Anyway, after another couple of hours, I think it might be staying.  It's a lot more complicated than the Strat as the sounds you get can get aren't so obvious, but when you get there, they're OK.  I'm warming to it.

The bridge pickup, tone full up, a bit of overdrive and some echo and, I have to admit, it sounds really good.

What I don't get is what it's doing to my fingers.  It's got 9-42s, same as the Strat, but it seems much harder to play, BUT, it is making me play better.

Like me, you need to know it to get the best out of it.............

Sounds to me like you need to set it up with 10s and then to just spend some time with it. No 2 guitars are ever the same and if the nuences are off you might want to try different pickups until you find the right fit for you. 

I might try 8s.  No way am I putting 10s on it.
