Hi
Take a look on the net there are some really good guitar
building/repair sites that give you load of info.
You may find that just re-setting up the guitar will improve things
even on the cheaper stuff:

Have a look.
Re the pickup placement on strats this really does make a big
difference, and also the bridge set up.
cheers

I have found with my Strat that over time the nuts

overtighten) the guitar stays in tune noticeably better. I think it
might even have improved the sound.
I have had it for 5 years and did this once, but they were pretty
loose
by then. You would probably want to check this once a year or so.
