The guitar actually has a 5-way selector not a 3 way - I know as I own 2 of them

The 83 Dan Smith era standard strat USA was and is a great Fender . They have a 5 position pickup switch not 3, a Bi-Flex neck meaning you can adjust both caster and camber, top quality hardware, sound great and excellent player comfort. Down sides one tone and difficult to set up trem springs but easy to top load strings on L saddles. Great guitar I own one and feel they are under valued by far. Cheers PMCG

The 1983 - 1985 American Standard Stratocaster was the last in the Fender CBS era.This variation on the Stratocaster was designed to reduce production and retail costs: it had a single tone control, 3-position pickup selector, the newly designed Freeflyte vibrato system (surface mounted without a tremolo cavity - less routing required!) and a basic output jack that was flush with the pickguard. The remodelled ‘Comfort Contour’ body had deeper forearm and waist contours, similar to the early 1960s strats.
