I know it's everyone's personal opinion but I was just curious on which guitar out of the 3 that most people on this forum would choose. I have a Les Paul and I absolutely love it. I will always keep it but I would like a Strat or Tele or both along with another Les Paul one day. Which out of the 3 would everyone choose and why?

    I've got Les Paul blood running through my veins. Not literally, of course. :D I'm quite fond of Teles as well, but a LP will always be my main axe.

    I'm a Strat man.

    I'm a Strat man as well. Eager to get a Tele too, once I get the $$$'s.

    As you can tell, I'm a Fender Man overall

    PRS - I don't own one any more, but it's the best of both (Strat/LP) worlds.
    If I could only choose 1 out of those 3 guitars, it'd be a Les Paul Standard.

    I'd love to own all three. I love Les Pauls and would really like to get one, though recently I've had more of an urge to get a tele. I own a strat though and I love that guitar. Not that strats are necessarily my favourite guitar, though when I was younger most of my favourite players played them so that's why I got one. That guitar just feels so right for me, it's not so much the sound I get from it but the feeling from it when I hold it.

    If I had no guitar and went to buy one today it would either be a Tele or a Les Paul.

    I have an Epi LP but to be honest I'm not that bothered with it. It's good an' all but I prefer playing my Epi Dot. Would love a Tele, mainly because it's a totally different sound to the Dot. Hopefully will make a custom Tele when I can afford it. Warmoth is extortionate when it comes to sending overseas :(

    It seems like it's pretty even so far. All 3 guitars are amazing guitars. I would love to own a PRS one day as well. I have a lifetime to collect guitars and that's what I hope to do.

    Les Paul for me.

    I do want a Tele and later a Strat. But an R9 is #1 on the list.

    Fowls..I have an Epi LP and a Gibson LP. I like my Epi....I'm in love with my Gibson. There's no comparison.

    Aye, my Epi is pretty good now I've changed out the pickups, but I'm much in love with semi-hollows these days. I can't really justify buying a Gibson, well unless it was a studio model and they're rubbish.

    The Dot was the guitar that I thought I would get next, it might well still be, but recently I've just had an overwhelming urge to get a Tele.

    I really, really want a 52 Reissue Tele but I also want a Taylor acoustic. I don't have an acoustic and my instructor is on my ass about it. He wants to do alternate tuning stuff and is determined to get me to buy one.


    I just really, really like that 52 Tele. :eek:

    To hard to decided since I own an LP Studio and a Strat. I guess it depends what mood I'm in. Love 'em both.
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me.

    You gotta love those teles, just so damn cool.

    Having said that, there IS something about a Strat with me, they just sit right. As much as I want to love the other guitars, nothing sits on me like a Strat.

    If price is not an issue, I'd take a Les Paul because it could be an R8, R9 or etc. I guess I'm saying Gibson's high end beats out Fender's high end. If we're talking the sub $2000 range, I'm going with the best tele i can find.

    What is an R8, R9 etc.?
  • Posts: 1,591
    All 3?

    I have a 57 Gold Top Reissue that is amazing, as well as two Strats that I love.

    I still want to get a Tele one of these days, restore the Fender to Gibson ratio in my collection back to equal.
