Question: What is the most ass-kicking guitar on the market?

[mongooz]

nope. That just screams 'Mustang Sally playing wedding band' to me

see......it has a totally different effect for me. i hear wind cries mary, little wing, and other bluesy stuff.

Brutal.

And just so we all know, ANY Les Paul would kick the snot out of a Strat any day of the week.

I would call that tobacco burst...
I was referring mostly to something like these:

The one you posted is pretty nice.

yea, a lot of strat bursts are pretty yellow. that second one is ok.
but, if it meant that i'd have to be 'ok' with the yellow to have an original vintage strat.....well, i think i could live with it.

The issue I have with the 3 tone bursts is that the edges are too dark and the color change doesn't happen gradually enough.
Out of the 3 I posted I'd take the top one.

Except for every single Les Paul built since roughly 1954.

Well there weren't any Strats in those years.

Actually I was half-joking,

Strats don't do much for me, but they arent that bad

25.6 scale, my man. She's more Telly than Gibby.

Hence the appeal...

I didn't when I bought mine.... rosewood board, a pair of Texas Specials on top plus the 'bucker underneath. S-1 switching and some scotchbrite on the back of the neck. The only thing I've ever added are a set of Schaller straplocks. F'n tone monster with my H&K. Same guitar as in my avatar.

That's been giving me a mighty tight pants feel lately.
