This thing plays and sounds so nice.The locking tuners(brushed metal,do not like) and roller nut keep it so in tune,even divebombing and yanking up on the trem arm like a madman doesn't affect the tuning.I would like to keep it but with 3 strats in the stable already it has to go.

Awww Fran, man - I'm not disrespecting anyone here - all of these guys have made music that many people have loved, have undoubtedly inspired other folks to pick up a guitar etc etc - that's worthy of respect in anyone's book. I don't like 'em particularly, tho. There's a difference.
It's such a sibjective thing. I regularly quote James Williamson as a fave guitarist of mine. Based on TWO RECORDS: Raw Power and Kill City. But the guy's impact on me was immense - the most visceral, thrilling clang I'd ever heard. Similarly, Mick Ronson and Thunders too - never the most tech-proof players but they shaped my whole attitude to the instrument and where it can go.
And JAMC truly fucking ruled, btw. William was never much of a player but boy, Glasgow was stacked with wee tously-headed wannabes through the eighties.

The guitar tho: I actually like that colour. I do. The hardware's honkin', but.

Haha, because purple is wayyyyy more poofy than, say, Shell Pink. %ghey%

I like the colour a lot. I has metallic purple drums, they were a scratch'n'dent deal, complete kit with hardware for less than $300 and they rock all o'you faces. Although they're slowly getting changed out to not-purple stuff by pure coincidence, the purple is attractive.

What does that button do.. double/split the two bridge singles?

If it plays better than your other two strats, surely they should be up for sale instead? I'd hate to think I sold an otherwise great guitar because I didn't like the finish on the tuners.

Its obviously a serously good piece of equipment but.. the modern improvements(?) to an old classic is'nt gonna win it any fans on a website like this. Its a shame.

The button splits the bridge humbucker to a single coil for the strat sound,with the humbucker on it has a more LP fat sound to it..One of my strats has only the vintage wideranger in it,I can't part with that one.And I just can't get rid of the black and chrome strat,that one plays awesome.
