Having played Strats for getting on 40 years now, I pretty much automatically check that the tone controls are on 10 and then ignore them. Maybe sometimes roll off the neck one a bit, but that's about it.
So imagine my surprise when, after two days with this new one, I discover that the bottom tone control *IS FOR THE BRIDGE PICKUP*!
Mind = blown

Does it have one of those “push/pull” lead boost thingies?! 🤔🤷🏻♂️🤓

Nope. It's supposedly a 1961 reissue sorta thing, and I just assumed it had the essentially useless system of tone controls for only the neck and middle pickups that I'm used to.
This, however, is a revelation because I like rolling off a bit of tone on Telecasters to tame the plinkiness of it all, and now I can do it on this too. It's a good improvement 👍
