If you don't like twangy, I would certainly stay away from the Gretsch (though I think a Gretsch with Filtertrons is a fabulous sound). I have a 67 Gretsch Nashville with the original Filtertrons and I really like it. But my other electric guitar is a Tele, so I like thin and twangy. I just think there is more character in the Gretsch than in the Strat or Les Paul. But sounds like that is a character you don't like, so I'd go with the Fender.
