I bought my first Strat. The Performer series. Lowest price American model. I left the .9's on it; perhaps should have gone to 10's. I played Les Pauls and nothin' else for 15 years. Any thoughts.......I am mixed, jury is out...It's nice to have choices but I think I am a Les Paul person. Again, I would like to hear from others that may have this model and/or playing a Strat after years of Gibson...
