[Why the Gibson Les Paul Is Better Than the Fender Stratocaster]

Apples and Oranges...Love my Les Pauls (I have 3), but I also love my Stratocasters (I have 3 of those as well). Different sounds...look at many of the masters though...they go back and forth...Beck, early Clapton, EJ, Joe Walsh, Joe B., etc. (although I don't ever recall seeing Jimmy Page playing a Strat).

[Problems with G-Force Tuners]

I LOVE my Gibsons, but G-Force is a gimmick. I don't like gimmicks on my guitars.

[ES-175 Bigsby Install]

Don't do it!! Buy a Gretsch instead. Most of them are relatively inexpensive, great guitars, and have Bigsby's already installed. Sorry, but an ES 175 with P-90's is a very nice guitar...don't modify it or you may regret it....
