As a proud Strat owner, I agree with you Strat lovers also. I've had my American Deluxe for about 8 months now, and it has truly been a wonderful 8 months. It's got 3 Vintage Noiseless pickups in it. Good tone. I wouldn't trade my strat for the world. Nothing like coming home, and just picking it up and playing all night. No what I mean?
