As a general rule of thumb, you usually get what you pay for.

That said, they are both nice guitars, but I wouldn't agree that the
FSR is as good as the American Standard. Take both for a test drive
and see what you think. :wink:

Good luck !

Looks like a brand-new David Gilmour "Black Strat" without the 2-way mini toggle switch and shortened tremolo bar. The pickguard is a standard 3-ply black/white/black as opposed to the 1-ply black vinyl of Dave's warhorse.

Does look nice but how does it "feel"?
That's one of a couple of real tests...

I have just been to the store to try it out.

It looks like David Gilmours Black Strat but it didnt feel any different to the MIM Standard in both it's tone and playability.

Personally i would have gone for the MIM strat.
Why would it feel any different than your standard? Its a standard with some special tinting on the neck and a different decal. Same guitar , just different clothing.
