Finally tamed the brightness in this strat build i've been fighting for over a year... raising the action and the right pups (SD and chopper neck) made a HUGE diff. So did going with a 250k tone pot. (slight diff) Problem is, comparing this to other guitars i have, there is this wah like quality on the higher notes and a tin like snap.. almost tele like feel which i don't want. I am not so quick to cite maple fretboards as the offenders because i had a charvel with a maple neck and it did not do this. Could it be the fret material or is this just the inherent tonal characteristic of this piece of alder? In other words.. is it a dud that we often talk about not bothering to fight with and just selling on ebay because it is not to my ear.This is my very last attempt for this guitar. I just love the look of the Koa top, hard to part with if it can be salvaged.
