just brought my fender back home from the store. Luckily for me guitar tech lowed the action just a little bit, but not too much, since he also was mentioning that if he would had low the action too much.. then the guitar would play like ****. I think now my strat is more comfortable to play and I don't notice a big change in the tone, actually I can't hear much difference, at least for now. So that s a good compromise to me.
Johnny Johns, I think the gibson might be more comfortable to play , and maybe it could have a warmer sound, but the stratocaster is more versatile and it's just perfect to play anything. I just have the strat in my heart.. watching old videos of mark knopfler and steve ray vaughan.. well, time to go, I m gonna play all night ;)
