ive got a strat which i luv and a les paul which i also luv. strats r way better without distortion but the les paul kicks a strats ass as soon as u put it through a marshall and turn the distortion on

my problem with les pauls are the weight and balance. Maybe it was the model i played (80 something edition). I prefer my PRS over any guitar ive played in the past (Ibanez, Strat, Les Paul, Kramer, BC Rich)

PRS's are awesome and so light... im getting mine soon

Strats are seemingly a "standard" guitar. They must be at least somewhat good if so many people use them, but to me, they are just way to plain and boring. To each his own I guess.

Who ever was saying they wanted to play a US Strat as opposed to a Mexican strat, let me tell you right here and now - there is no difference! The materials and hardware is the EXACT same, even the setup will be. The difference in price is because of labour costs, a mexican will work harder for less money then an american.

man i tried both mexican and american and the mexican, for me, just didnt compare...

EddyEdwards · 07-10-2005, 07:27 AM

You didn't compare them or they contrast to each other? They are both the exact same... Just one is put together in Mexico.

i just found that when i played the mex, it was all.... bleh

the american just had a much better feel to it, for me... i realise that others will have different views.....
