This is a really interesting thread. I've always favored the strat mainly due to weight/feel against the body and the feel and playability of the neck. I've briefly tried tele's from time to time and always found them to be heavier, more clunky in general, bigger neck/flatter fingerboard, and generally less comfortable than the strat. Recently I tried out a tele while at the local evil empire (GC) and had a change of heart. Happened to be one of those 50's Road Worn tele's and it felt and played great. So I picked up a MIM tele on ebay last week and the other posters are correct - each instrument has its own feel and I think I will have to adjust my mindset when playing each one. I'm liking the tele in the bridge position with some light distortion. But nothing beats the bluesy sound of the strat in the neck position.
