Very nice! I love black..... Wish fender would do like they did on some of their other Limited Editions, and that is to stamp the production number on the neckplate. Here is the neck plate on my Limited Edition Telecaster. Like your Strat, it is Black. Having that there leave no questions about how many they made or what rank you have in the production list. Maybe with some LEs they are not sure how many they are going to produce or the individual stamping is too much work or extra $$$ ???

Darn it, I just ordered a run of the mill Black American Standard. At least I'm getting the maple neck - so....

.
Only one thing that would make me regret my purchase would have been
had there been an Ebony model available with a maple neck.
On the other hand, swapping out that rosewood fingerboard for an ebony fingerboard would be golden.. errrr black gold. LOL.

Serious though, nice guitar. and as a limited edition, it may hold it's value with such a low build number.

Would fender take an Ebony edition neck and replace the rosewood fingerboard for me? Who knows but IF that actually happened, I would have 1 out of those 150.
the first and possibly last true Ebony fretboarded neck LTD ED Ebony Strat.
IMHO that would be a True Ebony!
Now... if anyone's got ideas about doing that you heard it here first

An ebony neck with abalone dot inlays on the fretboard! Not the traditional white plastic dots of the standard Strats, but the paua green abalone used on the older American Deluxes and many Custom Shop guitars!

Explain it to me as though I have no idea what a no-load pot is

I'll take a shot at this...

A tone pot is a variable resistor/potentiometer connected in parallel to the pickup output(s) - it dumps certain frequencies to ground instead of them passing on to the output jack/amp. The pot input/lug is wired to the guitar output signal, & the output/lug of the pot wired to ground...but 1st wired in series somewhere in there is a capacitor. The cap determines which frequencies get passed/dumped to ground (mostly those higher then the cap's rating); the rating of the pot (250ohm, 500ohm, etc) controls how much signal gets dumped - the higher the resistance of the pot/setting between its input(guitar signal) and output(ground), the less higher-freq signal gets dumped.

BUT - the pot is (normally) always connected to the PUP output signal, so something is always getting dumped, even at "9.5". The no-load pot bypasses the output-to-ground lug altogether. NO dumping at all!

Its probably no-load near/at 10 cause that is where most of the highs/signal get through - now w/Delta tone no-load all will.

Very scholarly and all entirely accurate- this is the defintive answer.

However, you might prefer: The position 10 is brighter than having a traditional tone control pot wide open. It's as if there is no tone pot there at all to suck out your high frequencies..

That is much more my speed.

Thanks!

Hi all, I am new to the forum. I have an "Ivory" color 2010 Fender Limited Ed. FSR Amer Strat on order and due to be delivered this coming Tuesday. However, in my travels researching on this particular FSR, I've run across some that have the words "Limited Edition" stamped into the neck plate and some that do not. I ordered from ProGuitarShop.com whose website shows pictures of the neck plate saying "Limited Edition". However I have no idea which version of the guitar I will receive. Has anyone gotten to the bottom of this inconsistency? Are the ones that don't have the words "Limited Edition" on the neck plate then not really limited editions? How will that affect resale value in the future then? I am concerned and wondering what is going on with Fender here. I would think that all 150 each (black and ivory) should have those words stamped into them as "Limitied Edition" versions.

I would wager that it is due to the rarity of the stock photos when they began to go on sale. I know that Sweetwater didn't have a picture of the two strats when they started listing them. It WOULD be nice to know that only 150 were made of each, but dunno how you'd et concrete evidence unless we began a SN research of some sort.

A couple of photos showing the Ivory American Standard Strat with the maple neck would be welcomed and apraised.

Both Ebony and Ivory Stratocasters are real jewels.

I suppose there's also a matching set of FSR Ebony/Ivory Teles, Precision and Jazz Basses in the works.

here you go..... she plays as good as she looks....
To the original poster I love the Ebony....sexy

Just a reminder that there is a small spring in the hole when you take the sticker off the bridge. We don't need anymore orphaned springs in this world.
