After decades of playing jazz/rock/blues guitar, and owning 20+ guitars and basses, I bought an Am Std Strat from the local music shop this spring. First time playing one. 2007, black with RW neck, and I love the way it plays! I have been ignoring all the other gear this year, just bashing on this one. Then, Fender comes out with the price increase and rebate, so I bought another Am Std, a sunburst 2009 HSS with maple, and am even more impressed. What a blues machine! Why didn't I buy one of these years ago? (lack of money, small town with no Fender dealer I suppose)

So, I sent off for my rebate on the HSS. I just got a card in the mail from Fender saying that they could not honour my rebate, and the fine-print reason was that I had given a po box number instead of a street address on the rebate card. Not that they said in advance that this was what was required.

But....

They actually sent my rebate cheque to the box number six weeks ago. I have spent it. I guess Fender is a typical large company that way, one department clueless about what the others are doing. If I send this card back in with a street address, do you think they might send me a second cheque? :roll:

No matter, I'm just lovin' being a Strat owner, and can see myself buying more of them. Just the two I own sound so different, but excellent in their own ways, and I see no need to 'fix' or modify them. I love their personalities. And this forum which I have been lurking for some time always interests and entertains. Glad I found the guitars AND you guys! :D
