Yeah it's a pretty good price. The funny thing is on their website it doesn't say "on sale" it says "new low price" which sounds more permanent. I don't know, it's a great deal anyway. I noticed they were sold out of the SSS H.O. s so I say get em while you can.

The SSS is out of stock but if I'm reading the page correctly, you can pre-order and you'll get the $699 price.

Thanks for the link ... this is a great deal to say the least!

(I didn't try an order because I already have AmStd SSS and HSS Strats -- otherwise, one or maybe both at this price would be in the shopping cart!)

There going for around £459 in england which equates to about $740 american.
Hell of a guitar at that price. If they still had the smaller headstock i'd snap one up. Shallow me cant get past the big 70's style one.

I spent a little bit of time exploring that site. There are lots of incredible deals!

I really like all them "Aster" guitars. You know, like the Stratoc, Telec and Jazzm.

If AMS is advertising them at those lower prices, then Fender must have given them permission ... that is, the MAPs have been lowered.

The economy is tough. They gotta sell guitars. We are watching the price increases being rolled back ... for the short-term at any rate.

Its odd that others have not droped there price but they will meet that from AM. GC seems to not be restocking them in the stores now days either but they still have them for order on the net. The local store here has to order them in if anyone wants one. I was told that this morning.

or it could be on its way out? its ok if it
does it will go down as one of the best production
strats made go to harmany central/musicians friend/zzsounds
amrican musical supply read al the reveiews on this strat
will be a colletible

I've read they made some revisions to the HW1 since they were introduced. Any idea what to look for as far as differences based on the production year? I saw a couple HW1's, including an HSS black one that was VERY attractively priced but might not be a 2008 or 2009 model even though its new... not that I need another guitar since I've already got a MIJ Strat and another two Strats on layaway ( ).

But, if the HW1 is still there at that price when I pick up one of the Strats on layaway... well....
