Olympic White goes better with rosewood fretboard, the blue looks better with a maple fretboard.

I absolutely do not discuss your tastes, indeed I agree that with the blue body the maple keyboard is more pleasant, unfortunately the s.c.v. 60s all have a dark keyboard today in indian lauren, so I have no alternative considering that I already have a s.c.v. 50s otherwise I would have taken o e festa red. I'm not asking you to discuss my tastes 🤔 you asked which one and why? So I said the white as it looks better with the dark wood fretboard in my opinion. To me the darker blue colours look better with maple fretboard. The light blue DefJef posted looks OK with the dark fretboard. Really only you can decided which combination you buy. So really a bit pointless asking which one and why. If I'm honest I'd buy another Les Paul type rather than a strat but again that's my preference. 😉

We are all strange in our preferences DefJef my main dislike with a strat is the middle pup it's right where I pick/pluck/strum. I've found I have to lower it below the specified height recommendations or I clip it frequently. I suppose I could alter my hand position or how I pick/pluck/strum but I often palm mute and its where my hand naturally sits. I've never found the problems others cite with LP's. I was tempted to order the HB SG with 3 pups but thought I would run into the same issue as I do with strats?

I didn't ask which favorite color between the two stratocasters But which sonically preferred, obviously even if personal this is an opinion that can be expressed by those who own or have tried them alone. In any case, the discussion is becoming misleading, why bring up an LP? Obviously thanks anyway.

All the best in finding the information you want.

Hello! You have shown a large selection of axles. I always liked to experiment with sound, and all these instruments sound differently. I recently read an interesting professional article, check link. It is not still possible to play your jam on all these beauties. My last choice I settled on was FENDER JIMI HENDRIX STRATOCASTER. I like that its sound is unique in its way, Jimi Hendrix Strat is a little different from other Strats. And this is an incredible inverted tuning with a shorter string on high strings. This child sounds warm and bright they worked to improve the sound. Why is this good for me - I am changeable and prone to experimentation, like this ax. And it is suitable for different styles of performance.

Due to musical differences I've decided I can't work with myself any more.

What they failed to mention in the little article link on the Hendrix model, santos , is the flipped bridge pickup with its treble side further from the bridge than the bass side. This will certainly have a tonal effect. It is hard to tell from this photo, maybe there are better ones online, but I have a feeling that he didn't flip his pickups when he flipped his strat so the staggered poles are also under the wrong strings. That flipped stringing on the headstock apparently caused slight difficulties. His gear tech, Roger Mayer, says "So yeah, that will make the guitar feel slightly different because the actual string length affects the kind of strength needed to bend the strings. That's one of the reasons we used to tune the guitar down a little bit." Here's a link to that full interview with Roger if you're interested in further details. link
