Help me pick out a new guitar..

Re: Help me pick out a new guitar..

Yeah, but if you already have an LP, you need a Strat or a Tele, right? I dig the Strats more (ergonomics are important to me), and with the right pickups, you can approximate a Tele thing. But until one single guitar screams out to you, it isn't the right time to buy.

That's where I am at. I have two Les Pauls that I love but no Strat or Tele has felt right to me yet. I don't like the new ones so I am going to start looking at older ones.
I agree, I like the ergos of the Strat better and whatever I buy will be modded, I don't leave many guitars stock. I just haven't bonded with a neck on any of them I have played yet.

Well, just don't settle for something you are not 100% happy with. I am not one of those guitarists that owns one of every type..I kind of use 1 type of guitar and get a handful of sounds I use from those. So I never use true Teles or Strats or LPs- the ergonomics of Teles and LPs keeps me away from them. Keep a lookout for nice MIM Fenders, s they are generally cheap and awesome to mod.

I sold an mim stratocaster and regret doing so. I didn't like the color and I got rid of it. It played fantastic for the $250 I gave for it.
