Leo Fender made very few alterations to the basic design of the Fender Stratocaster (and the Telecaster for that matter) up until 1965 when the company was sold to CBS Instruments. [1] For example, the bridge cover on the Fender Stratocaster was often taken off by players and either disposed or kept in the case.
The second pro guitar controller is the Squier Fender Stratocaster Guitar and Controller. A full size functioning Stratocaster guitar, it has both a 1/4" audio output port, and a 5-pin MIDI out port. The bridge is fixed, with no vibrato arm, as the pro guitar and bass modes do not have the whammy function.
neck and bridge pickups in parallel with middle pickup in series; The STRAT featured a hotter bridge pickup, marketed by Fender as the X-1. The controls and hardware were gold plated and included a uniquely massive synchronized tremolo. There was no standard neck for The STRAT, but three shapes were available: C, D, and U.
On a cello, the strings are attached to the tailpiece and are held above the soundboard by the bridge.. A bridge is a device that supports the strings on a stringed musical instrument and transmits the vibration of those strings to another structural component of the instrument—typically a soundboard, such as the top of a guitar or violin—which transfers the sound to the surrounding air.
Two such guitars which were custom built for Eric Clapton came with a traditional '50s era-style maple neck and a hardtail non-tremolo bridge. In many respects, the Elite series certainly outlined the renewed innovating capacities of Fender but in an otherwise fairly conservative guitar world it did not prove a milestone as anticipated.
First released in 1954 on Fender's Stratocaster, the simple but effective design offers a greater range of pitch change than the Bigsby, and a better capability for up-bends. Fender incorrectly labeled the arm as a "tremolo arm" rather than a "vibrato arm", conversely referring to the tremolo circuit on his amplifiers as "vibrato". [23]

The '51 uses a humbucker pickup in the bridge position and a single-coil (R≈3.5kΩ) pickup in the neck position. The 4-wire bridge pickup allows for coil splitting by pulling up on the volume control knob to limit the humbucker to single-coil output. The neck pickup is slanted with respect to the strings, better aligning the single-coil pole ...
