Ok, looking at two guitars here. An American Vintage ‘62 Telecaster® Custom or an American Vintage ‘62 Stratocaster®. I've heard the sound files for both of them on Fender's website, Tele seems awesome for rythm with awesome bass and lower mids. Strat seems the opposite, better sounding for...

Ok, I have a bit of a problem here. I really like the heavy palm muting and power chords (so basically rhythm) of heavier strings, but when it comes time for a solo they bug me. Lead work isn't more difficult, just doesn't physically feel like it flows, for lack of a better word. I have 52...
