I confess that my dislike of Strats was formed long before I really became knowledgeable about modding. One of these days I must get a Strat and try to defile it properly hehe.

I am with you I always hated Strats until I owned one. I found the Black one at a bus stop one night. It was a SSS Tuxcedo, ugly and not functional for what I needed. Once I got it dialed into my needs I fell in love with it and built the sunburst Strat.
A friend gave me this a few years back. I swapped out the ceramic pickups and smoothed the rough fret ends. It now has a vintage wind A3 in the neck and bridge along with an RWRP A5 in the middle. Interesting sounds in the notch positions.

Here's MY Swiss Army guitar...
DiMarzio DP188 neck,
SD-that-I-can't-remember middle,
I believe it's a JB Jr. bridge,
Ghost piezo saddles, controlled by a gutted Fishman preamp,
blend pot between the Fishman and the magnetics, standard 5-way blade (boring, I know), Fender S1 in the volume knob which switches the coils in the bridge and neck pups between series and parallel, front tone pot is a master low-pass, and the rear pot is a master high-pass, all pots are 250k, staggered Sperzel tuners, which didn't quite do the trick, so now there are 2 roller string trees...
