I had a Rickenbacker 330 and after the novelty wore off, I decided I liked Strats better. I got the 330 at Sam Ash over 60 days ago so I knew I would only get about half the going price on a trade in. My thought was to see if they would let me trade it straight up for an American Standard Strat. I called and the guy told me to bring the 330 in and he would see what he could do. I brought the 330 in and started checking out one of the American Standards. The guy went to talk to the store manager to see what kind of deal he could give me.

Well, he came back and told me that he could do the 330 as a return but with a re-stocking fee, and that I could get the American Deluxe HSS Strat as a straight up trade instead of the American Standard.

WOWEEEE!!!

Here are a few pics...

I like that colour... it's like a solid version of Sienna Sunburst! Not keen on the lack of abalone fret markers but love the rest of it. The pickups look great; how do they sound?

Thats a pretty good deal. How does the humbucker sound? I've only ever heard the SSS Deluxe. How are you liking the compound radius fretboard as well?

The humbucker sounds great, and the compound radius fretboard is awesome. I think it makes it easier to play all the way up the neck.

I believe those are abalone fret markers, the lighting and
Shadowing seem to make them look black.

Sweet, both of yours
