Hi guys, this is my first post here, so please move this thread if it's currently in the wrong area!

I have the chance of trading my Gibson LP Standard (2015) for a 54' FSR American Vintage Reissue "Thin Skin" Stratocaster.

What do you think about this? I assume this forum is kind of biased when it comes to Gibson vs Fender, but just leave the brands for once and focus on the guitars.

Are there any cons you can think of?

Not a good swap, IMO. Your Les Paul is worth a lot more.

Noting that I'm not a Les Paul player, being some sort of light guitar loving whimp, but if it is only $200 difference I would consider it.

The FSR Strat looks pretty spectacular value for money to me and of faultless specification for my taste. If I was specifying a guitar from scratch that would pretty much be it.

As with all Strats (vintage aside) it is unlikely to hold its value, where the Les Paul might, but after 10 years of playing that Strat is going to look awesome (as well as light guitars I like battered guitars).

Best just have both. :-)
