I saw this at the store I got my Tonika from. They have $375 on it probably sell for $300
What's that bridge?

Wow, looks like some weird Mustang/Jazzmaster hybrid.

was thinking the same thing. that bridge is definitely a knock-off of the jazz master bridge methinks...i think it's bitchin'.

I was starting to think I liked it then realised that the idea I like from it is the same idea Fender did much better in the Electric XI and Bass VI. That sort of Fender hybrid can look great, but this one doesn't.

i don't know...i really dig it for some reason. the finish isn't my favorite...i like my sunburst with a lot more orange than yellow in it...but there's something about it i dig...

As far as I'm concerned anything you can do to a strat to kill the monotony is a good thing.

This is exactly the same style as that burgandy mist one I always talk about, same bridge.
That one also has a one-ply pickguard with a black strip painted on the beveled edge to simulate a 3-ply... the pickups aren't height adjustable, just screwed in from the sides... the middle pickup is fake too, and the switch only has 2 positions. That one also had neck "binding" painted on.
