The classic tele( with original single coils) offers two very different pickups. The Strat has three same pickups. If you add a bigsby to a tele, the tremolo advantage of the Strat is neutralized. I never thought I would love the tele, but it’s a great guitar
Strat is def more comfy and has more tone options but I much prefer a hardtail so tele for me. Ultra tele solves a lot of the things to not like about a tele. It would have been nice if you explained positions 2 and 4 for those unfamiliar but otherwise good vid!
Love Strat...but Tele with great pups have a fuller sound and the bridge is truly useful. I have both guitars with Fralins....MIA Strat....Squier CV50 Tele.....much prefer the sound of my budget Tele.
I play both .... each cover something you can't get out of the other - I very seldom play the bridge pickup on the strat... Often the in-between - bridge and middle pickup - sometimes the middle pickup ... but most the neck pickup - and always neck-pickup for lead and soloing - both on Strat and mostly Tele .. Have wired the tone knob so it covers the bridge on my 3 Strats too - I dislike the way too brittle sound very much .... The bridge pickup on Tele's are different - I use that sound with the tone knob a third to halfway down - seldom the in-between setting ... Well just some thoughts
For me - I think the tele has more variety alone in the neck pickup - than the Strats - they are both different beasts .... So I would not compare ....
@@1000foxtrot that's nonsense, a pickup position is one tone that you can tweak and equalize with the knobs. And again, the strat has 2 adjustment knobs, giving more variety. The Tele is just a much more simplistic version of the strat.

I play the strat, mainly blues, and I only ever use the neck pickup. ❤️🎸.I think both guitars are beautiful.
The best guitar is (always) the one in your hands.
A tele with a humbucker in the bridge isnt a tele.

The main difference is that I have a Strat and I want a Tele.

I thought it is both signature guitar of Haruna and Mami of Scandal Band in Japan
that is not a traditional tele. I think when people talks about a Tele is the 2 single coiled one with the ashtray bridge.
For me, tele all day

IMHO, Stratocaster number one. Telecaster number two. I happen to own both and enjoy them.
I'm a strat man , but love both.
I love many Stratocasters, but I love only one Telecaster.
It is dependent on your intended usage.
Strato is more useful, but Tele is way cooler
The strat is objectively better because it has more features and a much wider variety of tones.
having more features doesn’t make it objectively better. you can prefer the simplicity of a telecaster

@@ScorpionDailey it can be used in a lot more scenarios and is more versatile.
Its like blondes vs brunettes, the answer is both, as long you dont have to hear them
Why is it the English pronounce Rs where there isn't one and then they don't where there is? 😂
just buy both

Hellooo
Strat is more versatile with 3 pickups and a tremolo. but the Telecaster is more stable/reliable of a workhorse
Played Strats for 30 years .... and I love them ... But today I use Teles most ...
