*joins thread to sing praises of fender guitars*
I've got an American Standard Strat, with a humbucker in the bridge position. It's both beautiful and awesome.

It's also gold with a black scratchplate and white pickups and knobs, which looks the business.

Admittedly it was horribly expensive, but I think it was worth it.

I've not been a fan of teles until recently when my spare guitar at gigs has been an American deluxe and it is a great guitar. not as nice as a strat though!

My drummer and I recently surprised our singer/other guitarist by buying him a Telecoustic, which is a thin, hollow-body, tele-shaped acoustic with the neck off a tele, and the neck pickup, and a piezo pickup and pre-amp.

Amazingly good guitar for the price!
