I'm a player. 20 or so guitars inc a strat but no les paul...though I love les' playing. Mostly into gypsy jazz now so most of my guitars are acoustic/jazz.
Played in lots of rock bands over the years though almost always using strats or steinbergers.
In a rather unmorganlike way, these days my favourite two guitars are made of carbon fibre...no wood......but they are so reliable. They can be tuned at home, driven to a gig even an open air one and played without any tuning issues.Peace of mind in performance.
