Okay, the last three replies are entirely subjective and should be disregarded, because this is about what you want, not what they think you should get.
Fact is, Teles are undisputably one of the greatest guitars ever made, they've been around for what, fifty years? Ditto to Strats.
I gig with a Squier Tele on a weekly basis and have done for two years. I can wholeheartedly recommend you buy one, especially at that price.
