Use a compressor with a short attack and long release setting.
It'll keep your leads at an even volume and as the note fades out, it automatically turns up the volume.

Seems more like a gear related problem - you might get more answers here (I moved the thread).
There are only two important things in life - There's music and theres girls, not necessarily in that order....

I used brass machined to fit snugly, but even a piece of closely fit hardwood would do the trick. My JapStrat '62 Re-issue really came alive after doing this.[/font]

You could also try one of those fat finger things.....they just add weight to the headstock.

Might not be the most popular ideas, but, make sure your string height is set high enough that you are not fretting out on the upper frets, make sure your pick-up height is low enough that you aren't magnetically dampening the strings, these are common ailments with Strats...............
