Strat tone from something other than a Strat?

Godin SD22?

I have a Godin SD where I changed out the neck and middle PUs for some JV Squire strat PUs. Before the change TBH the tone was not great. But afterward, suddenly I have a guitar with a 24.75" scale that will get strat tones in pos 1,2,3 and 4, thanks to the switch which splits the bucker in combination with the middle PU. It still has the 'bucker raunch in pos 5.

 

I'd thoroughly recommend this route if you like the shorter scale and skinny neck. Just be ready for a PU swap (Some of the GFS premium Alnicos would be great in there too).

If I was looking specifically for 2 and 4, I would really only go for something with three singles, but that's just me.

I had that SG3. It was horrible. I tried to like it but couldn't. It just sounded crappy I'll take a MIM Strat any day of the week. G&L Legacy Tribute is nice too. Nothing else nails the Strat sound but a Strat. I have Nashville Tele. Sounds Stratty but not like the real thing.
