So... yeah, Gibson players are much better.

I had that same problem with my strat....I simply took out the middle tone knob, which is useless in my book, and moved the volume knob down one hole, so the top hole where they put the volume knob to close the strings is empty...eliminated that problem..

Although I own a strat, I rarely play it, just depends on the sound I'm after....I actually prefer the fat sounds of Les Paul's, I just haven't saved up the money to buy one yet...
