A stacked humbucker is going to give you the sound of a strat with humbuckers dropped into it, which in no way equates to a "Gibson sound". That is a pretty vague term in and of itself because there are many different styles, and thus tonal characteristics of Gibson guitars. Most Strat bodies are made from Alder which is a lighter and less dense wood than the solid mahogany that is used for most solid body Gibsons. If you're talking mainly about the Les Paul, which is a fair assumption, the body is significantly thicker than the Strat's thus further adding to the tonal difference between the two instruments. I'm sure GB will be by before too long to either, verify, add to, or tell me how full of **** I am.
