It's the classic/traditional thing that people buy in to. He spent years improving the strat with the musicman sabre, which was the first guitar he designed after selling fender but it didn't really catch on. Every aspect was meant to be an improvement over a strat. People never seem to want new ideas with guitars. Just the old stuff in abundance.
G&L are better for the most part but not the same. I can only think of a few guitarists who have used them. That might be another reason, just not in people's conscious?
