In addition to five-way blade pickup switching, an S-1™ switch adds the bridge pickup to pickup switch positions 3, 4 and 5."

The guitar sounds amazing (exactly as a good old Strat should) and the satin nitro finish on the neck makes it very easy to play. The action is a bit too low if anything, but I was impressed with how low I could get it with no buzzing and decided not to change it...Here's a short video that shows these guitars in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45kNqw24CkUI've tried really hard to find any kind of blemish and the only thing I can spot is a mark above the pickguard that I've tried to photograph. This is barely visible unless you're really examining the guitar closely.Tweed case is in great condition and comes with all case candy (Strap, strap locks, cable etc. etc.).One thing worth mentioning in the spirit of full disclosure: around this time, the G&G cases Fender uses had more padding around the headstock area than needed and you have to turn the high E tuner parallel to the case to get the guitar in (ridiculous, right?). This obviously doesn't affect playability but makes me shake my head every time that I put the guitar back in the case. You can see what I mean on the pic of the headstock.Anyway, only selling as I always tend to go to my other Strats with more vintage specs. I got this guitar in a trade as I was interested in trying out the specs and, for all that it's a wonderful instrument, I haven't really bonded with it either way. Potentially open to trade ideas (I'm a real Strat nut in particular so try me out...).Ideally collection from Hull but happy to discuss courier or meeting. If you want any other details or pics or have any questions just let me know.Cheers, Joe
