It has all the gains... from lifting it repeatedly. πŸ’ͺπŸ˜‚

I'm the crazy mofo that voted for the 3 bolt neck plate with tilt adjustment. πŸ˜…πŸŽΈ Some of the CBS era Strats had the neck pocket carved correctly. It was a unique innovation for the tim

The BIG headstock which totally doesn't affect your tone but looks cool!

I like the adjustable neck, I wish more guitars had that option cause I get sick of shimming necks for better action

My first guitar was a 2005 Classic Series 70s Strat - 3 bolt neck, fat headstock, natural finish. It’s the best Strat I own to this day! I have a Player Strat and a Deluxe HSS Strat, and have played Americans, Standards, and various others. The 70s is the metric against which all others are measured!

I purchase the 1983 version of the Squire that was made in Japan in 1993. One of my favorite guitars.

It's no surprise that the big headstock wins out. But I am the other guy who voted for the 3 bolt neck. Not.... because it had 3 bolts. Or because half the neck pockets were way too loose... But because the neck tilt mechanism was a great advancement at the time. Of all the things Fender did in the 70s... this is still being used on modern production guitars.

The market value, so I can sell it and buy a Dean ML Floyd instead.
