Depends if you want a humbucker on not!!

Seriously though, having the humbucker will give a very different collection of tones. Only you can know what you're after. I have the SSS and I think it's fantastic, I didn't try the HSS so I can't pass judgment on the humbucker.

The smart thing to do would be to try a SSS deluxe next to a HSS deluxe - If you're as impatient as me though this might be a struggle!!

I have had a Lone Star Strat (the American Deluxe HSS by an earlier name) for years and I love it. Great bluesy tone. Mine has two Texas Specials and a Pearly Gates humbucker. A little different than the HSS, but not by much. Good choice as far as I'm concerned...but I'm a little biased.

I always keep both and they are both required guitars for any collection. Each does things the other can't.

I've seen that one there; I don't remember if it has a 2009 or a 2010 serial number but it is a 2010 model - 2009s didn't have that color, the N3 pickups, or the pushbutton blower switch. I have to admit I usually don't spend much time at Willcutt's main shop (where the production-line Fenders are kept) when I go over to Lexington; I usually go see Eric and Brandon over at their other location where the PRSi, Fender CS, Gibson Historic, and other brands live. :wink:

Fender didn't announce these or ship them until March 2010, but they did produce a run of them at the end of 2009 so they had them in the warehouse to immediately fill orders. I have no idea why Fender chose to sit on these and not release them in January 2010 at the NAMM show.
