Well, you couldn't have chosen two more disparate guitars to choose from. The Tele will always have a bright sound due to the solid body, single coil pickups and maple neck which is great for country and some rock music The Byrdland is a semi hollow body jazz guitar with humbuckers and a rosewood neck. This is more suited to blues and jazz. Additionally the Byrdland will be prone to feedback at high volumes. Ultimately the decision will be more about what type of music you intend to play and what kind of amp your are using. A Tele will roar on just about any amp but the Gibson will not like being pushed through a Marshall stack. Both are fine guitars but just for different types of music.
