Well, I play mostly Ibanez guitars that split the difference between the two. I like both equally for different things.

I do however have a problem with Les Paul guitars with the placement of my picking hand and the rings on the pickups... I seem to be able to hit all kinds of plastic with the pick... it seems Les Pauls and me are not going to be friends. They're also a little heavy compared with the radius (JS) type guitars I favour.

Likewise if I get a little over-zealous on a strat when using the bridge pickup, I hit the pickup selector with my hand, or roll the volume down with the side of my pinky...

I guess we're all used to what we're used to...

In a straight battle between the two, I'd probably take either a strat with EMGs or a Les Paul routed for a floyd rose ( :eek: )

I'm glad we cleared that up.... ;)
