Not your traditional Strat:
This is my magical unicorn of a Stratocaster. Most collectors are not interested in CBS era gear from Fender, but to me, this is perfect. The neck is thin and comfortable. The tone is superb. The pickups are well balanced and the mid boost pot is amazing. (I see why Clapton insisted this be in his signature models going forward from this period.)
Preferred Settings + Usage:
To me, the biggest perk is the ability to cut from one pickup to another with the press of a button. I am able to completely cut off the sound like I had a kill switch, or I can turn any pickup on with any other in any combination, impossible with the 5 position switch.
