A Nice Pair - NGDs (or NGsD, or something like that)

Oh man, the neck on the Tele is sweet. I put some time on it today. Awesomely smooth satin, rolled edges, perfect fretwork, it feels and plays great.

Can you please tell me if you had to choose between the strat and tele, which would you go for and why? I'm basically between these 2 models.

I have a LP and J.Custom with fishmans, looking to get a great single coiler as the last guitar

I’m Strat all day, so you can’t take my opinion with out a grain of salt. I’d take a Strat as my main guitar all the time. The HSS is super versatile, big rock tones in the bridge and more traditional single coils in the neck and middle. If you went with the SSS you’d have a straight up traditional Strat. The Noiseless Tele pickups are pretty good, the bridge is more muscular than a Strat bridge but not as big as the HSS Humbucker. There are a lot more tones available in the Strat because of 3 pickups and S-1 switches, but the Tele tone is a different thing. If you can, you’ve got to try them both out.

I’m not sure if that helps at all, feel free to ask follow up questions. One interesting thing, I usually prefer Rosewood fingerboards, but on these necks the Maple just feels great.

Thank you. I had a feeling you'd pick the strat. I too like strats and logically I think as the last guitar in my 3-guitar unit it's probably the best choice. But the elite cherry burst tele is so sexy and that bridge tone is to die for. I was able to play the satin pearl one in a shop but there wasn't an elite strat. I'm going to Tokyo next month (I live in Japan) so I think I'll go to a big shop and A/B them - but I bet I'll end up with the strat. Probably SSS as I have the 2 HH guitars

Oh man, the Mod Shop has Autumn Blaze Metallic on the Jazzmaster!

I've never owned a Jazzmaster (I'm not even sure why), but I really like them. Love the tones and the feel of the offset. Man, that color makes it very hard to resist!

The Johnny Marr KO Orange Jaguar looks cool too.
