Topic: Im not getting on with my Musicman :(

So after having bought a Musicman Silhouette  Special HSS with Piezo a couple of years ago I'm slowly falling out with it...

I bought a Bonamassa Studio late last year and the sustain and fat neck are lovely and although its a totally different guitar it makes the musicman seem a bit flat and sterile.

So im unsure what to do as I still need a Strat guitar for certain things but should i go out and try a load of stratocaster's with fatter necks and possibly better sustain and sell the Musicman...

It cost me £1950 so could sell and get a decent 2nd hand Strat I'm guessing for that but the Piezo is a nice feature as well as noise cancelation circuitry which I'm guessing i wouldn't get on a standard Fender Strat...

Thoughts?

Not if you go with any of the standard models.  You could find a special run Fender deluxe of some kind MIM very cheap with noiseless pickups or go for the american deluxe model

You could put some kind of piezo system on your strat.
