Well, I ordered from sweetwater and got my new American Standard Stratocaster. Incredible guitar to play and sounds so good. Since Fender has discontinued this line, I figured I better order one soon. The rosewood and bordeaux color combination is just amazing, kinda gives it a custom shop look. I'm also very impressed how well it stays in tune after using the tremolo aggressively. The factory setup was spot on. I made a little youtube demo here.

Thanks all! Yes, too bad Fender is discontinuing this line after so many years. The color combo of the rosewood/bordeux is awesome so I figured I better order one before they are gone. It plays incredible and the sound is amazing.

Yeah - good stuff! Can you do another one with some other p/up selections as well?! :)

No Fat 50's in this one, then? Is it a FSR or something, or are the CS '69's what they're now fitting as standard?

And what amp are you going through? Doesn't sound like you're using any of your FX, just going straight in?

Cheers - Peter.

Oops!! Thanks mate. I seem to have made a mistake. Yes, the pickups are indeed custom shop fat 50s, not the custom shop 69s. The cleans were straight through the Egnater Tweaker 15 watt valve combo, and the dirty sound is with a black boss DS-1 distortion pedal.

Just think of how awesome a guitar player you could have been by now if you had only spent the last 10 years practicing instead of obsessing over pickups and roasted maple necks.
