hey i was looking into buying an american strat prolly a highway one or a american standard. which one is a better guitar and which one has a more vintage feel and look. i kno the am deluxe are vintagey but they're a little over my price range :( . also i like to play music like john frusciante bluesy strat sound to harder stuff like jimmy page. also does hss affect the strat "sparkle" or does it just make the guitar more versatile. cause i've heard that it changes the guitars overall sound. thanks

oh and also i think the black parts on the highway one hss are really ugly so i was wondering if you can change them to like white or cream? also where would you get them and how much do they cost?

well, i'd personally go with the american standard, they're very versatile guitars and should suit your playing... you could replace the highway one electronics, but it would be about the same price as the american after its all said and done... the hss has a slightly different feel and tone in my experience, but nothing extremely different... if you don't use the bridge pickup on the strat and are looking to play some more heavy stuff, the hss might be a better choice.... really go and play as many of them as you can though and see which one feels right for you
