Fender Guitars???

I am buying a guitar, and want some advice. I listen to tons of different music, ranging from Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Frank Zappa, and a lot of other 60s/70s artists to more modern acts like R.E.M., Pearl Jam, old school Red Hot Chili Peppers, even bands like Modest Mouse, and solo acts like Ray Lamontagne, Jack Johnson, and Amos Lee….so heres the quesiton of the day, what guitar should i buy??? I am considering either a tele or maybe a jaguar, i know there is a price difference, i am not extremely concerned, but which would be better overall? If not one of these guitars what would you recommend (i do really prefer fender though)???

Zappa played a Hagstrom Viking a lot.
R.E.M.s Peter Buck plays Rickenbackers.
Bob Dylan I think played a Gibson ES as well as acoustics.

Each has a different sound.

Don’t try to find a single instrument that perfectly replicates what all those people (or even one of them) can do.
Find a number of instruments that just sound and feel good to you and develop your own style (which may be inspired by others of course).

Why do you prefer Fender? And why are you looking only solidbody electrics?

If you were to buy a single guitar only, I’d probably choose a Hagstrom Viking of HJ600, maybe an Ibanez AF custom.
But I have 3 instruments (though no solidbody electrics, and I don’t miss them), each with its own personality and sound.
And I don’t think that’s all I’ll have a year from now…

King`s Lucille, Willie Nelson`s Trigger, Eric Clapton`s Brownie, the J-160E that John Lennon played during his 1968 "bed-in" with Yoko, Jimi Hendrix`s hand-painted Flying V in full psychedelic regalia.

Martin, Orville Gibson, Leo Fender—the Henry Ford of guitars—and the mad genius Lloyd Loar. And individual luthiers, like Linda Manzer (her Pikasso II has 42 tunable strings), the maverick Ken Parker, and old-world artisan John D`Angelico, staring at skyscrapers from his Lower East Side shop and creating the ultimate art deco masterpiece, "The New Yorker."

Cigar Box Guitars (Paperback) $17.91 Part DIY guide, part scrapbook – this book takes you behind the music to get a glimpse into the faces, places and workshops of the cigar box revolution. Cigar box guitars have never been more popular and now you can learn to make your own. You don`t need to spend a lot of money and you don`t need to have a shop full of tools. All you need to do is follow the author`s step-by-step instructions for making three different styles of guitar. They`re fun (some would say addictive) to build and even more fun to play!The guitars that can be made with this book:     • Basic CBG: A simple build with the minimum number of components. It`s a three string acoustic instrument built from a paper covered box and played with a slide and has burned-in fret lines, but no real frets.     • Slightly Nicer CBG. Uses a nicer cigar box, has a more decorative, built-up headstock. Also has burned in fret-lines and three strings. In addition, this one incorporates a very simple piezo pickup so it can be played through an amplifier. Slightly more complex in woodworking terms and involves a bit of wiring and soldering.     • Cigar Box Telecaster. This one would be built from a cigar box and a pre-fabbed six-string guitar neck. It would use commercial pickups and volume/tone controls. I`m picturing it as a tribute to the Fender Telecaster. It involves more complicated woodworking and much more wiring/soldering, as well as filling much of the box with wood to support the tension of six steel strings. More than just a how-to guide, this book chronicles the modern revival of the cigar box guitar. You’ll learn a bit about its roots, influential personalities and the cultural trends that are bringing this instrument back to the musical landscape. Author and professional photographer, David Sutton introduces readers the faces of the C
