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

Rumor has it that Jimmy Page used one of the original Dan Electros for the solo in Stairway to Heaven. They are "different" sounding due to the lipstick pickups. I think a little warmer and spankier than the Fender. It used to be that each Dan Electro had it's own unique sound, since the pickups were originally hand wound. Now the new ones are more uniform in tone being mass produced. You might find one in a local music shop and give it an AB comparison with the Fenders. It's a very different beast. I like them, but I have odd desires.
