JPF Home Page Forums Musician Gear and Techniques Guitars and Guitarist Forum What is the difference between a Standard Strat and a Standard Telecaster?

Thanks Dak, I already have the standard Strat. I just wondered what the difference was .

Hiya Joe!
Say thanks for that link. Really neat. I'm OK, trying to stay on top of things, but not quite making it, LOL. I got a standard strat with midi a while back, but I keep running back to the old familiar. I need to take my Taylor in to get the top 3 frets replaced so I need to get busy with the Fender and be able to play it while the Taylor is in the shop. Thanks again.

Hi, Rob! Yes, that answers the questions. So now on to more:
The switches.

What does out of phase mean?

Does chorus mean it sounds like more than one guitar is playing.

When should I use the different switch positions.

And when you say bend, do you mean bending the string with my fingers? And why can't I do that with the strat? Am I supposed to use the tremelo to bend them instead?

Thanks!
