Two different voices. The Fender Stratocaster is bright, glassy, percussive with the famous in-between "quack". The Fender Telecaster is twangy, bright, cutting with a tight, focused bridge bite. Here is how they compare and which to pick.

The same record needs different knobs on each. A Fender Stratocaster wants more gain and less treble than a humbucker guitar; a Fender Telecaster wants more gain and trimmed treble versus a humbucker guitar. That compensation is exactly what GuitarToneAdapt calculates — pick any famous tone and it re-dials the settings for whichever guitar you own.
