I'm actually in the opposite situation. Love the telly but the carves and the feel on the strat is quite magical. It inspires different things I guess.
Some teles have that belly cut on the back like a strat, but not a lot have the arm contour on the top which is huge for comfort! A couple of times I’ve had my wrist come out of the other side of a long gig all red from hitting the hard edge on my Tele. But, it’s a small price to pay for the twang 😎
Couldn't agree with you more, my collection of Road Worns is awesome! My go-to lately is the Brad Paisley silver sparkle but the purple and the yellow one come up in the rotation every week! Great components, broken-in, good to go🤘🏼
Spot on RE: the Tex-Mex pickups. Great for old skool TWANG, but they’re also really hot, too; hot enough for a solid overdrive tone to play convincing late ‘60s/early ‘70s blues-based rock. I use this with a Roland JC120 and don’t bother w/any external effects.
@@SGBassplayer very nice! I used this guitar as my main in a Texas Country group and also with my alternative/Brit-rock band, which speaks to the versatility of the Tex-Mex!
I just impulse bought one of these a couple days ago. Had been shopping for a new Vintera 2 in blonde that I ended up getting. And then this popped up into my Reverb feed the next day. Had never seen a purple Tele before (especially with nitro finish). I learned how rare it was being a special run and exclusive color. Had to buy it.

Very nice! The purple looks great under stage lights too, I bet the silver sparkle does as well!
