That guy in the back with the PRS might be able to do the pipes thing with an EH pedal. Then they can have more beer.

Definitely features followed by looks. I have a Tremonti with low output pickups put in. I see it as the perfect all rounder. It has good looks too. Lighter than a les Paul, better neck with the wide thin 25” scale and better high fret access. Sounds like a les Paul when I want it too but...

Yeah, I guess you can up your gauge to control overbends. Maybe SRV was doing that. There's also his signature syncopated rhythm style which may yield best result with thicker strings. Who knows, if he chose to play closer to the bridge with less shoulder he might play 9s today?

So I'm thinking 9s and 8s are naturally less prone to string breakage given the same bend than 10s or 11s. Might check your tuning. If your tuned up a note and additionally go for a bend.. Snap!

I have a McCarty scale neck and would normally go with 10s. That said I dig flat wounds and GHS has a set of stainless steel flats but only have 9s & 11s. 12s too but they skip 10s for some reason. So it’s gotta be 9s for me. If Gibbons and BB can get great tone with 8s -9s on a McCarty...

I prefer the Santana headstock. It’s classy and subtle. The pointy one looks dated to me. 80s big hair rock. The Santana is obviously timeless based on a traditional guitar. A spade shape might be best for the 24 DC.
