A well playing guitar isn't all about the quantity of notes you can play on it, it's about how comfortable your hands are playing any notes on it, and how ergonimic the control layout is set up in the sense that it does not interfere with your playing.
For me, I find that the location of a strat's volume knob is right in the way of where my pinky sits, I don't care for the tight radius on the fretboard, and I don't like the tiny frets, nor the limited upper fret clearance on the lower cutaway, but I absolutely love the sounds provided by strats. My alternative, I prefer the older ESP Vintage Plus Pro, strat sounds in a players instrument.
It's all very subjective. I might like the Rusty Cooley guitar, even though he's not someone that I'd consider as one of my influences. I just think it's a well designed simple instrument that fits a particular need for players that have particular preferences.
