Fender Stratocasters (solid-body) have a unique psychedelic sound (top pick-up, lots of distortion and reverb) that I've never tired of. The sound is resonant, sophisticated, and versatile. I know the bridge, neck, electronics, and geometry are major factors. But still, until I play a stone-bodied Stratocaster that "sounds right", I'll bet on wood. Too bad that electric guitars lend themselves so well to meaninglessly aggressive performances.
