I recently was at Guitar Center checking out a american standard strat....and the sales girl showed me another strat ( still a fender ) it was a strat with a swucth called an S-1 swicth. basically you have the 5 way switch as normal but when you depress one of the tone knobs...you get even more combinations out of the pick ups. I didnt have too much time to mess around with it but seemed interesting.
you can google fender s-1 switch and get a lot of things to read.
