The strat thread was making me think about this:
When you pick a new guitar, do you like to find one that perfectly fits you, or do you like to find one that pushes you to grow into it and learn it?
I've had my strat since 1996 and it's been my #1 ever since, but I didn't pick it because it was the perfect one that fit me just right. At the time I picked it because the store clerk told me the Telecaster I was holding at the time was a guitar for country guys, and rockers all played strats. I liked rock, so I picked up a black strat and took it home. The reason it's my #1 now and forever is because that guitar forced me to learn all it's tricks and nuances. I learned everything I know on that guitar, and as I've grown as a player it's been the tool that's right there next to me. Now it feels like such a part of my playing that I prefer it over any other guitar in the world.
