I vote both. It seems like decent Fenders can often be had for less than decent Gibsons (ignoring the Squire/Epiphone brands) so it might be easier to start out with a Strat or Tele, then get an LP or SG later on.

I used to like Strats until I realized Yngwie Malmsteen plays them exclusively.

Okay, i was kidding, I've never liked Strats.

I am solidly on the Fender side these days but a just world would provide both, along with some others.

Just ribin' ya, Jack-be-quick. When I saw Les Paul last, at the songwriter's hall of fame event last year, the guy in the backup band was playing a Strat during the intro as Les walked on stage to join in (even though he had a les Paul there as well!), and Les sent him the same stare that the Italian icedancer gave the other day. But it sounded great.
