<i>A comment on the Japanese Strat vs.
the Les Paul.</i>
<font face="Arial">Strat has longer scale, so clean sounds ring out better.
Pauls are made in US, so a japanese strat
is a guitar that most in the states
do not have.
Duncan (and other) replacement PUs
can add a humbucking sound .
A Les Paul player is born and bred
a Paul player: something to do with
midrange and the fret spacing
A guitar is a personal choice
so listen to the fingers and the ears
and see what fits how you play </font>
I use a "parts" tele with chandler
baswwod body and rosewood neck,
duncan 59 neck and hot rails bridge
that coil splits
through MXR supercomp, boss chorus, dunlop wah
and line 6 delay into a GK Backline100.
I also play bass through it.
We play all covers and i do not want the
hassle of switching rigs for different
instruments. Tubes make a difference,
but I do not gig enough to care.
Seagull acoustic for home.
I think equipment depends not just
on the players ears, which can always
hear the difference between
tube and transistor, but also on the
relatively untutored and uncaring ears of your audience,
As long as you can use your tools
to play what you want, people do not hear
the differences in the gear.
If you can afford it, go buy my '83 rig
of a '63 jazzmaster, a brownface bassman and
a fender tube reverb. It cost less back then
but i guess collectibility matters more now
than playability.
If people dance, and like the sound, it rocks
