But, like anything else, it is all dependent on the make and the year. I mean most upper-end LP's have solid tone, but there are duds....and I have bought a few duds over the years. You're almost better off going with an Epiphone. Most Epiphone LP's have comparable tone for literally half the price.
I've always loved the classic Strat tone though. But when you're buying Fender products, you're taking a bigger risk than if you went with Gibson anymore....which really pisses me off.
If you get a Strat (which I highly reccomend you at least consider) make sure you buy American. The imports are extremely overpriced these days and the quality has been severly lacking over the last few years.
Also, Reverend Guitars is making some sweet stuff ....pretty evenly priced with killer tone to boot. I'd check them out.
