It will deliver bigger, fatter chords, and will cut through the mix more clearly than a traditional Strat pickup, all the while maintaining the magic and mojo that make a Strat sound like a Strat. Single notes are bold and loud, and solos truly sing.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe guitar also features an S-1 switch, so you have the ability to bring in the neck pickup in positions 2 \u0026amp; 4.  It's been a popular mod for Strat players for years, and here's one with it ready to go!\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eOther features include a 2 Point Custom Classic Strat tremolo, Schaller locking tuners, a bone nut, and white pearl pickguard.
