Default What to choose?

I am getting a new/used guitar.. only for once..

I know it took 10 more guitars to settle with what I have..

I just don't have energy to go on of this elect guitar journey.

Which one would u choose?

Fender Telecaster Deluxe Ash body.
Or
Duesenberg dragster or startplayer (don't care wheatear it's hollow body or not)

I am using it for church band.. which I have been playing for.~

I know it's so much options out there.. with all the research and playing the gutiars.. I just came with two guitars..~

my budget is about 2k..~


I already purchased T-rex Magnus to go with~~ simpler set up for the pedal~~

I wasn't sure what the question was, but that sounds like a good answer.

I have a telecaster (only been playing a short while). I got the tele while searching for a strat. I have no idea why I jumped ship at the last minute, but I love it. I don't think you need 2K for a tele, but if you can, it will be glorious (I'd get the orange/cherry burst).

I like the tele because the neck and bridge are miles apart tone wise. My pickups feel very low output (compared to other guitars), and I can get a lot of really nice sounds. When I want something aggressive, it is a quick overdrive away.

Once I bought the tele, I started wanting EVERY other model of guitar I saw, but when I try them at the guitar store, they just aren't satisfying.

I play through a Mustang III. It has the XLR outputs (church PA), it is quiet enough for practice, loud enough as an on stage amp, and millions of tone options. Those 2 pieces of gear (tele + mustang III) cured my electric gas 100%...

... now I just have to satisfy these acoustic cravings...
