NONE, ZERO, absolutely nothing, in fact unless I owned one that I could sell on EBay for some nice change, I think it would be used as firewood. Advantages, hah! I've been playing almost 30 years and my answer to that is there are NONE! Unless you want a really "twangy" very treble like sound. I mean I guess that's why the normal music you see these guitars being used, is usually in Country and Western and stuff like that. But trust me, I have l(last time I checked) 21 different electric guitars. (I actually used to tour back in the days when Metal was king, playing with bands like Anthrax, Motorhead, etc. So I have almost every guitar imaginable. lots of customs, Les Pauls, Custom USA Custom shop Strats, Jacksons, the list goes on. BUT THE ONE GUITAR THAT I DON'T HAVE, OR EVEN THOUGHT ABOUT OWNING ONE, IS THE TELECASTER. Sorry, but that's just my opinion, and remember I'm a MetalHead at heart, so you might get a completely different answer and attitude for somebody that say, loves Country & Western and music like that. But me, I would never even think about plugging a Tele into one of my Marshall or Randall stacks. To me, that's like puting a 2 barrel carborator, on a big block 454 or 396 enginie. Write me back if you like, for I love to talk guitars and stuff. My email to use is; RANGERFAN17@YAHOO.COM Good luck iin whateve you choose, but seriousley though, a "TELE", it even sounds like an accourdian of some kind. Or better yet, once I was in London, and where I was staying with friends the phone rang, and someone said, "Are you, or are you not, getting the "tele"!

It all depends on the type of strat and the type of tele.I may not be qualified to speak, seeing as how I am a Gibson man.But I once owned a tele delux and I've played a gazillion strats.My delux was a good guitar, especially with the split level humbuckers, but even then it still just sounded like a beefier country guitar.Now I am aware of the fact that SRV played both, but I would still see a tele as a c&w guitar and a strat, with that out of phase effect, as a very distinctive Rock guitar.You definetly won't get that out of a tele.I have yet to see one that could.
Just forego the whole damn issue and buy a Les Paul!

The biggest advantage is the fixed bridge. Standard Fenders have a movable vibrato bridge, the Tele has a fix bridge which allows for better tuning stability.
A big disadvantage of the Tele is the lack of body contour. The Strat body contour is much more comfortable on the right upper arm.

I have one of each and outside of the fixed bridge I don't think there are any advantages. They just both have very different sounds. The Tele is cleaner and twangy, maybe even a little thin sounding.
