![]() On flipping to the Strat's bridge pickup through a nice low-powered valve combo, it's immediately noticeable that the tone seems a little more robust than we expected, which in part must be down to the new bridge block. Our only real reservation on a visual level is that the brown sunburst polyester finish applied to the alder body isn't the most attractive or vintage authentic of hues, and the sensuous, timeless curves of the Stratocaster body seem just a touch squarer and the guitar a little less svelte in this incarnation.Įlectronically, there are no surprises, and the expected configuration of five-way pickup selector blade switch, master volume and individual tones for the neck and middle single-coils. The ball ends of the strings are now anchored by a larger, higher mass bridge block to aid sustain and beef up the vintage-style synchronised vibrato. Fender's modern 'C' neck profile is a decent palm full, with playability as a whole benefiting from fatter, flatter medium jumbo fretwire that facilitates easier bends and feels modern, while retaining enough Fender character. ![]()
