Fender American Deluxe HSS Stratocaster quick demo

Is that Humbucker good as any of its kind or worse......?

@SstalkerS I guess that's a personal taste thing, I like it, but I haven't listened to a lot of other pickups I could use to replace it. I'm guessing a Seymour Duncan or something like that would be a step up, but it's not bad by any means.

Hi - I'm looking into the Am Deluxe. I'm trying to decide on the 3 single coils vs the HSS humbucker model. How do you like the HSS? I've read mixed reviews about it - some complain that the volume transition can be a bit drastic. Any feedback / thoughts would be appreciated...

[jazzaces294]

@SlideScreamer I really got the HSS because I already had a SSS strat type guitar. I like the humbucker for distorted parts, but for clean it doesn't really work that well. Volume change is noticeable, but I don't think it's that big of a deal.

are those the stock noiseless pickups? it does not sound like scn. your sound is better.

[jazzaces294]

@mojoefly Hey thanks! They're SCN. I use .10 strings, which might be the reason for the better tone, or maybe just the tweaked EQ and stuff.

mine starts with DZ9.same exactly like yours.thats why i thought yours is the 2009 model.anyway,nice cover.nice guitar too :)

[reehays]

@reehays The serial number starts with DZ6 and it has a little 60th anniversary thing on the back of the headstock so I think it's 2006...
