It's strange but 2 tone models seem to be more common. I wasn't sure about mine at first, but 2 tone with rosewood is a good look, once you get over the feeling of "it's wrong".

Is that alder? Most seem to be sen.

That's basically a mid 50s Strat with a rosewood cap board. If Fender had ever made them, they would be worth $$$$$$$ by now.

I know how it look as I still have my ST-80 GS-R and the ST-100 GS maple.
But I would like to buy a good replacement for my fender SRV

That is something I can't quite put my finger on.... there's not an abundance of graining although it's more visible on the back. And it's not really a heavy guitar - probably around 7 1/2 lbs:

Ah, fair enough. So you want an alder one?

Not that that tells us anything! My ST80 is my lightest Strat @ 7lb 4oz. The ST60 weighs 10 oz more, both sen.

Yep, something like that : ST80 YSR

Cool. Are you an E pickup fan, or do you want something a bit beefier for an SRV Strat?

too bad this is not a Tokai

Exactly my point.... don't really know if there was a weight difference between Alder and Sen. I don't know if I could tell the difference without some sort of clue such as weight characteristics of the wood.
