les paul i would go for. but you'll be saving up longer than you would have to for a telecaster. they're both great guitars but les paul is usually the more popular choice.

ONLY $400!?!
only and $400 never go together in a sentence...EVER!

I'd go with the Les Paul, i have a Les Paul Studio, its awesome, i've never played a melody maker but all Gibsons are amazing... in my opinion.

WELLL people... it depends what sorta sound u want..what sorta sound do u want?? is the question u need to ask yourself. if u want quite a heavy soundin guitar, then go for the les paul, but if u want somethin softer soundin then go for the tele. tis my opinion. personally, ive got the les paul, coz they're nice to play.

My guitarist has a Sqier Start as well, and he is really angry with it. He's not sure, but he breaks strings like crazy and is wondering if it's the guitar or him. It's kind of funny tho. *Playing By The Way* *while playing* Guys, I popped a string! It sounds funny at the end...

Yeah, I think the Sqier Strat doesn't hold them correctly or something. I don't know, but I don't like it. He's my drummer's brother because we don't have a guitarist, but a kid came in today and he had a Fender Telecaster and it was awesome, I think he's in too...

You can buy Les Pauls with tremalo bar fitted to them. Or get one fitted to them.
