I'm a Tele guy, through an through (no, the board handle isn't just clever)
my biggest bitch about the Strat isn't anything described above - they play great, sound great, and when they're intonated properly, you beat them lime a $10 whore and they will stay in tune...
But that volume/gain knob...is in the WORST position on the body.
I get to flailing away, and -whoop!- brushed my pinky against that knob, and the tone is gone...or there's no sound altogether.
That being said, Strats rule, (the bridges do suck, though - my Tele has a six-saddle through-body) especially for live work, because they take so much abuse.
Schecters...meh.
They're like PRS to me - way overhyped and pretty generic, at the end of the day. I mean, they LOOK cool, and they're pretty, and they play nice...but they don't have a very "edgy" sound. They're like cookie cutter guitars to me. No personality.
