If you play a particular genre of music you will found that one will fit perfectly for that tone but than trying that same guitar on some of genre of music you will never get the tone you are looking for. In my humble opinion the best way to resolve this is try as many guitars as you can and buy most of them.
Which One Is Better. February 23, Inventor Stratocaster : Leo Fender who also invented the bass guitar and the synchronized tremolo system.
Advice and endorsement came from guitarist Les Paul who also invented tape delay and multitrack recording. A large scratchplate screws directly to the front of the otherwise unbound and cosmetically unadorned body. This design was intended to be light, comfortable, and easy to cheaply mass produce.

Editor's Picks. Best Seller. Traditionally, the Les Paul is crafted from a solid Mahogany body with a carved maple cap. A mahogany neck is set glued into the body and is fitted with a Rosewood fretboard. These were designed to be built more quickly with parts that could easily be replaced if damaged.
As a result, the Strat is a much more simply constructed guitar. So, what sounds better, a Strat or a Les Paul? Unfortunately, this is another unanswerable one. The sound of a guitar is completely subjective and can be interpreted a different way by every single person that hears it.
Because of the construction, a Gibson Les Paul Standard with its more powerful humbuckers will out-sustain a Fender Stratocaster and just about anything else all day long, with no single coil-hum. The Fender Stratocaster needs work, patience, modifications, time, experimentation, and outboard gear to get it to sing, The Gibson Les Paul just sings.
As mentioned above. In other words, the Les Paul has a flatter radius neck, which becomes even flatter towards the higher frets. A flatter radius equates to a lower action and better playability.
You can tell the difference in quality. Now, look at the bewildering array of Fender and Squier Stratocasters. Yes, the American Pro series is the standard, but the difference in quality is much narrower here.
This says a lot. In summary, the Gibson Les Paul has better playability, construction, sustain, and tonal options than a Fender Stratocaster, but none of the problems. Next up: The Case for the Fender Stratocaster!
I will make this easy. I have been playing gigging and recording for over 50 years. I had a Gibson LP Classic for ten plus years which I really tried to like and played a fair amt for a few years but never really bonded with it. I hage played a number of other LP and they are simply not my thing. The premise behind this comparison is ridiculous. They are both world renowned designs that have stood the test of time.
Thanks for your side of it. Surely the whole thing is personal preference Basing an argument on what one individual prefers is immediately flawed.
Looser bends can mean the guitar can feel too loose and the player has difficulty for the fine tuning and micro intonation of their bends. Fenders are guitars, Gibsons are furniture.
