Could the Stratocaster be a digital instrument? Your exact comment is why a lot of people, even now, still like, and why audiophiles still buy, recordings on vinyl (which is why companies still press vinyl records). The effect of analog sound often has certain aspects which are lost when converted to digital. A lot of people say there is a certain shall we say, "feel" to analog over digital.
Also, seeing the Fender was made back during the height of the hand-made equipment days (1969 was very primitive as far as developing automation), maybe the Fender is a hand-built wood and the Strato is a machine constructed plastic and/or composite (either condition could be a factor which changes the characteristics of the sound)? Or could one of the two be a partial or full steel guitar?
