  Jake there's a few problems with your list. Famous guitar players-Sammy Hagar and Billie Joe Armstrong? Jeff Beck and Eric Clapton switched to Strats early in their careers and have played them ever since. Jimi Hendrix was dead before Hard Rock cafes opened. Chicago didn't open until 1978. Anyway, my vote -- both of them.

  Les Paul. By far a Les Paul. Expensive? Yes? Worth every penny? Hell Yeah! I own a Gibson Les Paul Studio and I love it. Don't get me wrong, my dad has a strat and it's awesome, but it cant even compare to my Les Paul, even if he wont admit it. You would pay twice as much for a Les Paul than you would for a strat, but that old saying comes to mind "You get what you pay for."
