I have made some sweet music with my ‘76 Les Paul custom but after acquiring my tele, it’s all I play anymore. I keep the Les Paul around because it’s beautiful, somewhat sentimental, and, at nearly 40 years old, irreplaceable to me but I rarely play it. The tele rocks man. I play through a marshal amp and a fender amp. Hard to say which of those I like more. I’m listening to a jam I recorded on the fender/fender setup a few weeks ago- it’s an eargasm.
It’s nice to have both flavors. I love my Strat, until I am playing a song that really needs the sound of a Les Paul...then I love my Les Paul until I am playing a song that really needs the sound of a Strat (rinse & repeat)!

I appreciate that those who love them love them, but it's just not the guitar for me.
