Oh Font Of All Knowledge That Is The PDML,

Anyone here swing an axe? My son plays an acoustic 6 string, and has
professed a desire for an electric. I would like to get him a surprise
for his birthday in a few weeks so am doing my research. I am minded to
look for a Telecaster, probably a Mex as it's in our price range...

Whaddya say?

Heretical opinion to follow:

Never been a huge fan of the "Fender Sound." Too bright for me. I like a little meat in the music, so I lean more toward the Gibson end of the spectrum. I wouldn't, however, turn down a decent Strat or Tele if someone bought me one.

If I were in your shoes, in addition to the Fenders (Strats and Tele's) I'd be looking into the Epiphone line, like the Les Paul they offer based on the "real" Les Pauls of their parent company. I'd also check out Washburn, Ibanez, and the Paul Reed Smith models in the general price range.
