ilovegibsons Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Consider this: The LP was originally made by a Jazz Guitarist as a Jazz guitar, while the strat was made as a rock guitar. Nowadays, those positions have been reversed. Anyone have any thoughts as to why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

surfpup Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 I'm guessing 13 year olds have a different perception of what constitutes jazz? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRV-Zeppelin Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Strat for blues. And rock. Unless you think that Joe Bonamassa is Jazz... although I have seen SGs used for jazz. (weird, I know.) The LP wasn't originally built as a "jazz guitar" per se. It was build as a solid-body electric guitar in coordination with a jazz guitarist. If there is such thing as a "jazz guitar" it's either a Tele or an L-5. Probably an L-5. Maybe an L-4. Hell, I don't know. I want coffee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikko18 Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 actually the strat was origionally built for country western stuff not rock, imagine that. and both LPs and strat are used for all different styles of music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketman Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Yeah let's not confuse jazz with blues please.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikko18 Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 i used to do that to. i thought that this recording of peter frampton doing a cover of "while my guitar gently wheeps". i thought it was jazz when it was actually really bluesy. lets not get country confused in there with jazz and blues.

SRV-Zeppelin Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 By the way, Nikko... If Tim is 30 right now (which I think he is) then he'll be alive and well when the 100th anniversary R9 comes out... and I'm sure he'll beat you to buying one.

Thundergod Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Strat for jazz? :) Never seen ... oh wait.. yes, I've seen a strat on a jazz recital... ONCE!:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_HEWC Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 I'm sure it is quite possible to play jazz on a strat, it's no less of a guitar than the les paul in terms of versatility and playability. Still I prefer Les Pauls though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
