technically it is... although the Highway 1 is a fender. The 1954 is the original and the first. The highway 1 is a copy of the original design and are not even made in the same factory as these were in the 50's
then give it to me!! i want another strat coz its so so good. the best guitar ever. might buy a tele. but i guess im happy with strats coz its got more tones
Non-sense. "Strats have more tones". Tone is not just in the GUitar your playing but rather the technique in your hands. Someone like GE Smith gets more tones out of a Telecaster than Eric Clapton with a Stratocaster.
i totally understand what your saying. not the first time i heard it. first heard it from les paul
but the pickup configurations are really useful for changing sounds. im not so much a fan of the middle pickup by itself. but when it is used along with the other pickups, then you can get lots of different stuff.
i havnt played so many teles so i cant really say much about them. however for the kind of work that GE smith does, u kinda need to be able to do that. teles are just his thing. i mean i bet he cud do it with a strat too.
to me the main difference between the two was the comfort issue. the strat is sooo much more comfortable to me...coz it was designed to do so. where the tele was built by an engineer, the strat had input from other musicians...hence the curves and cutaways etc
The Stratocaster was just designed after ideas, not a specific plan. So still props to Leo Fender for being creative. I just love the way the Telecaster feels. Much more than a Stratocaster... All personal preference though.
would a regular, mexican made fender strat be good for surf, alternative, grunge, and everything that goes into that. playing stuff like the melvins, mudhoney, nirvana. ?
Strats are pretty much good for anything, but if you're playing melvins you should probably get a guitar with humbuckers or get a strat with a humbucker to get that low grinding sound that buzz is famous for.
Thanks for the review Mike dirnt :)

its not really after ideas. there was a team that suggested new ideas and improvements.
theres a bbc documentary on youtube called 'story of the guitar'. check it out! talks all about gibson and fender =]. really interesting

actually in the vid they missed out on the curves and cutaways. in my opinion that is just as important as the pickups
