I 'm a lead guitarist and love to play in minor harmonic scales, and usually my solos are based there, and sometimes pentatonics. I play all kinds of Rock and Metal but my playing sounds like Malmsteens by whom i m influenced. I dont want to become Malmsteen but what fits me more my SG or a Fender Strat with scalloped fretboard?

I always preferred the fatter sound of the Gibson. That being said, I'd expect a serious guitarist to have more than one instrument on hand, and a Strat is essential to any proper collection.

My hazy memories of my rock band past and other accumulated knowledge would tend toward the Strat. Better sustain and clarity, for two reasons. You could also consider a Les Paul - best of both worlds.

The necks on these two axes are quite different feeling. I would say, whichever you are MOST comfortable with, when working your musical magic. That really is the deciding factor, more than anything else.

I have both and use each one to get different sounds and tones for different songs. Ya wanna be versitile. You don't want to be pigeonholed as a one trick pony.
