    10 facts about Strats

    This was posted on Guitar World's gear page.

    I know most of these to be true; any inaccuracies?

    The video is worth watching for #1

    Common facts, Can't see why they made a video about them except for the uninitiated , but at least facts none the less, there are other "facts" more interesting in the world of Stratocasters that could have been used..(JMO).

    I think it is for the uninitiated. Everybody has to start somewhere in order to become a guitar freakazoid.

    Re: 10 facts about Strats

    I remember a friend having an MIJ Strat copy in the very early '80s and there being so many mysteries- what was under the chrome bridge cover, how did the "whammy bar" work (he was afraid it'd break if you used it much), what was under the back plate, why did the pickups sound funky when you balanced the switch in between positions...
