A fantastic 50s style Strat that combines gorgeous looks with effortless playability, inspiring tones, and an excellent overall feel.

In a nutsell, the blend allows you to get the bridge and neck pickups together like a Tele, in addition to having all the pickups on - cool in and of itself - but in practice, we always use this feature like an EQ control. Specifically a midrange control.

Into our Swart Atomic Jr, which has a really beautiful early-50s like midrange, we were able to either emphasize or de-emphasize that midrange depending on our mood. Sure, boost pedals will do this too, but, they don't allow for the same level of control as you can set the blend - and it's effect on the mids - however you'd like, to whatever degree you want. Yes, that's an awesome thing!
