I've recently bought a strat-style guitar to complement my LP-style one - both are quality items and the problem is me. Help me out guys/girls if you can...
With the LP, I tend to place my wrist on the bridge when picking and I'm as happy as can be. The problem is that I can't seem to put my hand anywhere on the strat without it either: feeling uncomfortable, picking right above the middle pickup or constantly muting the E/A strings. Also, the guitar has a floating trem so I can't replicate the LP style so well
I know some advocate a floating hand position but my accuracy is way down when I do this - I need a 'loose anchor' position if that makes sense. Please feel free to suggest approaches or post up links to useful videos before I sell the bloody (lovely) thing

I gig a strat, tele, les paul, sg shaped guitar (yamaha superflighter) plus a couple of others that are abit odd shaped and I've never had a problem swapping between guitars.

I have both a LP and a Strat, and alternate every so often. Sometimes every week, or sometimes get into the groove on one then swap over t'other, say, 2-3 weeks later. Then have a stint before changing over again.
An evening of practice and beer awaits!!!
Now, if I have a 2016 Mexican Standard Strat can I get any cover? or does it have to unique to this guitar? any ideas where? thanks
