If you had a choice which would rather have? Both are good guitars.

Nothing beats a great Stratocaster, nicely tweaked. :wink:

I have found I prefer vintage specs and appointments over modern ones... I'd take any AVRI over a deluxe model.

Think about it... Why are so many Custom Shop guitars more like AVRI then modern appointed guitars? Because the original design was perfect!

Well, one reason may very well be nostalgia. Other sentiments may be "mojo", another may be that the guitar is a piece of art by itself, and the look that the musician is going for is "vintage".

For me - nothing beats a modern American Strat - I love the feel, the sound, the "playability"....

I love a slow pentatonic A scale on a strat...triads just bending every couple of strings to induce a moan, pulling my heart right out of my chest and spilling into my amp.....

So....yeah, that......feel......

But that's different for everyone.

I have an import Agile Les Paul to rock out a bit (Ozzy, Van Halen, Aerosmith, AC/DC...)....but for me, every year the strat gets better.

The 2013 standard has custom 50's in it...and that will be my 40th birthday present to myself this summer.

um...did I mention that I vote for the strat? :wink:

Your hands, your emotions, and your "feel" for your guitar may differ.

That's a hard choice. Can I have both?

So you prefer a modern guitar with a vintage appointment... Pickups meant to sound like the original pickups from the 50's... :wink:

Yes! :D

For me - they've perfected what I want out of a guitar with the new MIA Standard Strat, and I'm sold (but not till Aug. 2013) - no Custom Shop necessary (assuming pro setup after purchase).

Among delux and vintage, are different sounds that are good and have them play.

Depends on what you want, how you want to sound and the sound is searched.
