I was always into fender growing up.. in my 20's I got a really good deal on a les paul studio and, whoa, it was a world of difference. made my fenders feel like toys. One of the cats knocked the les paul over and broke it, so I'm back to a tele, and I guess my washburn is a gibson 335 copy.

I dunno. I like the old neil young quote - "every guitar has 2 or 3 songs in it" and I think I agree with that.

Oh man, I love Neil Young! I'd never heard that quote before, it's a good one!

That's so interesting what you say about Fender vs. Gibson. I should really go into a guitar store and see/hear for myself! I get shy in guitar stores though LOL I should really get over it!!

Too bad about your Les Paul! :o(

I don't know what guitar stores you have access too, but If you've got a Sam Ash, I'd recommend going there. they are a lot cooler with letting people try things than guitar center is.

I don’t think we have that store here, but there are a few local alternatives to Guitar Center.

One of these days I gotta get over myself and learn to be ok with looking stupid in a guitar store! 😂

I mean if I want to know what they all sound/feel like... I’m gonna have to take that leap!
