Hello, I am fairly new to the Forum. A bout 2 months ago I picked up my First American Fender Standard Strat. It's a 2012 with the Custom shop Fat 50's pick ups in Mystic Red with an incredible neck and Maple fretboard and I can't put it down. I used to be a Reverend Fanatic but after getting this Strat My Reverends do nothing but gain dust in their cases. I never believed (until owning one) that a guitar could feel so good in my hands, Fits like a glove and sounds absolutely fantastic. My Amps are a 15Watt Egnater Tweaker Combo and a wine Red Blues Jr with white chicken head knobs and a Cannabis Rex 12# speaker and either amp makes this guitar sound just amazing. I have been buying, selling, trading guitars for 20 years and owned a ton of Mexican Strats which were very nice but none really bonded with me. I went to Reverend because of their nice neck and Bass Contour Control and thought I had found the ultimate guitar (Korean Made) WOW! Was I ever wrong. This 2012 American Standard has opened my eyes to what a really great American Made Guitar can do. It is as beautiful as it sounds and weighs 7.3lbs which is at least 2 pounds less than either of my Reverends and sounds so much better. I have never owned a better guitar than this. It just has something special that is hard to explain. I am just awed by this amazing guitar in its TSA case that was so new it still had the little silver tape over the tremolo whole. You can take my Reverends just leave my Strat alone. It is Amazing and after all the guitars I have been through in my life this is the only one I can truly say I would never sell or trade for anything. We bonded for life.

I think that deep inside Stevens, you really do know what it has. It's American!!!! The only thing that could make it any better would be if it was Canadian!!!! But then I suppose I am a little biased.
Be gentle with it.................................Dave

I am amazed at the quality and sound of this guitar I will own this one until I am gone. I have never owned a better guitar. I have owned guitars that cost twice as much but NEVER anything nicer. I am a Fender Fan for Life. I'll be selling my Reverends off as this is the only guitar I need.

From the sounds of it, I'm betting you sleep with your axe, Stevens. :lol: As for it's weight, I'm gonna put my Strat on a diet first thing in the morning. :mrgreen:
