MGR/bill « Fender American Deluxe Fat Strat »
Published on 07/02/03 at 15:00I bought this guitar for $1220.00 at zzounds.com, it is aged cherry sunburst with a maple neck.
It sounds really bright and agressive whether your playing trough an amp or without. But especially through the amp this guitar is really hot, it responds to pick attack like nothing else. It can sound very rich and full, or really bright and whiney, and the humbucker sounds really cool when put with the middle pickup. The nut rocks and looks really trick, and its SUPER easy to restring, the tuners are awesome. Beautiful bridge and saddles, the strap locks are nice too. This guitar basically screams with quality, it is really the best guitar with the best parts. The hot noisless pickups rule, you can turn your amp all the way up and you cant even tell its on, even when you arent touching the guitar. Pop in whammy bar and abolone inlays. Great neck shape and silky smooth finish on the back of it, 22 frets, beautiful headstock with just "Fender STRATOCASTER" written in chrome on it. Simple looking and super intracate. Perfectly in tune on every note, no buzzing, fast action, oh man, i could go on for pages about how great this thing is.
ABSOLUTLY NOTHING.
solid, light guitar with BEAUTIFUL finish, seriously, spend the extra 150 for the ash body, the blue that the ash comes in looks really neat, but the aged cherry sunburst almost makes you want to put the thing in a glass case and put it in the middle of your living room, because it looks AWESOME. very loud, solid guitar
get one, save up a lot of money, and get one
