NGD- American Deluxe Strat V Neck

FFXGuitar · 10-24-2009, 08:47 PM

Picked this up using Craigslist, found a great deal. S-1 Switching, noiseless pups, v-neck. I got it in a real nice color. I had been between this and a Fender Hot Rod '57 Strat. I absolutely loved the '57 strat. But I was even more impressed with the Deluxe. Great guitar, one of the best I have ever played.

I suggest this guitar to anyone looking for a high end strat, the craftsmanship and sound is comparable to CustomShop quality.

And as I side note, if there is anyone viewing this thread who has never picked up a Fender guitar- do it. Not only will you never regret it, but you cherish it. Fender is a true gem brand name.

The finish is Honey Blonde with Anodized Copper pickguard. srry for the low quality pics.

Congrats! How do you like that S1?

rudarb · 10-25-2009, 09:14 AM

Thats sweet, Clapton has one like that, I love how the maple looks on the neck.

rideski · 10-25-2009, 09:34 AM

Sweet lookin axe! Congrats.

FFXGuitar · 10-25-2009, 02:39 PM

Thanks. I love the S-1 switching. I was thinking of getting the HSS model, but I thought a strat with an humbucker looks weird, and remembered that the S-1 switching can get me the middle pickup in series with the bridge pickup, giving it a full humbucker sound. Its really great.

The guy said it was a Honey Blonde finish, and it looked almost like white with a gray tint in his pic, but when I saw it, it was a nice subtle tan. I love it!

Thanks, lefty!

Nice guitar! White strats are awfully pretty. I've found the S1 to be a love hate relationship. Either people love them or hate them. Last year I purchased a new Am Deluxe without really playing with the S1 and found I didn't like it ad never used it. To my ears it sounded like a turd. Finally got tired of it and replaced all electronics w/RS vintage kit and new Fralin pups. Made the sound go from ok and thin to really nice, thick and warm.

That indeed looks great. Theres just to many damn nice color combanations, gives me constant GAS for which there is only one medication, NGD-slow release.

FFXGuitar · 10-30-2009, 05:34 PM

haha thanks a lot!

ghost driver · 10-31-2009, 11:43 PM

Nice guitar indeed. I have the V neck Deluxe in two tone sunburst. The V necks are to me the best feel. It's true most of us either love the S1 or don't use it. Honestly I don't use it. Same with the Noiseless pickups love or hate. I happen to like them. Truth is, like the electronics or not the Am Duluxe Strat is very well put together. The tuners are second to non. The "fit n finish" is in my opinion Custom Shop quality.
