Members krisnrg Posted October 12, 2009 Members Share Posted October 12, 2009 I've might be in the market for a new guitar. Originally I wanted to order a Carvin but I can't really afford one right now. Then I thought maybe I can get a Fender American Strat cause Americanmusicalsupplies.com will give it to you for 4 payments. But I saw these and they seem like a good deal... Only they have the color a want and come with fender noiseless pickups... Anyone have ny experience with these? How do they compare with the American Standard strats? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MichaelSaulnier Posted October 12, 2009 Members Share Posted October 12, 2009 They're nice. Frets99 has one, and a number of others here do as well. Most people are pretty happy... but remember, that while the sc noiseless pups sound good, it's not really a true vintage sc tone. It's actually a more modern sound inho. I have these in my American Deluxe QMT strat, and I really like them... but if you are seeking the "classic vintage" sound... these aren't the pickups for that.

Members NinjaModder Posted October 12, 2009 Members Share Posted October 12, 2009 I have one. Get it. It is amazing. I played it up to a standard American. There is another reason I bought my Deluxe Player's Strat instead of an American besides the price difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GCDEF Posted October 12, 2009 Members Share Posted October 12, 2009 I had one. Sounded good, but I could never get the neck set up as well as I like and I wasn't crazy about 21 frets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frets99 Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 She's a terrific guitar. Built as well as any MIA IMHO. Beautiful neck, ash body, Noiseless pickups that sound as sweet as most any pickup you're going to find. I'd keep in mind that I don't believe the best noiseless pickup will sound as good as the best 60 cycle hum pickups but these do a damn good job of it. Plus, your guitar is quiet when you're not playing! I add a touch more bottom to my amp eq when I play this one to get the full bodied rawk. But you will be pretty hard pressed to find a sweeter glassy tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frets99 Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 roadhouse lonestarthose are better IMO, check'em out These guys are terrific guitars as well but stock, their pickups are voiced hotter than the Deluxe Player's. I find the DP has a more vintage strat tone while these guitars are of the hotter, more modern, texas blues variety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JC777 Posted October 12, 2009 Members Share Posted October 12, 2009 They are great guitars. I love mine. Great guitar for the money, what I paid, not sure what they are going for today. Like MS said it's not a true vintage sound. But they have a good sound that's noisless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
