Hi everyone. This is a great forum. I am a pro and play for a living. I recently acquired the new American Standard Strat (sunburst) and it's now my primary instrument; hands down. Very light, and stays in tune better than any Strat I've ever had. I only play maple fingerboards and this new version has a highly glassed (polyurethane?) fingerboard. Looks great and plays like a dream.

Thanks for the detailed explanation of the Delta Tone pot, by the way...I was wondering why it was kind of hard to turn back from the 10 position...now it makes sense. Duh.

Take care guys
