Haha! Look, from a simple engineering point of view, nothing beats a Telecaster.
However, nothing beats a 335 as long as Roy Orbison is playing it ;-) |

It's more pronounced for me switching between electric and acoustic. (Noticeable but no big deal).

Hmm. Anyone else found this? Personally, I find it more pronounced switching from acoustic to electric. If I have to play Zither in the middle of a concert, that really screws me up. Don't know why. |

Wow... Maybe I am alone. I have never even thought of where my strumming/picking was relative to a pickup. By that I mean I never worried if would my pick hit a pickup. I guess I do not dig as deep as some others. And yes, before someone misreads this, I am acutely aware of where my strumming or picking is affects my tone and I use the pickup switches to augment my positioning to 'milk out' certain tones.
To me, switching between a Les Paul and a fender has much more to do with scale length and string tension. As someone already mentioned, this scale length issue gets more pronounced above the 12th fret. Gibson's shorter scale also means less string tension and can feel better for string bending. As for me. I have Gretsch, Gibson, Fender, Martin, Taylor and rotate them regularly. I never seem to have an issue fluidly moving between them. Just my two cents.

Somewhat related to this thread:
Mark Knopfler likes Strats, but also wants custom ergonomics and the ability to radically change the output sound (to"Les Paul") with one switch. This became the basis of one of the Pensa or Pensa-Suhr models. Some info here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pensa_Custom_Guitars |
