He played a Strat mainly only on "Over My Head" during those first couple of years in the band.

So I've NOT been smoking too much crack!

Tele's suck! I have 3 Tele's, and 4 Strats, and I honestly HATE playing Tele's. A Strat is just so much fuller sounding.

But, that said, for recording, I love Tele's for country SOLO'S. They cut perfectly for that. But live, with a 3 piece....just too thin...

But live, my main country guitar is now a cheap Gretsch. But for rock, the Gretsch sucks.

These are the issues that consume my day....
Rock - Strat
Country - Gretsch
Studio - all of the above, including Tele....
