It is 10:46 am in the Western United States (Arizona) at this moment. I will post my reply and see what time is stamped and go from there

I would have agreed with both of you guy's a year ago.

I love my acoustic for what it can do, and what I can do with it. I started to play guitar so I could accompany myself singing. After a while I thought it would be easier and more fun to play electric. I went out and got a Strat. I borrowed an amp, plugged it in and was not very pleased with the twangy tone. Needless to say.....It sat in a corner, where it has been, for the last 10 years.

Recently I've been recording some things with a former frontman from a 90's Hip Hop/Funk band. I used my acoustic with a Pro Mag p/u and put down some chords. Impressed with my knowledge of chords, he brought out his 1958 Reissue Les Paul for me to play.

Let me tell you...it was fun...For a while there, I was Ace Freakin' Frehley. The sounds I could make were unbelievable. The power and ease at which I could play were startling.

Currently I play my acoustic to play and sing.

I play my LP when I want to feel like a Rock Star.

Please go to your local music store and ask to try a Les Paul through a Marshall... better yet...find a friend who has one already setup and play his...or hers. It made all the difference for me.

P.S. I've even dusted off the Strat

I believe <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_confused.gif" border=0 alt="Confused">  they are indicating (with a dash) a slide to that fret

To All

Got the Epi Les Paul Plus Top for XMAS...and I love it. It'd definetly not a Gibson, but at least now I can afford to pay my rent this year. Just got it back today from being setup. D'Addario 11's, nice low action, chunky. Mmm Mmm Good <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_biggrin.gif" border=0 alt="Very Happy">
