probably the most important response in the whole thread (imo)

for me, the idea of paying $1000+ for a strat is ludicrous. my ear can't tell the difference, especially if you buy a mexican one and put a set of pick ups in it. get all the coolness, for way less $$

same thing between gibson and epiphone. i had a guy put me down once for playin an epi les paul. i went next door and got my buddies gibson les paul, turned out the lights, and he couldn't tell the difference. that was the end of him talkin smack about my epi les paul. the biggest difference was my epi was less than 1/2 the price.

another guy used to knock my suziki intruder because he rode a heritage. that ended when he road my suzuki and realized he coulda bought 2 of mine for what he paid for his, and still had 6 grand left over. don't be fooled by the hype. try everything.
