I do really prefer a Telecaster, I am in love with that guitar. Also, I prefer Epiphone, if you have any second thoughts.

I just got a fender and i like it. if youu don't know how to play guitar go with a fender starter but if you do know how to play still get a fender the only thing you really need is an amp that makes the guitar sound like your fav music

telecaster.... it's the best thing.. trust me..

Whoa! Between the tele and jaguar, i will choose the latter because it is less prone to interference than the telecaster. Tele is more popular choice though.

i always thought Zappa sounded the best when he played through a Gibson SG. unless your are after the specific tele or jaguar sound go with a strat. you seem to play a lot of different styles and genres and the strat will definately be the most versitile

Zappa played a Hagstrom Viking a lot. R.E.M.s Peter Buck plays Rickenbackers. Bob Dylan I think played a Gibson ES as well as acoustics. Each has a different sound. Don't try to find a single instrument that perfectly replicates what all those people (or even one of them) can do. Find a number of instruments that just sound and feel good to you and develop your own style (which may be inspired by others of course). Why do you prefer Fender? And why are you looking only solidbody electrics? If you were to buy a single guitar only, I'd probably choose a Hagstrom Viking of HJ600, maybe an Ibanez AF custom. But I have 3 instruments (though no solidbody electrics, and I don't miss them), each with its own personality and sound. And I don't think that's all I'll have a year from now...
