Never thought I would see that again LOL !!!!!

Too bad most of those guys dont come around here, they are loyal to a tyrant.

any way I wouldnt part with my AMSE 50th, No not EVER !!!

I will buy another one some day just to preserve, however my original still looks killer and when I open that case and my buddies see that classic styling and two tone burst their eyes light up like a kid a Christmas.

Fender outdid themselves on these guitars.

Cant believe another 2004 limited edition 50th amse just sold on the Bay for only 850.00, Wow what a deal that guy got !!!

the deluxes sell for $1200.00 or more every time.
Funny the deluxe only lasted about six months with me and the amse has become my #1.

Hope I find a deal like that when I start looking for a twin to mine.

There is some useful guidance on the Fender web site for guitar maintainance. I put much higher tension on the tremolo springs on both my 50th Anniversary and my standard Strat (keeps the un-bent strings in tune when bending others and I don't use the whammy). I didn't fancy using a tremolo block which is the traditional method. If anything, the sustain is improved this way on my guitars.
Of course, I had to re-do the action and intonations but with an hour to spare and a decent tuner, it is easily done.
I wholeheartedly agree with the comments so far. My 50th Anniversary Strat does have a beautiful tone, even compared to the Standard (now known as the American Series it appears!)

It has to be the Pups, I've played a bunch om AMSE strats that dont have the same sound as My 50th.

The only thing I wish they had done was to use vintage bridge saddles and Trem to make it really look like a 1954 Strat.

The two tone bust, the wood , the neck and the one ply guard do have such a great early Strat vibe for sure.

the tweed case with 50th emblem helped to sweeten the deal too.

I still say these will someday be looked at as one of Fenders finest modern guitars.
