I agree, a real Les Paul is a thing of beauty, as is a real Strat.
Knockoffs are okay sometimes, sometimes not. Believe it or not, I've
recently aquired a Chinese made Strat that sounds quite good. Not as
good as my old made in the U.S.A. Strat, but not a bad knock around
guitar.

------------------------------

One of the nicest sounding (and easiest to play) guitar in my growing
collection is an old, Peavey "Strat" clone that Mrs.E. bought many years
ago. It sat around unused for years. I put new strings on it, tuned it up
in open "G" and am having a blast goofing around with it.

Mrs.E. prefers it's sound to the sound of the Eric CLapton "Blackie".
