^^ Yeah, I'm in agreeance with all that. I have heard tapped coil LPs with vintage pickups and they get a decent thin-strat tone. My double fat strat has a JB/59 set in it... and I fused the the neck to the body the same way Gibson sets the neck of LPs.... and I use GHS Zakk Wylde Boomers... so it gets pretty dang close to an LP tone... albeit... it's not an LP therefor it won't sound just like an LP.

Strats and Les Pauls are apples and oranges... they're two different breeds... and they're made for two different types of players...
