Looks like David is using lace Sensors in that Stratocaster to kill some of the noise....

He is, and I have a Strat built exactly like that one as well as my Black Strat Gilmour clone...

I'm playing a Stratocaster again as a main guitar, but it's more like this tonally:

Haha, I bet we all have our own definition of what it means to properly wield a Stratocaster. For me it will always be K.K. Downing:

Ok, that was frickin awesome... but... I have always associated KK with the Flying V's. Looks and sounds like KK's Strat had regular single coils, too.

IMHO, and personal preference, for ultimate Strat players using the ultimate Strat tones is:
5: Robert Cray
4: Ronnie Earl
3: Mark Knopfler
2: David Gilmour
1: SRV

Sorry... No humbuckers allowed...

I've truly (honestly) always wished he had played something else. His sound is a mess to me and as a great a player as he was it just seems lost and meandering with a Strat. In the recordings I have seem of him with Gibsons his sound is much more concise and to the point. I know I will get flamed for that, but in his case I think it was the wrong tool for the job.

Here's a guy that has the right tool for the job (to me):

Typical 8-hole pickguard??

 

[Leedspool]

The screw is forward of the 5 way switch screw

I had a look on Gilmourish and it’s a Vintage Reissue 57 with EMG pickups.

So many places for screw holes and guitar mods ehh !!

Which Lace sensors are in it? I have 3 Lace Strats and they have different colors ones that have different characteristics. I think 2 of them are 3 silvers ones and the last guitar has a blue, gold and silver, it’s 97 Strat Ultra.
