Welcome to Page 4.
(It's just too good a topic to let this thread die.)

I agree about the thin sound of strats and I can't gig one to save my life. Always feels like there's something missing somehow...frequency-wise.

But I do have a cheapish one at home for noodling on.
I went thru loads of pickups for it (before accepting that I just can't gig a strat...teles only for me) and I've ended up with a cheap set of Mighty Mites, which happen to get me bang-on the tones of Rubber Soul....which the Beatles recorded mainly with their new strats.
That's reason enough alone for me to keep the thing now.
