In this article companion to Neal Schon's Premier Guitar Rig Rundown, the article mentions Schon's "relic’d Fender Custom Shop Stratocaster." This is go-to guitar for the song "Lights," and it has a reversed bridge pickup and headstock.
moreI have the heavy relic version. It has a U neck profile with 9.5" radius fretboard. It plays great and sounds amazing. I restrung it with Jimi's gauge strings. It takes a while to get used to the low E being so light. I own several guitars and still own a showcase edition les paul and several incarnations of the wolfgang along with a tele. This start is my favorite, period. There are certainly easier guitars to play, but none so rewarding.
