I know that there are a myriad of models and vintages. I know that any comparison is very subjective, and that the ultimate choice would, of course, be dependent upon what the guitar player needs in terms of tonal quality, features etc., and what and how they play. I know that the apples and oranges argument applies, nevertheless, what would you say is/are the distinctive characteristic(s) of the models you've played. What do you like most about each or any of these iconic guitars, and what do you think that they lack (if anything) compared to the others? You might be surprised how much you can learn on Wikipedia about the Gibson Les Paul, the Fender Stratocaster, and the Fender Telecaster, but I figure that members of this community would be the real experts...
