Hi,

I am about to buy a new strato and I am looking at this 2 models:
1) American 60th Anniversary Commemorative
2) American Elite

Both Sunburst and maple neck/fingerboard. Same price range.

The main differences are these:
- 1954 Single-coil vs Fender Noiseless Gen4 with S1 switch
- Gold vintage hardware vs modern silver
- Modern-C neck vs Modern-C/Modern-D
- Truss rod nut location

Both have compound radius (9.5" - 14").

Since both have pros and cons, my main concern is about the sound. Although the S1 switch offer more sound combinations, they don't sound too good compared to the normal pickup positions. Maybe in high gain for humbucker-style or jazz since it sounds darker. Is the S1 really worth it? How the Noiseless compare to the 54 pickups?

Also, not a big fan of where the truss rod nut is placed in the elite.
