    Default New American Deluxe Series Guitars

    Any one heard of these? I've been reading but not posting, life and work gets in the way sometimes, I'll get y'all an update as soon as I can.

    Meanwhile, back at the ranch, whats the 411 on these?

    I have played and heard the SSS and HSS versions.

    I'll make this short and sweet the compound radius is very nice way nicer than I expected the total craftsmanship of the guitars overall on the 2 guitars I played were spotless excellent to perfect. The new N3 pickups sounded great clean and dirty. They where a treat a sheer pleasure to play sonically, visually, and feel. If I had the bucks I would get one for sure. I highly recommend them.

    Hearing what a great guitar player could make it do sold me even before I touched one. To bad I can not transfer my friends skill and talent into my fingers. LOL

    While I don't see buying an $1800 guitar too soon, I sure like the Deluxe Tele Ash.

    I like that 'passing lane' switch - and it's good to see they seem to be addressing some of the compaints about the S-1 switching (I have an '09 American Deluxe HSS and, for starters, there is no single-coil option in the bridge position . . . even though the pup is tapped since you can switch it into single-coil mode in conjunction with other pups . . . lame).
