Banned in 2 week for <10 posts. Is there a leaderboard for that sort of thing?

it's all in the star shaped shades and platform boots.

I reckon when they get banned so fast is because their IP matches another banned user.
Fascinating behaviour. OCD, much?

Funk is on the one, not the three. Or is that just for the bass?

I think either (and as someone else said, a funky player can deliver on any ax), but for sure I would start with either (I tend to in theory prefer Strat for it, but in practice I find myself playing funkier with a Tele.. though when I am recording in my own studio since I don't own a strat or tele, I mostly use my Ibanez S-540 or Herman Li E-Gen (yes I know neither designed with this purpose in mind)).

Wasn't Prince's Tele a knockoff? Also a lot of the rhythm parts from the Revolution era (at least live) were played by Wendy Melvoin on a Rickenbacker. Freddie Stone played a 335 as well as various members of the Funk Brothers. Steve Cropper played a Tele. The guy who played guitar on Stop Making Sense used a Strat. I've heard St. Vincent lay down some funky grooves on her own model as well as Jaguars and Jazzmasters. Most of the guitarists with P-Funk have played Strats but I have also seen DeWayne McKnight with a PRS. EWF's current rhythm guitarist plays a Les Paul.

Ultimately it's more about the feel and the chops, and any player can deliver etc. but I'd recommend something with a fixed bridge and single coils.

Yes it was a Hohner Tele knock off.

And definitely agree with you and single coils being something that will be definitely useful.

Freddie Stone often played a Tele.
I think Tele and Strat are good for funk

Yeah, the quack in pos 2&4 in a tele is really amaaazing!

Best guitar for funk
