For myself only...I hate Strats and love Tele's. Always been that way....and I've been playing for 40+ years.
Teles or Strats

I've always had a Strat. 30 years ago I tried some Teles but just could not get them going for me. Then about 10 years ago I got it and got one again. Now actually my go to gigging guitar. Agree on the simplicity and how it cuts through the mix in a good way. Not a fan of it overly distorted though.... Then again I think that's what a humbucker guitar is for...

I grew up in Nashville thinking that Teles were for the "uncool" country set. Strats to me were the icon. Hated the Tele headstock.
Wised up once I started seeing guitarists from all genres playing them. I finally got a Tele in the 90s, and I've loved them ever since.
But I love Strats as much as Teles. My Tele does get more use than the Strats.

Had a long session with the Tele not too long ago and my back still feels it. Seems that my strap threshold is a little over 8lbs. I'm going to have to get a lighter Tele.
Hmm... I've always liked 60's era Tele Customs.
