Currently, I'm using a G&L Tribute ASAT Special when I play for church. It can get the Tele sound, but it is capable of getting different sounds too. It's a very versatile guitar. I love it and have subsequently sold my Les Paul Studio with P94s (single coil pickups... i wasn't a fan of the stock humbuckers in there). Don't automatically discount the Tribute series because they are cheaper and made overseas... i played all the G&Ls and Tributes in the store that day and the Tribute played and sounded better than the rest
 i should take pics and post them one day.....

Many rule out G&L only because they haven't heard of them before or their local dealer doesn't get them in. My advice is find a way to try them out. They're great quality instruments.

ya they should be a bit warmer sounding. I am one of those who can never really have to hot or warm of a humbucker as I can dial out volume or back off to get my tone easier than getting a lesser pup to scream when needed. Anyway I have played a classic( Taylor) though a Roland cube amp and got some pretty good tone out of it. Pup could handle a variety of amp sims well. I would say if you want something warmer than a single coil but not as hot as some full on HBer`s the Taylor 3/4 just may be for you. If you can ply one i`ld recommend it. Even take your amp or Pod in with you to try it out so you know what you are getting. Lee

Does anyone here know if Jim at Guitar Rodeo sells Fenders, or is he just a Taylor dealer? I can call tomorrow and ask him, I just figured I'd see if someone here could answer my question first.

Guitar Rodeo is a Taylor-exclusive dealer. Besides, once you see a Taylor solidbody, you'll be thinking "What's a Fender and why do I care?"

I didn't realize until I started this thread that Ben Gowell, Paul Baloche's electric player, uses an American Deluxe Tele. I think it sounds great for their music. I just wonder if the Tele and my Pod could give me a beefy enough sound to do some Lincoln Brewster and Hillsong stuff.

 Just kidding. The good thing about guitars is that people can find what they enjoy and enjoy what they find.

I'm biased of course but after trying a ton of electrics I would recommend the following:
Strat Type: DeTemple or Lentz Tele Type: DeTemple or Lentz Les Paul Type: Huber Orca These are the three "main" types of electrics, but there are also the following: - Duesenberg - Gibson 335 Type: Collings I-35 or I-35 LC (one of my next acquisitions most likely) Don't forget a great amp and pedals (and there are many!)

I currently own 16 of them. Since you're wanting to stay away from strat style guitars my suggestion is the G&L, Asat Classic Custom. Here's my Asat Classic Custom:
