    pretty substantial as the deluxe has noiseless pickups and about triple the switching combinations.

    Get the Deluxe Ash. An amazing guitar!!! The pickups are noiseless, the S-1 switching system is fuckin great, you can get WAY more tones out of it as well as the classic strat sounds. The neck is extremly comfortable, and the sound is just amazing. The DA will be my next strat once I get rid of mine.

    i agree, ive got the deluxe ash tele, and my friend has an american series, and we played both of them thru the same amp(fender supersonic 112) and the deluxe was much better. well worth the price.
