I play a strat.
If you are using compression like any other effect you are probably doing it wrong, subtle is the name of the game. Set it for subtle interaction and play through it for a few days, then turn it off....That's when you notice what it did and how you'd incorporated it into your playing.
Of course if you use mainly some form of clipping/overdrive/distortion then you already have some compression in your sound and so adding more may not be the best thing. My favourite overdriven and compressed guitar sounds tend to come from Alan Murphy where the note attack is pulled in but the bloom and sustain is the feature you notice.
