I currently have 2 strats,
1 is a MIM 57 reissue for the 60th anniversary of Fender fitted with 57/62 US custom shop pups & sounds nice
2 is a Squire CV 50's which now has Tonerider "City Limits" fitted (came with Daddy Oh pups that I thought were too bright) & sounds nice but it still sounds a lot "brighter" than the other one, yet when the Toneriders were in the MIM strat & got replaced by the 57/62 pups there was very little difference for the better in the sound.
I'm now thinking how much difference does the wood really make and................how much influence does the finish applied to the wood really have as well
Both these guitars are "Poly" finished but the Squire CV looks & feels better. Oh & the Squire has been thoroughly screened with copper foil as well (very neat job as well).
