Quote HistoryQuoted: Tough call, but I say Les Paul. I guess I am currently partial to PRS works, although I wonder what will happen when Paul finally decides to retire. God bless ALL American made guitars. God knows pretty much EVERYONE longs for them, worldwide. |

The les Paul is the biggie here, with the fender strat running a close second

I voted Strat simply because it's my personal preference and my favorite songs tend to be played with Strats.
But I wouldn't argue with anyone who voted for a LP. I have a couple of those for the times I'm in a mood for that sound. |

Strat or Les Paul, depending on what you're doing and how you play, If you want to sit on a stool and play then you want the strat. Les Paul is not comfortable to do that with. Seems awkward to me. I've got both here and I'll pick the strat up 95% of the time but I love the action and the sound of the LP.

Just for the sake of mental masturbation, the original PRS Custom 24 attempted to "split the significant difference" between the Fender scale length and the Gibson scale length, and the playability characteristics and feel of both. Yes, they have traditionally been way overpriced, and I have little political love for the State of Maryland, but they are mostly made all by hand, here on the East Coast of the U.S.

I voted Les Paul. I have one copy I built myself. I have Strats and strat copies. ESP, Ibanez, Kramer, Jackson, Dean. I have an equal number of Explorers.... One Gibson, Washburn A-20, 2 Deans, 2 Mockingbirds. I would say the Explorer is the definitive rock guitar.....

I voted Les Paul even though I personally like my Fender Stratocasters better as far as sound goes.

The question wasn't "was used by a couple of guys to great effect", now was it? You do know what "quintessential" means, right? |

LP. Not even close. And I don’t own one yet. I can't play the things. I own clones of a strat, baby strat, and a bass. No talent at all. I have been trying to find kids who want to learn to loan/give them to. No joy. But I'll keep my tobacco sunburst Squier Strat. Too pretty. ETA: I have actually given two away, and started a monster. Cool. |

Out of the ones listed I'll say Strat, but I'm another Ibanez RG guy. All of mine are '88-89 RG560s and a 550. |
