me, personally, i always like to have both up there on stage with me. because of the great difference between both of them in sound and in action and feel, i would love to always have both there.
i play many different styles of music- rock, blues, alternative, ect. but no matter what kind of music i play i love the les paul. its the feel, shape, sound, tone. now don't get me wrong, strats are great guitars. But in my oppion les pauls rock the house.
i do find that strats are better for playing really fast licks.
