The saddles are new ClassicGear Radial saddles made of bent steel with recessed height adjustment screws.

Strat players originally found the in-between positions by balancing the three-way switch between two notches. In 1977, Fender gave them fixed positions with the five-way switch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere, the push\/push on the lower tone knob provides two additional combinations beyond the five. With the bridge switch, a push adds the neck pickup; in position 2, you get all three pickups together. Push again, and you're back to the five.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe neck\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Deep C is slim at the saddle and gradually becomes fuller toward the body.

HSS has two single-coils and a humbucker at the bridge, which can be switched to single-coil mode with the lower tone knob.
