    It's probably neither. I like the Tele bridge sound and the middle sound, which are hard to reproduce on a Strat without some surgery. I don't mind the body look in general. My Charvel Model 7 (Tele-style) had a tummy cut which was very nice. When I play a Fender Tele I feel like I'm playing a big ol' plank o' wood.

    that was another one of my initial turn offs about the Tele. It needs to incorporated some of the Strat cuts, however I've grown use to the slab and I guess that's part of its character.
