spylok: #fender_american_stratocaster_hh_hard_tail I own the 2003 Ameican hardtail model, in silver with a white pearl pickguard, that does not have the S-1 coil switching system. Its rocking a seymore duncan jb in the bridge and a seymore duncan pearly gates in the neck position. both in all white. I cant say enough good things about this guitar! First of all it holds its tuning great. Switching between positions 1,3, and 5 on the pickup selector bring out three completely different guitar sounds. The bridge position is raw and tight with great midrange control and is raw enough for even the heaviest of metal. the center position beckons the bell-like single coil sound that single coil strats are so well know for and make the blues sound even bluer. and the 5th position is smooth, sultry, and tight and really makes for some fun soloing on a fully driven tube amp. satin neck and rosewood fingerboard make tis guitar extremely playable and fast. the neck is butter. I've had this guitar for 8 years now and would say that i'm extremely pleased with this instrument. Its definitely a versatile axe. I play a wide range of styles from jazz to death metal and it accomodates all my needs. I haven't found another strat that plays or sounds better. if you can find one, BUY IT! Apr 1, 11
