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".

Here's a goody, too. I've got an amp. It's a Heathkit of all things!
Built in the early 70's as near as I can get. I bought the thing at a
flea market in Chattanooga, TN, the volume knob needed a wire soldered
back on. It actually has a really nice sound. One of the guys I jam
with loves plugging his old Peavey into it and cranking up the reverb!!
