Thanks for all the reply's...

I was able to swap out he N3 for Fenders '57\'62 vintage pups & still retain the S1 switching.

The overall sound was more the vintage strat sound. The sustain still seems to be lacking & I have to say it's not exactly the same sound as my '62 vintage reissue.

I have to wonder if it is due to the S1 switching, or maybe the difference between the new American Deluxe V Neck & the '62 vintage (rosewood neck) reissue.

For example, wood, compound maple neck, modern tremolo assy, etc.

Any feed back would be greatly appreciated... Larry...

Its the difference in circuits and the hardware. Most people tend to put too much emphasis on the woods.

+1

I reckon all the additional wiring on the S-1 probably increases the capacitance of the circuit which "could" potentially strip some of the higher frequencies. Whether or not that's enough for it to effect sustain or be in any way audible... I personally can't tell.
