It was meant in fun and think he knows it. I'm glad to see someone have so much energy here and go where he wants rather than follow the herd. Just dont tell me the herd is wrong just because

Oh I know. I thought it was funny! Creamy definitely has an independant streak.

Re: My blind hate of strats
Another vote for Gibson! No other company can match their innovations and variety: the LP, 335, SG, 175, Flying V, etc. Best designs, best tones. Seems like the average Strat buyer is on auto-pilot, making the purchase "because everyone else has a Strat" or because "They look cool" and winds up taking home a tinny-sounding guitar that looks like a high-school shop project. Some of them (not all) just don't think through their guitar-selection. No argument; there are guys that make a Strat sing (Hendrix, Blackmore, Healey, Montoya, and sometimes Clapton), but there are legions that can't figure out how to get them so they don't sound so thin & trebley. To my ears, they inherently make a distinctive aluminum-sounding clanging ("Strat quack"). Maybe its all the abusers that have soured me on them. In the right hands, they're great. Just not enough of those hands to go around. Besides, there's nothing like going to a blues jam with a 335 (while everyone else has a Strat or Tele), and clearly having the best-sounding guitar in the place. Like a Strat-playing friend once told me "Its too easy to get a good tone with humbuckers."

I dunno, buckers can't come close to matching the versatility of a good single coil.

Re: My blind hate of strats
I'd have to agree with you there. Although, I do like mustangs/duos more than the 335. And I can't stand Les Pauls. But their semi-hollows and their p90'ed guitars are fantastic.

Aww cream you don't dislike LPs that much. You like mine at least a little, so you can't hate them all!

Re: My blind hate of strats
It's all subjective. Sometimes you WANT to hurt somebody's ears with the treble...sometimes you wanna let the low mids wash over them...it's not an either/or thing.
It's like saying, "Philip's head screwdrivers are sooo much more effective than flatheads..."

...but........they are.
I can't think of a single situation where a flat head screw is used that wouldn't be improved by using a Phillips instead.

Just the Gibson / Fender argument...while we're at it, the Marshall / Fender argument, the Xbox / Playstation arguement, hot dog / cheeseburger argument too.
They're all GOOD, we don't have to fight about it.:friday:

Who argues about hot dogs/hamburgers? Everyone knows hamburgers are about 100 times better.
