    Maybe one of the pups was a mini humbucker? If not, then I'd say yes - misidentified. . .

    I would ask the posters of those auctions instead of us. How would we know?

    In my expereince, "fat" applied to a Strat always implies presence of a humbucker, usually full-sized and in the bridge position.

    Before I had a Fender or Squier, I thought the term had something to do with the thickness of the body.

    Oddly enough there is a difference in body thickness. American Strats are 3/16" thicker than imports - at least the ones I've seen. Anyone else notice that?

    I found out the hard way that Affinity Squiers are thinner. I bought the tremolo/steel block kit from Guitar Fetish and it sticks out the back of the guitar.

    Exactly.

    Now a "Super Strat" does not mean a Strat with blue tights and a red cape.

    But that is a sales idea - beats a $20,000 intentionally beat up Strat.

    Do you mean a guitar with its underpants on the outside?




    Electric: Fat strat > Korg PB > TS7 > DS1 > DD-20 > Cube 60 (Fender model)

    Acoustic: Guitar > microphone > audience
