The issue is localised to your guitar setup.

Is this the new Strat you bought?

Suggest you try disassembling and then reassembling your guitar and isolating the sound that way. Also, it'll be a great way for you to familiarise yourself with your guitar.

Strats are hardy instruments. They're pretty easy to disassemble and reassemble. Its always good to have a go and see what makes your instrument tick.
Should you have concerns, show your Strat to a fellow guitar player.
