender Fender / Like a Dunkin Donuts in Mattapan, Fender Stratocaster / Like a Thrifty Drugs in Santa An, Fender Fender Fender / Oh the sound so thin that it's barely there, Like a bitchy girl who just don't care, Fender Stratocaster / Like WooWoo Ginsberg at the jukebox joint, You hear the sound and you get the point Fender Stratocaster, / Well there's something about that sound, Oh all right, Oh I said oh my God, one more time, oh.

Dude...Eric Clapton plays a strat, John Mayer Plays a Strat, not cool.

Strat, no contest.

Daphne blue tele.

Well oddly enough we're planning a hagstrom III-only gig. Stacey has used my blue HIII for the last two shows, and I've got my favourite sunburst HIII languishing at my mums.

Stacey has a microphone for a face, you look like you're turning all incredible hulk on your librarian ex-colleagues, and your drummer looks fucked up.

How is that a bad pic?

A broken telecaster with a curse on it is better than a goddamn strat.

Kill yourself, quickly.

Oh, I can't wait until we do battle. I will kick through your neck and spit in your gaping throat hole.

why does everyone care about color so much. if you prefer the strat, get it. the crate 120 is silly anyway.

go for the strat...
