Has your Suhr got a split/tap for the bridge, KNNZ?

Is it not common for the bridge+mid position to only include 1 coil of the bridge humbucker?

It most likely is split on the Suhr.

My last Suhr had a clever thing whereby positions 2 and 4 were modified so they didn't sound dark / muddy (as they can with standard wiring).

Strat's and I have had a long distance relationship for some time now. We meet up every now and then and try to get it on, but sadly, the magic is no longer there.

Yeah, mine was a Squier Strat. It was my brothers and he neve played it. I used to play it before he got home from school so I didn't get into trouble! :lol:
Nothing to see here.

When I play my favourite Strat I immediately appreciate that it's particularly special. I can rotate the other guitars all day long then pick up the Strat and it's just another level (to me). You've had some epic Strats. Maybe you just need to buy another one. ;-) Then another. And one more just to be sure.

This is true for me also.

I think where you start from makes a lot of difference. You could remake this substituting in any of the other guitars as a starting point and it would be the perfect description of somebody on here.
