What's the *one* feature that you dig the most about a Stratocaster.

ONE feature!!!???!!! Oh man...

Just to get the ball rolling: body shape. Those cutouts and contours make it feel different than anything that came before and most of what came after.

Cheers - C

...And the sound of single coils of course. And the syncronized vibrato. And

My favorite feature of my American Strat is definatly the rolled fingerboard edges. It makes it a dream to play.

The contoured body.

apart from the awesome looks, it's not until you play a Tele or a Les Paul that you realise just how comfortable the Strat is to play. Don't get me wrong I love my Tele, but along with the Trem it's the thing I miss the most about my Strat.

Cheers.

The fact that it has way more than one feature.

The versatility...
