Ben slowhand tu n'est pas obligé de me croire, personnellement j'en ai rien à faire mais remettre publiquement en doute ce que je poste c'est à deux doigts de me traiter de menteur ...
Les grattes les plus légères ne sonnent pas mieux ... déjà c'est subjectif donc ce que chacun ressent reste personnel et ne peut être imposé comme vérité ultime mais je connais quelques grands joueurs de strato réputés qui sur leur propre forum affirment que lorsque qu'ils testent un ensemble de strato, généralement ils repartent avec la plus légère du lot.

Scott about his new pink Suhr stratocaster :
My new guitar is my favorite of all the guitars John's made for me. So after saying that, I feel like I should write a little about guitars in general - there's nothing on TV and I'm too tired to practice. (Today was my daughter's 6th birthday party.)
I hear a lot of talk about pickups, bridges, tuners, and every other piece of guitar hardware, but here's something to think about... Every time John makes a guitar for me, he makes three, and lets me choose the one I like the most - the other two are sold to dealers. He makes the guitars from the same batch of wood (bodies, neck, fretboard), the same exact pickups with 100% accurate specs (not like the wildly inconsistent pickups on the old strats), same exact bridges, tuners, pots, wiring, action, pickup heights, ect. John's done this for me at least four times, and every time, all three guitars sound completely different from each other. Of course, the reason is the wood. Wood is unpredictable - a guitar from the best luthier in the world (and John definitely qualifies as one of them), will still sound like the wood it's made from. It's not just the body wood, but also the combination of the neck and body which plays a big part in the sound. One thing I respect about Suhr is that they won't use a body if it's too heavy. That point alone is a major reason their guitars sound so much better than the competition.
I'm looking for a big punchy low end with good definition, sweet sounding thick mids, and a top end that isn't too bright, which comes from a light body. I play way up on the high E string, and the guitar with the fattest notes up there is usually the one I choose. Almost every time, it's the lightest of the three. Even though the three guitars always sound different from each other, I can't say I've ever heard a bad one - they're always a good weight and have great tone. Most of the guitars I pick up in stores are extremely heavy. The Fender I used on Tore Down House wasn't a great guitar - it was heavy and had a weird top end until I put V60's in it, and that made a huge difference.
My point is, good electronics and hardware will greatly improve the sound of a guitar, but the heart of the guitar is the wood, and for now, that's more luck than science. John, being the ultimate guitar nerd/scientist, is working on ways to measure the properties of wood which will enable him to more accurately determine what a guitar will sound like before it's made. He's even working on measuring the frequencies of necks to determine which ones will sound the best on which bodies. I find this kind of stuff very interesting, but I'm a nerd too. If I didn't play for a living, I'd ask John for a job.
Je partage cette avis et je n'ai pas attendu de lire ça pour l'avoir expérimenté mais ce poste m'a conforté dans mes impressions ...
Alors je ne prétends pas pour autant avoir raison - je n'en vois d'ailleurs pas l'intérêt - et l'avis de Scott n'est que l'avis de Scott cependant je peux affirmer que je partage totalement son point vue.
