Have you ever really been GASing for a guitar,

[Oinkus]

With my Strat having HSH and a 25" scale you would think it doesn't do traditional Strat sounds at all.Wired series/split/parallel with a blend pot it goes from a close LP sound to a good bright single coil. Neither are exactly perfect but they are all good sounds.Might be the Tom Anderson pups helping a lot also? The thing about guitars , you have to sit around and play with them for awhile sometimes. It isn't always pick it up and instant bonding to an instrument.Random stupidity...
