„Współczesny” Stratocaster z przetwornikami w konfiguracji HSS oraz dwuśrubowym mostkiem tremolo.

Gitara wyposażona w przełącznik S-1, za którym osobiście nie przepadam, gdyż cieżko połapać się „na ucho”, w której konfiguracji aktualnie jesteśmy… ;-)

Fender S-1 switching wprowadził w 2003 roku. Informację na tem temat znalazłem w tym artkule.

Najbardziej w pamięci utkwiły mi dwa cytaty:

The tricky thing about explaining S-1 switching is that it does different things on different instruments.

oraz:

…it has done different things at different times

:-D

W każdym razie, najważniejsze jest to, że gitara została w pełni wyregulowana :-)
