There are a number of things that affect the sound of your guitar. Even within a brand, different models sound quite different, like Fender Telecaster & Fender Stratocaster. Then there is the type of pickups, type of material the guitar is made from and even the shape of it, what effects you apply, what amp you use and on and on. I personally find the Strats ubiquitous, so I would never purchase one heheh (*puts on Flame Retardant Underwear*). JK JK JK! :)
