Oh man, people in the 50s and 60s were doing it so, so wrong.

There is a reason they shut down, y'know. Sure, if you wanna play twangy 50s / 60s style stuff, then by all means get one - but they're not versatile.

Seriously, they're versatile, not as obnoxious/overplayed as Strats, and pretty cheap for a Mexican-made.
I guess i haven't really played a real Fender Strat, but everything I've tried which is close to it is Squier and is hellish to play, while Teles have continually surprised me pleasantly.
A Wet Helmet:
I have a tele.
For some things it's my absolute favorite guitar. Hands down. I really love it. It is so much fun to play.
I'm not sure I'd want it as my only guitar though. I'm not sure how much sense that makes, but that's how it is. "If you were stranded on a desert island with only one guitar, which one would it be?" I'm just not sure that I'd pick my telecaster. At least, not how mine is configured. Heavy as hell with two single coils. Maybe one of the thinlines that's been rodded up a little would be a little more well rounded, but I haven't played one, so I don't know.
Beastmouth:
Ignore whoever said you can get a Mexican tele for ~$400 on eBay. You can get one for that on Musician's Friend!
Also, yes they are nice, and I always recommend a fixed bridge instrument for beginners
feh:
I'm sure you're right. That was just a guess off the top of my head. I don't price guitars very often. I know what I see Mexican Fender basses go for these days.
