Help Budokai

BUDOKAI · 11-03-2009, 10:37 PM

If i were to sell my strat to fund a les paul of similar value, will i miss my strat or regret selling it? I'm sure someone here has done this before, i'm really gassin for an lp.

Mr Insane · 11-03-2009, 10:38 PM

If it plays good, you'll regret it.

what if the les paul is way better?

Mr Insane · 11-03-2009, 10:41 PM

Than I'm going to guess no.

claricSTi · 11-03-2009, 10:42 PM

I have been trying to make the decision on which way to go lately. It seems the best answer is to get both. You already have a nice guitar so just keep playing it and save up for a LP. Then when you get your LP you will have an awesome single coil guitar as well as a rockin humbucker guitar, it'll be the best of both worlds.

Boleskinehouse · 11-03-2009, 10:43 PM

I can't see regretting losing a Strat for a Les Paul, but I'm no Fender freak.

BUDOKAI · 11-03-2009, 10:45 PM

Looks like i'll save up as of now, if i don't explode of gas before then. les pauls ae the reason im on the forum in the first place, i feel left out

. Please wise ones, tell me what to do

And here we all were, thinking you'd joined to talk about Strats.

Well the strat forum is deserted.

disom007 · 11-03-2009, 11:20 PM

I have 2 1983 Strats and I have to admit they have not had near the play time as my LP's. If I had to, I could make it without the Strats but I could NOT make it without the LPs. But that's just my opinion, some people are completely opposite (but I dont know why

).

I guess weight isnt a problem for me bc i carry heavy stuff on my back every day, why not?

I just don't want to miss my strat...

claricSTi · 11-03-2009, 11:49 PM

If you think you will miss it, then you probably will. There is a lot of great strats out there though, so you could always replace the fender later down the line if needed. I have personally decided to go the MIJ route since my means won't cover a gibson at the moment. Maybe something like that would be a good way for you to have an lp without getting rid of your strat.

For the record I am a huge fender lover, I as well have been overwhelmed by gas due to all these beautiful les pauls on the forum. After deciding I couldn't afford a gibson I was pretty set on getting a MIA strat instead. I just can't pull the trigger though, I don't jones for a strat like I do a LP. Even though I love fender, damn, there is something about the aesetitcs of a LP and that unmistakable tone that I just can't get over.

But like I said, maybe a MIJ could be your way of owning both guitars without having to spend 2000 bucks on a gibson

well i know for sure i cant get a gibson anytime soon. Maybe an epi

. just need to know if an lp can cover for my strat, i will need to try some out. Lp's look way better, that's for sure.

jonesy · 11-03-2009, 11:59 PM

Sometimes you gotta give up something to get something else. I say if you can work out a deal trade off the Strat, and get an LP, at least you will have something different to play

claricSTi · 11-04-2009, 12:07 AM

There is some great epis out there, you have to look for em but they are definitely there. I might end up going the same route unless I decide to pull the trigger on a MIJ model. There has been some great specimens for sale on ebay lately running anywhere from $600+. I saw a nice Burny go for $570 on the bay not to long ago, that's the price of a plus-top epi

BUDOKAI · 11-04-2009, 12:09 AM

my strat and epi standard are about the same price range.

Mein Gott! What have you been doing here? Do you just post without reading anything?

xguitardevilx · 11-04-2009, 12:40 AM

What kind of Strat do you have and how much do you want for it? See I'm in the opposite position where I want to try a Strat but I'm not selling my LP.

No, I meant to say that I was amazed you have 1446 posts yet still needed to ask those questions... Which led me to ask if you actually read the forum at all.

I figured it would be easier to ask instead so i can get a more "direct" answer, instead of gathering info from the entire forum.

djwilbanks · 11-04-2009, 01:11 AM

You posted on this forum expecting a direct answer? Now that's comedy.

xguitardevilx · 11-04-2009, 01:15 AM

ohh I'm looking for an American Strat sorry guy.
