Try a good strat with a maple neck w/ fat '54s or '57/'62 or the CS '69s pickups in it. It will sould great and should play great. I love the maple neck, set up with low action on any fender. I have found IMO that the pickups in a lot of MIM still sound okay, but leave a little something to be desired for me. (Please don't kill me, I like MIM guitars)

The best reason to play a Strat for me, is the ease of play, followed by the belly cut contour, which I need for comfort. #1 reason is that I love their sound! I love all my Gibsons and Fenders. But, I need a Gretsch!!!

YMMV.
