i get what your saying...i guess i was thinking more generally. strats...and most fenders for that matter...have a very bright sound. there is a distinctive twang in them. gibsons generally have a more bell like quality. the difference, to me, is distinctive enough to be able to point out whether someone is playing on a fender or a gibson (if those were your only 2 options).

i guess i just want to know how much these particular pickups blur that distinction and what qualities found in a strat are still around after the change.
