Like them both, Stu but if I were to choose one it would be the Tele - as a recent convert, I now love their simplicity and versatility 👍

Hi Derek - I agree... simple yet versatile - not a lot you can add to that. If I only had the 52 Tele I would possibly put the 'Twisted Tele' pick-up at the neck, I really like the combination of that with the Blackguard 51/52 at the bridge. I only re-discovered the Telecaster because of my recording journey despite that guitar type being the first electric guitar I owned back in the early 70s. Regards: Stu

Interesting, the 50s strat has an eleven-screw guard instead of 8 which would be period correct. Was that stock? *edit: Shouldn't have paused it to type this comment LOL Not ten seconds later you described just that LOL

Hi Craig - well spotted... ;-) For anyone interested in what Craig mentioned, that's not familiar with this Custom Shop model. The early 1950s Strat's (8 hole) & Tele's (5 hole) had fewer pickguard screws than the later models. Due to the material of those early guards they found that they would often buckle and also shrink causing cracking in the guard. The CS Fender 50s Strat reviewed here is a kind of collection of the best 1950s parts with the addition of the 5 blade selector (original is 3) and 11 screws on the guard. For those interested in more detail I have done a couple of videos on various Stats. Regards: Stu
