Nice looking rack of guitars there elavd! It would be fun to come to your house and see just how different those strats sound from one another, and then play around with the tele and the '51! Then, go back to the strats. I can just feel myself goofing around with "Wish you were here" on your black one.Originally Posted by elavd

...Just chiming in...
If I had to choose I would definitely say I am a LP guy. But I haven't played many strats. When I got into electric guitar, I gravitated immediately toward the LP, being a huge allman brothers fan. Always loved that heavier, fatter blues sound that duane, dickey, and haynes get. Although lately I've been drooling over a good strat. Especially since seeing/hearing robert's deluxe players model.
As for knobs, I am constantly turnin them to get the sounds I want. And I almost always use the volume to clean up my sound and get a clean tone, then crank it up to get a full drive.

Thanks sunvalleylaw
My black strat has been modded since then, and now looks closer to the Gilmour's blackie strat. Take a look:
I've also modded my Squier 51 (because I didn't like the humbucker at all) and put a Dream 90 on it...
Now, it looks like that:
(I have a thread here, with clips, photos etc... )

Yep! I see that '51 has a humbucker in it, so you must be an LP guy!
Yes, nice line up indeed! A little slice of single-coil heaven there!
To respond to Leonidas: IMO, any player seriously interested in classic rock guitars should own a Strat and an LP. Consider the proportion of rock guitar classics that have been performed on one or the other of those venerable tone machines!
