I was going to buy a CS 57 Les Paul jr. RI, but along the way the GT11 Stratocaster put the brakes on. What to do, what to do. I know the correct answer is to buy both, but….

Do you have other LP's?
Do you have other Strats?
Will the Strat fill a gap in your guitar collection?

5 LP Customs
1 Mex Strat bought from a kid for a hundred bucks
Had a ‘61 that I lost in my homeless years, in the early ‘70”s.
the problem is if I buy this one I’ll think about the other and visa versa.

I would lean toward the Strat.
The Jr. is a badass guitar but the Strat is a step up from the Mex Strat.
Let us know which way you go.

Ended up with a Tom Anderson T Classic. It was the correct decision.
