From the comments:
I use .012 flatwounds on my archtops. And I use .011 Elixir Nanowebs for the Tele.

2. Bumhucker neck pickup

The Magician vs. The Wand!
-
One is solid, the other hollow. I can hear you!!
-
I think the most significant tonal differences between solid body and archtop guitars are in the dynamics and in the attack. So soft and even picking or using gentle fingerstyle don't always bring out these differences.
-
There is a very subtle difference I hear. The archtop has a slightly warmer, "woodier" tone than the Tele. But I tried closing my eyes to hear the difference, and found that my hearing is shot.
-
I clearly hear the difference, the archtop is more 3 dimensional and deeper, while the telecaster is flatter with a different attack and decay.
If I had to distinguish each guitar if they were played by themselves, archtop or telecaster, it would be impossible for me though..
But played one after the other the difference jumps out.
And I prefer the archtop for that kind of sound, but the telecaster is very good also.
A few years ago I wouldn't have asked myself these kind of things and i just played whatever felt in my hands and felt happy.
Interweb has gotten me on the road to cork sniffing in a way.. Well..
-
Two very good sounds.
It would be interesting to compare with the same types of strings.
