hi i ma swapping my dk2m and marshall avtx275 combo for a usa 2005 standard strat,but can someone give my a list of the specs as there only the new 2009 models on the website.any help would be gratefull please,regaards dave

They came with SCN pickups and the S-1 switching system that you can only get on the American Deluxe now. It was featured on the 2004/2005 Strats

what even on a usa standard strat,whats the scn pups

Only the us Made Amereicab Strat had Samarian Cobalt Noiseless pickups (my personal favorite) with S-1 switching that let you swith in series or pralel..A GREAT axe but only on the 2004 and 2005 American USA made standard Stratocaster

I don't have a 2005 American Series/Standard Strat but according to The Fender Stratocaster Handbook by Paul Balmer the guitar comes with:
recessed truss rod access at the headstock
micro tilt feature beneath rear neck plate
9.5 inch fretboard radius
Schaller/Fender machine heads
2 point modern trem with modern compressed steel saddles
Amer. Standard single coil pickups with custom magnet stagger designed for the plain third string arrangement
Delta Tone control for mid & bridge pickups & standard tone control for neck pickup
1 volume control
body routed for bridge & neck humbuckers as well as the fitted single coils
5 way switch
1 string tree

I can't personally verify this info because I don't have this guitar but this is how it is described in the afore mentioned book along with corroborating pictures. Hope this helps.

Then it was just the 2004 that had the scn pickups but I'm pretty sure they were standard fare with the S-1 switching , I know someone with a 2005 and his has the SCN pickups and S-1 switching FYI

Dave like most of us you've probably outgrown your DK2M. Them jackson metal machines are great axes but dont suit us into our latter years too well.

No no and no

IN 2004 the SCN's were standard equipment so they discontinued them in 2005,Niki????? They still had S-1 switching in 2005 but no SCN is what I'm reading in this..Is that correct? Niki because they were STANDARD in the 2004 model as they were in my 2008 Deluxe American Strat

thanks to deepindigo for that info thats what i was wanting and also thanks to everyone else,regards,also what is this no load delta tone do sorry to sound like a noob but then again when it comes to us fenders iam

Please see the description for the No-Load Tone circuitry below:

The Fender No Load Pot is used on some USA Strats, Teles and Fender basses and is wired like a standard tone control. From settings 1-9 it works like a standard tone then clicks in at 10 (full clockwise/ bright setting) and removes the pot and capacitor from the circuit. This eliminates the path to ground that exists with standard pots even in the full treble position. By eliminating the path to ground thru the pot, the only load on the pickup is the volume pot. So if 250K pots are used, the load is reduced from 125K to 250K and if 500K pots are used, the load is reduced from 250K to 500K (high resistance = low load) The reduced load allows more power output from he pickup and reduces the amount of high frequencies that bleed off to ground. This gives a noticeable increase in brightness and output in the full treble setting. The no load pot can be used in place of any standard tone control on any guitar or bass.

The Delta Tone makes the bridge pickup just a little hotter output than the rest of the pickups. That is what I understand it as. I may be wrong. Hope all this mumbo jumbo helps.

sounds like a problem for scotty on the enterprise but yes i know what u mean thanks

Scn's to my knowledge have never been in the standard, only the deluxe. Indeed they are in my 2004 deluxe and also my 2005 custom classic, which is a custom shop version of the deluxe. Why would they put exactly the same features on the standard and charge less for it? It makes no sense does it.

This is a excerpt from Bill Lawrence's site concerning SCN's, written by aficionado Dan Smith of CBS, FMIC and Ampeg fame.
