It is true there have been many different controls on Stratocasters over the years. My focus was on the Fender American Standard Stratocasters.

You forgot the…

1. Grease Bucket Tone control on the 2006 updated Highway One Strat

2. S1 Switching System on American Deluxe Strats. It gives you 5 more pickup tone options when you press on the S1 switch on the Volume Knob.

Although its a signature model. You can buy it now from Fender as a kit.

3. Eric Clapton Mid-range boost preamp kit.

Interesting. I think there is a trend towards one-volume control, one-tone control setups.

if i buy a brand new strat, or fumble my way into a classic, the one mod i will do ON THEM ALL is swapping the lower (mid) tone knob to global (all pups) move my volume to the middle knob position, and disabling the original volume pot.
