Re: POLL: "Perfect' or "Complete" guitar
Oh, I think one can lead a very full musical life without a Strat. Some of my favorite guitarists use(d) Strats, but there are many, many more that manage to produce sounds not unlike those of nails on a chalkboard. Those thin, twangy tones are not everyone's cup of tea. As Wah Wah here once said: "Strats do not suffer fools lightly." They're often difficult instruments to get good tones out of, which makes me admire those few that do. Maybe you need to be a better guitarist to play a Strat well, hence the problem with so many of them falling into 'the wrong hands.'
By the same token, many Strat owners have no interest in having a bulky, warm-toned 10 lb LP. They often find the sound thick and muddy. Some players have certain preferences and focuses, and see no need to have guitars to 'play everything' (how many of us are good enough to play many different genres? Most guys have their hands full with one). :cool2:
