An observation and question: seems like a lot of the 50s style Stratocasters coming out of the CS lately are based on the 1956 Stratocaster. 1957 seems to be the year in the regular production line, but just looking at the strats at the various dealers and even this beautiful gallery (http://www.musicradar.com/news/guitars/ ... ars-285554), of the 50s strats, 56 seems to dominate. Just wondering if there is a particular reason why '56 seems to be the dominant year in the CS shop. Is this a cyclical thing? Or, am I just seeing things?

The '56 & '57 are considered by some as the years that Fender "got it right", meaning the overall design and quality of the strat.

Thanks.

That's sort of what I gathered. I guess I'm wondering why the '56 seems to be getting all the attention over the '57 in the CS. I'm a '57 lover :-)
