Hopefully somebody can help me. I'm looking for a guitar with a strat-like sound (single coil, bright sound), but I just get bored looking at strats--they all look the same to me. I also don't like telecasters for what it's worth. I heard about the Godin Session line and from what I can hear on YouTube, they seem to sound very similar to the strats--and I think I like the look of them a little more.

Can anybody tell me if the sound on their bridge pickup (the humbucker) sounds close in comparison to the single coil bridge pickup on the strat? Obviously I'm referring to when the tone knob is pulled out to split the coils.

Also, are the Godin guitars significantly heavier? Not sure I want a very heavy guitar.

Thanks for the help, I can't get my hands on one where I live.
