I lost most interest in Clapton when he switched to the Strat. On the other hand, Jeff Beck switched and still amazes me to this day.
They are not for everyone, some cant tame the ugly sounds they are capable of.
They also have to be well set up. I guess that goes for any guitar though.
I love em, I even have some with humbucker pickups.
yeah Beck was great. Didn’t he use a Les Paul?
