Question for guitarists: What's up with old dudes who have two dozen strats but no other guitars?

My explanation:
Strats are best for clean or light crunch tones, LP-style guitars are best for heavy distortion. If you play all kinds of styles you'll want all kinds of guitars, but if you only play softer stuff you'll only need strats.
I personally only have one strat and one LP-style electric, the rest of my guitars are acoustics and a dobro. Out of all these the LP clone is the one I use the least. I could live without it, but I keep it around just in case!
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79519626 While what you say is correct about the type of tones they create. This has todo with 3 things, the pickups, the controls in the guitar (pots and caps) and the Amplifier...thats it. The shape, and wood have Waaaaaaay less to do with it. I posted a video above...but look up Jim Lill's YouTube channel. He's a Nashville session guy who did a ton of experiments to prove or disprove tone woods. Also, to see the same experiments with speaker cabinets, see specter sound studios YouTube channel. He got killer tones out of a cab made of partial board.
