I just got a new stratocaster pro 2007 model. I ordered it and after plugging it in it has an unusually dark sound. I have a Hot Rod 57 which I think has the same Samarian Cobalt Noiseless pickups, but the neck pickup on the Pro model is extremely different with way more bass. Is this normal or is this a problem with the new guitar. It seems oddly different from the other strats I have played? I like the other features of the guitar but the pickup sound is very different than I expected.
Thanks
Chad

I've read similar topics on these pickups not being as bright or some people not particularly caring for 'em because that had more of a muffled sound and not as bright and being more towards the lower end bass frequencies. I guess that's just the way they are.

Are they both maple necks?? Also remember these guitars are designed from the ground up for a different vibe. They have different tone circuits and even the bridge and saddles are different.
