On the Strat, I like the volume knob 1/2 inch further away from the bridge pickup than the original location.

100% correct on all points. I'd also add the squared off clunky heel on an otherwise nicely contoured body. Such a contradiction. I've always thought the thumb rest should have been located where Aaron suggested. And yeah, there are a lot of ignorant, arrogant D-bags on YouYube comment sections...
