I could never get into the strat's, I had one infact it was my very first guitar I learned on when I was 17. They didnt rip the way I like guitars in the sound I dunno what it was with em. One guy I highly admire is John5 and he lives on Strats.
I dunno how he does it but the Strat is a solid axe for sure and great instrument.
I play through a Roland Jazz Chorus 120 Vintage and will post some footage in a bit using the LP and the Roland

Ya got a fat collection there herb! It's very nice!
