Fender's Mexican-built reissue of the 1970s Stratocaster, with the large headstock, bullet truss rod and three-bolt neck plate of the period and three single-coil pickups on a five-way switch. It keeps the bright, glassy Strat voice and the quack of the in-between positions, which is why it suits clean, reverb-soaked and phaser-washed playing. Mark Speer of Khruangbin plays a modified 2001 example, with DiMarzio pickups, as his only touring guitar.
