hwy 1 for an epi lp black beauty

Re: hwy 1 for an epi lp black beauty

The massive quality difference aside...

If you got the Epi you would have to stare at that horrendous rosewood fretboard, that's enough for me...

Seriously? You can say NO to that???? Tue - it needs black speed knobs, but so what?

Honestly, I'd say they are the same guitar relatively speaking. However - epi pups - meh. The strat with Duncans has got to be the better sounding guitar if you like the general strat tone.

So you upgrade PU's in the LP, which you can do very affordably if you buy them used.

A Hwy 1 may cost more, but 'cool' is in the eye, and ear, of the beholder. I've heard so many tinny and shrill Strats over the years that any 'cool factor' has long since vanished with them (my ears still hurt). In the right hands they can sound great, but they're ain't enough 'right hands' to go around.

None of my Strats are tinny or shrill.

I would trade in an instant....I hate strats and Love LP's....

But do what you want to do man....

I think that…

Bahhh, I don't even care. If you guys need me for anything, I'll be the dead hooker in the bathtub.
