This weekend I was in the Big City and saw an "American Select" Strat in a GC store.

Unless I have missed it there is nothing about these models on the Fender site.

Is it a GC request?

Yes, that was a special run for Guitar Center/Musician's Friend from say 2006. They are based on the American Series Strat so they don't have any of the January 2008 updates (like the new trem with bent saddles).

I was so close to buying one back in 2009! :shock: I regret it today... but I still love my American Standard HSS... :)
Funny though I thought they called it something different... great guitar though

I saw one at the Scottsdale, AZ Guitar Center yesterday. They were called American Special Strats and they were a special run for Guitar Center/Musician's Friend.

The American Special name took on a whole new meaning in 2010 and they're called American Select now.
