Thats my next purchase, an artic white strat.

What do you mean you don't know how to play it?
Do I listen to pop music because I'm miserable or am I miserable because I listen to pop music?

I was wondering the same. It's not like the guitar changes.

A different style of playing going from acoustic to electric. It's not like I want to be strumming chords all the time. I want branch out and start doing some solos or playing some funky grooves. I can't do that as of now. Thats what I mean by not being able to play it.

Thats a very nice stratocaster man. Mine is very similar to that, except the body colour is called 'shoreline gold'.. You should learn the blues scale or the pentatonic scale. Thats what I did when I bought my strat.

The overall design of a Telecaster gives it a twangy sound. The bridge pickup has a plate on it and the cavity is different from a standard single coil slot. Plus I do believe that some Teles use different neck profiles which will impact how the guitar sounds and how you play it. They also use different woods for the bodies, Strats use alder and some Teles use ash.
