Hi all,


I know this question has been asked ad nauseam so thanks in advance for any helpful thoughts/advice.


I've been learning on an acoustic (Fender Dreadnaught) and would like to continue learning on an electric. I listen to every genre of music but would love to learn the sound of 60s and 70s rock. I know I'll want to explore some other sounds like The Black Keys, My Morning Jacket, and a ton of other music that is way beyond my skill level (for now!). I say all of this because, from my extremely over-researched internet reading, the sound you want to mimic seems to determine the guitar.


I think I've narrowed it down to a Telecaster or a Stratocaster but again, I'd love to hear what ya'll think.


thanks for helping out a newbie who has seriously caught the guitar bug!
