Who plays music?

They really are amazing guitars.  I will say that some people who love traditional Fenders may need some time to get used to them.  And some people who just love a vintage feel may not dig them up as much.  

The stainless steel frets definitely give them a brighter tone which may throw some people off at first.  But for anyone that isn't shy about using their tone knob wouldn't have any problems.  They're meticulous set up with low action and almost no relief.  I actually added relief and raised the action a hair.  It's was too low, and played almost too well for my liking if that makes any sense.

I'm pretty just like you.  I'm on a HSS strat almost all of the time.  It's almost a neccessity for me because I love playing in Eb and well, there's no better guitar for that than a strat.

I'm down just an HHS USA Fender and my trusty old Les Paul which I really should play more.  

I'm not sure if you check out "What You're Listening To Now" music thread.

I just posted some vids of Big Wreck playing at a Surh showcase from 2015.

That guy Ian Thornley is pretty damn talented.

They're definitely a better live band than on album.  More life to their music.


Anyway, back to the strats.  I have a Deluxe plus a special run Select model and they're different.

The black deluxe one has noiseless pickups in it which is nice when playing in places with varied electrical noise.

The red transparent one is a mahogany body and has Texas singles with a Diamondback humbucker.

I actually like that one better than the black strat which I mainly play.  The noiseless helps tons, but also rob you of some of the good high frequencies.
