i love the LP's warm tone because play jazz and rock but i mostly play blues which i also love on the LP but for example can i get like a SRV sound out of it? im worried that i wont be able to get that glassy blues tone which i love but i dont know if i should i get a strat only for that purpose because i hate the sound of it for anything else... that glassy single coil tone for jazz isnt really nice is it? I read here [link removed] a good article about blues guitars. with that said whats the best blues guitar LP or strat?
Thanks.

The Les Paul is one guitar that I don't know too much about other than Jimmy Page and Zakk Wylde plays them. All I'm saying is that I haven't seen the Les Paul model used by the blues masters over the years. It didn't seem to be their blues instrument of choice although I know it's an all-time great guitar.

@ 80ra42
Kidding I presume?
(Hubert Sumlin, Mickael Bloomfield, Peter Green, Kirk Fletcher... Just to name few from the '50 up to now)

Hi Fenson!
Certainly a post for difficult to "80ra42" that's difficult to get your head around.
I think the "usual spam" just hits the mark.
