yup, the ibanez have humbuckers, which helps in producing the heavier sound. strats are not really designed for heavy stuff.
remedy: get a hotter pickup, like the above suggestion. sound wise, yes, pickup and body have certain effect to the sound. no, upgrading to an expensive pickup won't make your guitar sound like an expensive guitar. |

QUOTE(kuance @ May 5 2009, 03:03 PM) sorry ur explanation are just too technical and i dun understand what ur "dark sounding" mean... ok ok, in layman's term anyway, what if my squire strat change a good seymour duncan pick up into it? definately will sound much better than the original squire rite?   ; yes changing to a better pickup will make your guitar sounds better, but it will NEVER sound like a real fender. as for heavier sounding, yes getting a "hotter" pickup will make your guitar sounds a little heavier. |

QUOTE(xMika @ May 6 2009, 04:16 PM) Strats are built for producing a crunchy & jangly sound. "crunchy" is more for guitars with humbucker. strats are more towards "clear & twangy". |
