Wasn't there another that had the Fishman power bridge on it?
There is. It's still part of the current line up and is know as the Deluxe Power (as opposed to Power
house) Strat. I've played the old Powerhouse a few times and really liked it. Basically, it's an updated version of the old Elite Strat from the 80's but without the funky bridge and other non-traditional features. Like the Elite before it, the Powerhouse used a dummy coil to achieve noise-free operation (the sensing pickups were based on the American Standard). It was a lively sounding guitar and the addition of the mid-boost made it quite versatile. I believe the specs for the boos was 12db vs. 25db for the EC sig. Strat. A simple mod that involves removing a couple of resistors from the circuit allows the Powerhouse to match the Clapton's boost.
BTW, when the current American Standard series was announced, there was to have been a version that featured the active circutry and dummy coil system from the Powerhouse. Those plans were quickly scrapped as Fender may have had concerns that this would eat into sales of the E.C. model.
