Thanks, Robert. Yes, I just noticed you had a similar post from a while ago. I considered the players strat too. Not sure what ultimately made the decision for me, but I just bought what I couldn't stop playing.
Exactly, I can't put it in the guitar stand that I use, so I am thinking about masking the rubber with tape or something. Also, the strap I use, I can't tell what material the end and I don't want it to react. Other than that I'm just being dramatic.
