Strat vs. Tele

I've thought about buying a G&L ASAT Classic Alnico S:

Tele with forearm cut!

 

Yes, i can make a tele sound like bagpipes! You want to hear that?

 

When the forum is down for a couple of days and you come back to this...

...you just understand how much you missed it...

Thanks for making my day brighter

 

Does it involve blowing up the jack socket!?

 

I haven't met one yet. I'll go to the Fender website. Thanks.

 

The Richie Kotzen tele comes with both forearm cut and belly cut.

 

G.A.S. I feel it coming on. Not again...

 

...with a matching headstock

 

I seem to recall, maybe a couple or three years ago, there was a complete range of Teles with contour bodies. Divided opinion, like these things do. Did I imagine it?

My Elite Tele has a pretty significant tummy cut.

 

My MIM pair, in black.

 

I found some. I like this one...

 

This is so subtle it's barely visible but makes all the difference.
