Are you talking about the American Standard, American Special, or American Deluxe?

I do not have one, but played a few different American Specials. I prefer the SSS Model over the HSS model. I have to admit that I love the Black HSS's looks. Overall it is a good guitar, I just think the humbucker in it is lacking the punch of a humbucker. You may have a different opinion after tesing them out.

My next purchace is an American Special SSS. It has the tone I am looking for. Plus I already have a hot HSS Fender Stratocaster.

Play as many models as you can and see what you like. Always let the hands and ears override the looks; otherwise you possibly could be modifying it before too long.

I have the Black HSS American Special Strat. I love it! I agree the Atomic humbucker is not as "powerful" as other humbuckers, but suits the Strat and its style of sound just right, with enough extra oomph, when single colis just wont cut it.
