I think that a strat looks cool with lipsticks on. I have to say that overall I like the sound of the lipsticks in my Danelectro pawn shop U3 git better than those in my Squire CV 50. It can't quack like the strat, but there are some great colors in the various sounds you get from those pups (and maybe the hollow body). Surprisingly, I noticed recently that one of SRV's strats was fitted with a Dano lipstick (bridge, if I remember correctly). Nice quarter-swan neck, btw!
