Rain Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 (edited) According to my Facebook memories, 10 years ago, to the day, I went to Sam Ash in NY to buy an inexpensive Strat with a humbucker as an ealy brirthday gift but walked out with an Epiphone les Paul. I'd been playing strats ever since I had bought a replacement for my first guitar, a uber cheap LP knock off. I didn't want to hear about Les Paul's anymore because I had dislike that first guitar so much. The Epiphone made me realize how much I liked actually Les Paul's and how awesome they could be, and I ended up buying and playing mostly LPs and SGs for the next 10 years, including my main guitar, a white Gibson LP Studio. Lately, I've been listening to a lot of Hendrix, Gilmour, SRV, and the likes, and I felt I really needed a new strat. The old 1996 would need new frets and a lot of TLC, and, a this time, it just seemed simpler to retire it, at least temporarily, and to get a new one. And today, well, Mr. Fedex delivered this one. Just what the doctor ordered. Plays like a dream. And so I finally got my early birthday strat, only 10 years later.

Tim Smith Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Can you comment on why you prefer the Strat over something like a Gibson? For me, the pickups on any Gibson I've ever played were not the cleaner sound I was looking for. I like that body style as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
