And JM knows it that's why he never mentioned all the top players in the world who play the 3rd best guitar 
PS Slicer et al, how can you say I only mentioned two virtuosos? Hendrix, Vaughan, Beck, Clapton and Malmsteen are all nenowned. Plus if you seen Slash on the tele trying to cover Hey Joe with a fag in his mouth you'd realise by how awful he played that he's more of a poser than a guitarist. That's why he chose the second best guitar.
Strat wins again. It's better than Phelps |
What the fuck are you
on about?
Seriously, if you think that Strats are the best, that's fine, it's your
opinion and you are entitled to it. It's not fact.
And, where did I say that you only mentioned two? Slash is better than just a shite guitarist. Not insanely mind-blowing, but who gives a shit. A song that I dig like fuck is easily on par with the work of any virtuoso guitarist. I like both simple and complex arrangements, doesnae mean one is better than the other though.

What the guitarist plays is a personal thing. What they feel most comfortable with. Not because they think it's better than all the other guitars...

Fuckin word.
I've got a:
Fifty years of Fender Squier Strat
Epiphone Goth Explorer
Jackson PS2
Schecter C1 Plus
Ibanez VBT700
Inanez RG350MDX
ESP LTD H300 (like an early 2000ish one, older style head stock)
All totally different in their own way, ALL pretty neat guitars, ALL played for some fairly different styles/parts.
And *I* prefer most to the Strat.
