Someone told me they prefer the Stratocaster over the Les Paul because they can make his Strat sound like a LP but he can't make his LP sound like a Strat. I know some of my friends who are guitar players who feel the need to buy the same gear as their favorite artist. Although I think it a little be easier if you want your own sound to find one you can be happy with close to 100% satisfaction. I don't know that is how I look at it.

Each might be perfect in its own right, but comparing them to another guitar one can see they have their limits. The Telecaster is a slab of wood, and doesn't have the contour body of a Stratocaster, so after playing a Strat a Telecaster seem uncomfortable and you can't get the 2/4 position like on a Strat. I don't like the Nashiville Telecaster with three p-ups if I wanted a guitar with three p-ups I would play a Strat :/ The most comfortable Fender model is the Jazzmaster, way more comfortable then a Strat, but that doesn't has the Fender American Standard Strat Tremolo System.

I'd rather not have a trem bridge, honestly. Every time I've used a guitar with tremolo, it seems like the damn thing goes out of tune within a few hours. Even decent guitars like the Gretsch Electromatic Hollowbody with the Bigsby tailpiece had that issue.

Plus, it's not really an important part of how I play.

Haha yea its pretty out there. I guess I actually deep down do want a trem. Im sure you hate them but I have been DYING to throw a bigsby on my thinline tele for ages. Im just to cheap to buy a real B5.

You are a vintage hater :) Personally my feeling on the matter is Leo got it right the first time (well maybe not the uncompensated saddles) and there little advancement in the building of guitars that I need. No while this rings true for you, I dont shred and divebomb EVH style so I dont need a Floyd Rose with locking tuners and a 15" board to fly on. In my honest opinion I think a player that sounds good on an RG for instance will sound just as good and have no problems playing on a fender neck, and with a little elbow grease using a strat trem.
