where the flip do you strum, over the fretboard? i strum in between the pickups and its not at all convenient.

I strum closer to the bridge for that davy sound, but i think the LP switch is less out of the way than like a strats, plus its only three way so u always get the setting u want

I love that the switch is up at the top. When I play strats and guitars, where the switch is on the lower part, I tend to hit it when I strum hard. I flip them so easily, sometimes. Les Pauls, also, I think are an all around great sound. You can play a Les Paul in almost every style of music.

Just want to make it clear to the "stone hater" is that it's ok to dislike the song and guitar, we're just fooling around (except I still love Les Pauls).


. . . just incase this thread got taken the wrong way.

I dont disrespect any of his opinions (stone or les pauls) but Im just stating that there are a lot of opinionated people around here, and with his two opnions about the two major things around here (Dave and Guitars) its going to be hard for some people to take him seriously
