Bit of a dilemma, and yes I totally understood this is a first world problem.
I have multiple S/S/S s-style guitars. Each with their own sounds. One if ultra traditional 50's strat-like, another has 60s tone + a humbucker bridge, another for more Pink Floyd-type sounds. My main strat which I play most often has some custom-wounds I got a few years ago. It sounds great but very p90 like. Not enough spank and transparency for my liking, especially the neck. When I gigged it was great because of the extra mids, but now that I don't gig and listen to it in a home studio I miss that attack and definition. It kinda sounds like Gilmour with a mid boost.
Question is: since it sounds different should I just keep it that way, since other guitars fill that void? Or buy new pickups (in which case all my strats will sound similar)?
