I agree with Elliot- can't beat a Tele for rhythm.
I tend to agree, but i do find myself switching between my tele and my Yam SG200, which is pretty much an LPjunior - set neck, all mahogany.
All mahogany, set neck constriction, short scale length and Mules. Pure frigging awesomeness.
Between the two of them, I think that they do everything I need.
