I got an offer from online vendor for a new American Special Strat two tone sunburst with gigbag for $700 with free shipping, no sales tax. I have until this Friday or this limited promo offer will expire. What do you all think?

Nah its true. Its from a known reputable authorized online dealer that I know "all" of you know. They sent me an email yesterday with this offer. I've been buying so much from them, I guess its their way of saying thanks.

Not a half bad price if that's the guitar for you. Keep in mind you can get an American standard for that price...

OK guys where can I get a STANDARD for $800 ??

In my opinion an American Standard would be a step down from the Special. I have two of them and I think the special is awsome value for the money. Nothing against the American standard except the price.

When I bought my Special, I tried a bunch of Standards, too, and found every one of them lacking in sound and feel next to the Specials I tried. I wanted to like them - they're Standard, right? - but they just weren't as good.

I agree with you. To me, the American Special is a hot rodded version of the American Standard, more of a player's guitar. The reason I think the standard is about $100 more than the Special is the fact the American standard comes with a hard Fender molded case and the American Special comes with a deluxe fender gig bag. I think the price difference pretty much is on the hard case. Am I wrong?

BTW...I just ordered it from Zzound, but I ordered the candy apple red color instead of the two tone burst. Good choice in color? I also have a white American Special tele and that one is awesome. Down the road I may order the two tone burst American special strat.
