The Fender Stratocaster or Strat has a three single coil pick-up and a three or five way pick-up selector which enables a wide range of tones and sounds.

With twin cutaway horns it makes easy pickings to reach the high frets not to mention the contoured body which makes playing a breeze.

The Fender Stratocaster produces a massive colorfully bright ringing quality.

If you think of Jimi Hendrix and the raft of amazing sounds he created with his left handed Stratocaster.

Then there is Eric Clapton with a crisp sweet sound, or you might prefer Ritchie Blackmore from Deep Purple.

Don't forget about Dire Straights and Mark Knopfler who led them either because they all had one thing in common.......they all had fun playing their Fender Stratocasters and they sure did love the Fender Stratocasters they owned (but we knew that any way).

The Telecaster or should I say the Fender Telecaster is like a Chunky work horse. The workmanlike Fender Telecaster is well known for massive chords and percussive playing.

The Fender Telecaster has a punchy sound due to its relatively short sustain. Now sustain is very simply the length of time a note continues to ring after it is played.

Have you ever listened to Pink Floyd?......no I mean really listened to Pink Floyd?

Well if you ever have listened to Pink Floyd you will know why Dave Gilmoure likes the Telecaster. The sound Dave Gilmoure can produce is truly inspiring.

Bruce Springsteen and Keith Richards are another couple of guitar play Telecaster fans. They (Bruce Springsteen and Keith Richards) have also made their marks so to speak and indeed continue to make their marks as I am sure they will continue to do for a long time yet.

There are so many different styles of Guitar Play or ways to play your guitar and you will either produce or adopt a style that will be your own.

Who knows YOU might even make history one day!

But until that day arrives enjoy your choice and pick of guitar, remember there are so many different types and makes available on the market so choose one that suits you, the one that is best for you.

Until next time enjoy your guitar and playing your guitar.

Kind Regards, Carl
