i think most guys here own or built all three me im a strat or super strat guy but love a night on my teles, all 3 have their good points and bad points just get what you like, i have a ibanez iron series with 26.5 scale length and drop tune metal is my weapon of choice. if you're buying a guitar and not building go to a shop and try them all, as for the comment a tele can chicken pick and CW they can do rock just as easy
