I’ll agree with you so that both of us are wrong.
Kind of interesting but not $16,000 interesting.
I do ... my "MIM" highly-modified Strat. And it does it all without a drawer full of interchangeable pickups.Ask yourself, if I had one guitar that did it all, would I be happy?............I bet the answer is no.
You're one of the happiest guys I know!I do ... my "MIM" highly-modified Strat. And it does it all without a drawer full of interchangeable pickups.
But I have 15 others as well. But if I could only keep one, it would be that Strat and I would be pretty happy.

I decided that I was the cause of the bad sound. My own lack of skill. It wasn't the guitars nor the amps. I needed to learn to play better. I needed to practice every day, and find meaningful challenging lessons to work. Finally I could get my sound to improve.
You can also blame it on your choice of pick, unless you finger pick, then it would go back to the guitar.Don't jump to conclusions. It could be the cables you are using. At least, that's what I decided the issue was in my case. I'm still looking for the ultimate cable that makes me sound good
This guitar makes me happier than ... pick any analogy you like.You're one of the happiest guys I know!
Honesty is tough ... especially about one's self. And Cap'nDenny's take I am quoting here is step #1. First you have to have your own technique and style down good and solid. Until then, no amp or guitar will "make you better". Getting to that point isn't easy. If you are still trying to figure out how to set up and use a tremolo, you aren't there yet. If you are still trying to figure out what string gauge is best, you aren't there yet. If you are still fussing about fretboard radius and different frets, you aren't there yet. If you are still asking others for their tone settings instead of simply being able to dial in the best tone your amp is capable of, you aren't there yet. And so many other things. But once there, there are differences between guitars and amps, and some of those differences are major.When I used to tell people I had a half dozen guitars, they would ask why? I explained that I wasn't happy with how I sounded. I thought it was just a bad guitar. But after 6 of them I finally figured out the real problem. It wasn't the guitar that was at fault. I just needed a better amp!
After I accumulated a dozen amps and repaired and auditioned 50 more, I finally figured out it wasn't the guitar amp's fault either.

That lasted a couple weeks, but practicing is too hard. So I decided it was the guitar again, and soon I will go back to the amps.

That's chump change for a man of your means...The guitar the OP has in his video is utterly amazing. I would love to have one. But 16 grand is WAY out of my world of even remote possibilities.
You just need a good pedal!When I used to tell people I had a half dozen guitars, they would ask why? I explained that I wasn't happy with how I sounded. I thought it was just a bad guitar.
