Led: I will be sure to tell ya =), you guys have helped me more than you can imagine!

Now if I could just figure out which one to get. I like the idea of the Tom Delonge because I love punk (i.e. Sum 41 =) ) but I want to be able to play other types of music at times. My twin bro is getting a Tama Rockstar Drumset, two of my friends are getting bass guitars, and my other friend is getting a guitar also , so we are going to try to play songs when we get decent (should be alot of fun!) =). Anyways, can I make a standard Stratocaster sound like a Tom Delonge and still be able to tune the pickup etc? I listened to the standard Stratocaster on Fender's website but it sounds like they are just going through the notes and not playing what the guitar could really do which doesnt give a real good idea fo what it sounds like =). Here are link to the two Sum 41 videos with the guitars that have the sound I really want, In Too Deep: http://www.mtv.com/sitewide/videoplayer/index.jhtml?vid=13993 and Fat Lip: http://www2.islanddefjam.com/av/go.ram?num=1459075886
If you guys could take a look at these videos and listen to the guitars in them and tell me what I could get that would sound like that I would really apprecaite it =). Also does the Stratocaster sound like that or could it be made to sound like that and if so which one (i.e. Standard. American Standard etc..). I really really really want one that sounds like the ones in those videos =)! Thanks again guys and sorry for the long reply hehe.
