I can assure you it cant blow away my American Deluxe HSS with Floyd Rose installed.
Not to mention mine doesnt look like a Sammy Hagar guitar either...just sayin.


Each to their own. Personally, I couldn't care less about Sammy Hagar- not that he played. Eddie Van Halen and others, yes. On top of that, it's really what we do with the guitar in our hands that counts.

Being an owner of a Deluxe also, Strat Ultra, Standard Floyd HSS Strat and a Heartfield Talon V, (my HSS/HSH stuff) for my style- I like to delve into early80's & 90's here- even taken the fact of the pickups and the overall configuration of the fore mentioned guitar -pretty much nails the spot for me.

If fender did a similar shape with direct mounted H H pickups and 22 fret config with a Floyd Rose and jumbo frets that would be sweet- but they don't. Not a lot of other brands do it either except for Charvel and Kramer. What I like my not be someone else's cuppa tea. And except for my Talon, none of my strats would stand up to the plate without new pickups.

The fact that it has a Ferrari red finish seals the deal too :mrgreen:

Not to discount what you have, which is an impressive & fine guitar. When it comes to that type of thing for my style, it just doesn't entirely fit the bill for me- which is what our discussion topic is about :)

Yeah, a lot of comprehension problems and hate here. :lol:

My CS Charvel still plays nicer than my Fenders, which also do play really nice.

And, I think I have Fender covered in my lineup well enough... :lol:

edit: Oh, and the white Fender Stratocaster is really a real rear loaded one hum Floyded Factory Special Order guitar. Looks a lot like a Charvel, doesn't it? :lol:

MIne of course.... :lol:

Here's a video I put together this afternoon using my keyboard, p-bass, and MJT strat. I played an looped all the parts around the bassline that I came up with... the piano track got buried under the organ but I think it came out OK.

Coincidentally, my #1 is a 1988 US Standard, gun metal blue metallic. If the house burns down that's the one I'd run in to rescue.

I'd do the same for "Moby"!
You gotta rip that one out of my dead hands when I'm gone!

Yeah, MIJ FSO. Really limited run, probably 10-20 units... it plays really well and is the only maple neck guitar I've ever really gotten along with.

A vintage guy playing through a Line 6. :lol: Your opinion really matters while you're looking in the mirror pretending to be SRV or Eric Clapton... :lol:

I'd post all my guitars in my sig like you, but I don't have enough room. :lol:

The fact Im discussing this with a guy in a bunny suit is kinda disturbing but... I dont play Clapton or even SRV. My style is a little closer to Zakk Wylde and John 5 but Im sure your cooler than them too right?

Really? I just like guitars that sound and play well... the brand loyalty/ignorance doesn't matter to me.
