What you posted in another thread recently, wanting hear clips from me: Let's 'hear these great Les Paul tones that justify mocking Strat players for their lack of taste in the preferred instrument.' I interpreted that as a Strat vs LP challenge that hinged on my playing. It seemed like you insisted that I prove my case, as if there weren't enough CD's already with LP's on them. Sorry if I took it wrong. BTW, I've never mocked good Strat players, I've consistently praised them. I think one of the greatest losses in the history of music was Hendrix's death.

I have friends that have been professional musicians for decades, their whole adult lives. Some own Strats and Teles. I joke about them, they joke about my guitars. We all laugh. I do that here, and some guys get all huffy. Face-to-face we'd have no problems, any of us. Put everyone online and things change. I don't understand that. Everything I've said on the forum, I've said to many of the Fender owners I know, and not one of them has ever had a negative reaction. Nor I when they laughed at me and my approach to music. Why does it make enemies here? It doesn't have to.
