Joe, I find this statement intriguing. I have felt the same way on more than one occasion. Can you elaborate a bit more on what "playing stiff" means to you, and do you have any guesses on what might the cause of it?
Obviously I'm not speaking for Joe, but I have had similar experiences with conversions.
I think the biggest [but not only] reason is they aren't gigged with regularly and/or aren't set up well. I've had a few over the decades that were stellar. I've arguably had much better ones than GI.Paul, but that's an old love affair. It's magic. If you picked it up and played it briefly, you would "get it", even if it wasn't truly your taste. :jim
