I have a 1991 American Strat Plus Dlx that I bought new in '91.
It is a crimson-burst with see through red that fades into black edges.
Lace pups in red, blue, and silver. Wilkinson roller nut and Schaller locking tuners.
It has sounded fantastic from day one as it does today.
The neck is excellent with a very smooth feel, rosewood finger board.
2 point/fulcrum vibrato.
It's been a players guitar, me, from day 1, but it's still in great condition for it's age.
I plan to never sell it. :)

Paid around $1100-$1200 for it in '91 and from what I researched it's worth a bit more than that now.
I've played new Strats and though I really like them and will get one, there is something different about where the electronic controls are laid out on the new ones.
Playing a new one I always hit the volume control and have to reset it often, not so with my '91. Don't know why. Seems there is just a bit something different.

As for the Lace pups, my Strat sounds like a single coil Strat that it is without all the hum, buzz, and non sense of the originals.
There might be a bit more high end sparkle in the original pups but nothing I can't tweak in with my Fender 68 CDR.
This Strat sounds beautiful through this amp as it does in all the other amps I've played it through. Lots of clean gain from the red sensor pup and classic Strat tones from the blue and silver pup.
I see/hear no reason to change these pups.
That's why I want a new modern Strat with the noiseless SC's.
