He proceeded to school me for about an hour on why that's like asking for an instrument that combines the best bits of a piano and a saxophone. At the time I thought he was exaggerating - they're both electric guitars, right? - but over the years I've come to understand that a Les Paul and a Tele are as different as an electric and an acoustic, or an acoustic and a banjo. Or - open your mind real wide, here - a Les Paul and another Les Paul. Or a Les Paul on a Monday and the same Les Paul on the following Friday.
What I'm saying is that an instrument is only capable of being itself in that moment. It doesn't make sense to ask it to be anything else. You either have a strat or you don't, but the absence of a strat shouldn't lead you to therefore expect stratness of a non-strat you do own.
Humans, men especially, have a bad habit of wanting all solutions to be permanent. The reality is however that problems constantly evolve. The guitar you think will fix everything this week will turn out to be incapable of what you want to do next week. That's why the perfect guitar is the one you don't have yet.
All right, I've got 2 of them, a hardtail and a trem G&L.
make do with just one of them. The SG feels a bit flimsy tuning wise and sometimes the strap position does annoy me if I’m stood up a lot. Don’t trust it to sustain as well, or give the same beefy low end and compression of a Les Paul.
Tbh I think a 24.75” tele with fat P90 esque pickups might be close to perfection for me though. The same solid and reliable feeling of a Les Paul with a bit more simplicity and stability. Hard to find a short scale one without going Warmoth/custom or expensive though.
There are a number of versatile guitars but they IMHO don't have character.
Of all my guitars my current goto is a gretsch.
Probably, that or a telecaster
Perfect guitar is not required, the truth is probably that almost any would actually do.
They are all very different though! Ish.... not a bad one in there!
My feedback thread is here.
Though the new "smoke orange" Setzer model looks *really* good.
Today, even though I love LPs and have 3 LP style guitars (out of a total of 7 guitars - which is ridiculous) I know that if I had to limit myself to just one electric it would hands down be my Tele every day of the week. You can rule the world with a Tele.
