so in a few months im gonna buy a fender strat, but im not sure on which one to get, i have narrowed it down to a American Stratocaster or a deluxe American stratocaster. is the deluxe worth the extra cash$?

    I agree. Get the American Standard. And I also agree that the Fat Strat is a nice option.
    ...and if you don't like it, you can suck on an egg.

    thanks :D

    the guitar sounds kick ass and the pickups are VERY GOOD but if you want to make it more of a warmer sound change the humbucker to a seymor duncan...my friend did that to his fat strat (he got one after i got mine) and it sounds even better...but again the american strat is what? 1000$? for 400$ the fat strat is fucking awsome, i like my fat better than the american strat...add a seymor duncan (if you want, i havent done it) and you will be very very satisfied

    i tend to go for single coils more than humbucker though, i have a 1987 japanese squier stratocater with texas specials, sounds awesome, but i want an american one too. I have played mates' guitars with humbuckers and didnt find them to sound as good as single coil guitars.
