Do you like the Sheraton? Do you need a Bigsby? The answer to those two questions should point you one way or the other...

The guitar has an importance, but the amp and your playing are more important.
For example I recorded this with a fender strato (so pickups are singlecoils) whereas the sound is pretty powerful. :)
I think if you are satisfied by your guitar you shouldn't try to change it. ;)
