hi
I have a custom shop 63' strat and really like how it plays.... My main guitar is a jap strat with EMG humbucker and 2 X SA single coils (I also have a mid range boost). On any lead setting the jap strat sounds huge and fat.
I would love to use the custom shop, I'm not expecting it to ever be big and fat like the jap, but no matter what I do with it, it always sounds thin and weak with no balls to the solo sound and certainly no clarity to the notes. Is there any particular amp or setting recommended to help me get a bit closer the the jap (without swapping out the pickups.
