Atlast I ordered my Am deluxe ash strat & it's on the way!!!!!!!!
I would like to know what kind of case comes with it.IS it the rectangular model or the guitar shaped case.Any pics anywhere?
What strings come on it?

Mine came with the hard shell guitar shaped case and 9s on it. :wink:I got the ash model too in cherryburst finish. What color did you order? You are going to love it after a pro setup 8) I like the SCNs and the S-1 system. I was going to sell it when I got my Gilmour but decided against it. They are two great guitars with different sound qualities so I figure I have the best of both styles! Enjoy my friend!! 8) :wink:

My Deluxe ash tobacco burst w/ a rosewood fretboard came with the guitar shaped HSC and 9's on them as well. I bought it for 1116 new at GC. I think the rectangular HSC's are better quality in as much as the latches are concerned, but they seem a little bulky.

At first I hated the SCN's, I even bought a loaded pickguard with CS69's to replace them. After a while I have really come to appreciate those SCN's pups. Now I understand what someone on this board told me that they take some getting used to. So don't judge them too fast, just my 0.02 cents
Cheers

Thanks guys.
Just got my am deluxe ash body strat Cherry burst.Halellujah!
I got it on a 20% off from sweetwater.com.It comes with a 2 yr warranty from sweetwater,they also changed strings & did a setup (they do this on all guitars before shipping ).I think there service is excellent.I am very impressed with the feel (as thats what I look in for in most guitars ).Nice slim fast neck.I'm still exploring the S1 tones & they are pretty impressive,having some nice deep tones.
The guitar is a beauty.I've been using a Joe Sat Ibanez so I got to get used to this feel & tone though.I like the adjustment on the back of the neck for tilt.

Hi there,
I bought also an Ash Cherry burst beauty and I wonder if there are directions for Pro setup anywhere?

You should have got a book with your guitar that explains all of the recommended settings. these are just factory settings and you and your tech can tweak it to your likings. If you don't have the booklet you can find all the info on this site. Good luck my friend and Welcome to the forum!! 8) Finding a good guitar tech in your area is a MUST! :wink:

Ya, mine came with a basic setup pamphlet and you can download docs from the Fender site as well :)

I also bought http://www.amazon.com/Fender-Stratocaster-Handbook-Maintain-Troubleshoot/dp/0760329834/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1228404163&sr=8-2
to help me along.

But for what I consider major stuff you would rarely have to do like setting the neck, truss rod and dressing frets I'll send it in to my tech.

I have a tobacco sunburst ash deluxe. It came with a guitar shaped case with "Fender" embossed onto the front. Mine arrived with a set up that was perfect for my tastes. The finish was flawless. Enjoy your new axe!
