related question. I have an american strat, recent, standard. agree, sound is very unique. but I have not played it much. bought it new over a year ago. used to very heavy distortion. i would find that really did not work with the strat.
I describe it this way, and I think this is the case. with real heavy high pitched distortion, it seems that the overtones on a vibrating strings are not consonant with the base frequency of the vibrating string. I know that is the case, know enough about acoustics to know it. I just figured that was a strat for you, and it does not work well with such heavy distortion.
does this on all pickups. i tried changing strings, but new strings are cheap, as were the old strings. can't imagine how anythng could be wrong, other than it would be less pronounced with better strings maybe. or possibly a capacitor. but I figured, that is just a strat for you. they sound like they do, but you don't put as heavy high pitched distortion as you would with a humbucker. I just figure the strat what it is, accentuates this more than other guitars, but not sure.
any strat experts that can shed light here? i mean real strat experts, not speculators. I can speculate with the best of them, have enough of that. it is the overtones clashing with the base frequency of the string under above conditions, I know that.
