Should i buy a SG, lp or a strat/tele

Re: Should i buy a SG, lp or a strat/tele

I have a LP, SG, 335, 2 Strats, a Tele and some other guitars. My advice is - go with the Tele. You can get almost all of the sounds of the other guitars with the tele except the 335.

Save your money and buy a decent amp.

Like the others have said, skip the 310. They're right, its a big step backwards. Use the money you'd save on either the fender MIM strat or a new amp.

Normally, I would recommend the Epi LP first, but before you do that, you're gonna want a better amp... Epi LP's are great guitars, but thru a cheap amp, it would just sound like a cheap guitar.

I did. I missed the Line 6 sentence. Is that a good amp? Have you played through one?

I played quite a few Teles before I settled on the Am Deluxe Tele. The MIM Teles are nices also. I have not made any mod on my Tele yet. Mine is the one with the SCN pickups and the S1 switch. I played lots of guitars side by side and I found this one to be the best. What amazed me is that the wide range of sounds the Tele can get. Not just the one I bought but most of the Teles with half way decent pickups can do that. This one happened to be of good quality and playability with very nice tones and so I bought it. And yes, I even played it against some Gibby LPs and it just blew them away.

You can't get a telecaster to sound like an SG or LP.:| An epiphone isn't a real SG or LP anyway, but a telecaster is a breed of its own. Bright and twangy.

except in the mid position with the tone knob rolled back

then it does a pretty good job of being in sg/lp territory, depending on pickups & fretboard material

I'm gonna go along with the Tele suggestion, for all of the same reasons some of my other sage brothers here have.

You can get a fuller sound that way, but it isn't the same.
