Part of the issue with the Strats is the necks - I've got an SG Classic and a Baja Tele and have really grown fond of their chunky necks. The Strat necks are too weedy and I don't like the modern C profile - the combination causes my hand to cramp up when I try playing for an extended period. I did also try a 50s Classic Player Strat. It was better, but I would probably have to build a Partscaster to get my perfect Strat (with a nice boat neck!) Would love to extend my collection so it becomes Strat, Tele, SG and a Lester, though...!
