[quote="Replica"]Vintages win, both of them. And that settles it.[/quote]

[quote="Mellie"]Totally depends on the sound you are trying to achieve. Anyway, I can't even vote on this because I like them both. I will say that Gibsons are too heavy for me so I prefer to play a Strat but that's the only reason.[/quote]

that's half of my reason too. i'm not very technical, so i rarely ever mess around with the bridge and setting the strings closer to the fretboard, so i've always like the way strats and teles are set up, although i got an LP classic right now (i dig the exposed humbuckers) Plus the bodies are smaller, unless you get a Fat 10 or something like that. But i find that Gibson or even Epis are really comfortable to play....damn....i can't decide either....
