a question: how does the vintage fender strat hardtail work? do the strings go through the body like in a telecaster-bridge? what does the back look? are there stringferrules in the back of a tele with strat-hardtailbridge?

Yes, the strings pass through the body through ferrules, then up and over the saddles, just like a Tele.

My '79 hardtail has a string-through-body setup. I think this is tonally superior to a top-loading bridge.
