Buying a guitar, advice?

I play in a punk/posthardcore band. I’m thinking about buying a regular standard American fender telecaster. I like traditional strat, but i need a guitar with more variety. I really like the way Les Pauls sound. And I think Tom Delonge (blinks my fav.) guitar sounds pretty good. But I’m looking for a guitar in between $200-$500. A link to guitar site would be cool.

When you said punk/posthardcore band, a tele was not the first guitar to come to mind. If you need a guitar with a lot of variety, it may not be what you want. ESp and Dean make some really nice versatile guitars in you price range. I would go guitar “shop-hopping” and try to play around on a bunch of different ones. You can get suggestions from us all day, but you are never really going to know if it’s what you want til you play it yourself.
