Been lurking for awhile and finally decided to join in!

Figured it was an appropriate time to do it, as I just got a brand new NOS 2011 American Standard 3-tone sunburst w/ rosewood neck a few days ago. I am lovin' this Strat! What a great player. And the tone is incredible through my 1969 silverface Champ..

Got a great deal on her as well. :D

So, without further ado, here she is - -

Your guitar is capable to produce a variety of versatile sounds.

We'd expect a few sound samples and, if possible, a video showing this quacker in action!

Thanks, guys! Yep, she's a beauty and sounds even better ~ I really do like the alnico V pups - fantastic cleans with that Strat quack - especially on positions 2 and 4..

Not sure I totally understand the Delta Tone System with the "no-load" pots yet on this particular model, but I'm doing some research on this.. The bridge pickup (position 5) is definitely pretty hot when engaged, though..

I'll try to get a quick sound clip up - with it plugged into my '69 Champ in the next couple of days.

Have you already tried the post-2012 models with the Fat 50s?
