He actually used a 52 strat(could be 54 or any other boutique strat) on the stage for some of the clean sounds. He says so himself in an interview in guitar world.Random info, but when Syn needs a strat/tele clean sound in the studio, he actually uses Nash guitars rather than Fender. PG told me all the cleans on The Stage were Nash guitars, and Syn mentioned using them as far back as Nightmare if I recall correctly
