New guitar - Deluxe Player Stratocaster

[rotren]

Here is a video of my new Fender Deluxe Players Strat (http://www.dolphinstreet.com/video_clips/video-41.php). I am pretty happy with this guitar, and although the vintage noiseless don't so completely "true vintage", I still think they sound quite nice. It's good deal, this guitar.

Comments, sounds good? I use a delay, a clean boost and an OD pedal here and there on the clip. Amp is a Reverend Hellhound.

Sounds great, great playing also.

I am intersted in these guitars, these are the ones with the 12'' radius neck right?

How does the neck feel to you, generally speaking? How about the sound of the guitar acoustically, does it ring out? From the clip, it would appear that it does.

thanks,

Sounds like you've got a winning combination there! I've never owned a strat but have been thinking of picking up a '62 RI or something along those lines... I enjoyed your playing and sound.

Very soulful playing there! You are really loving that Strat. Sounds good from here. I get the same feeling playing my 83 Strat Elite:BEER

Sounds killer, and quite noisless, great playing too.......

I used to have one of these (transparent blue with maple neck) and loved it but ended up having to sell it to help fund my CS-356 purchase :( I swapped out the pickguard on it to something funky (much to my wife's dismay!) but it was a great playing (and sounding) Strat... I hope to get another one sometime.

The neck is really good. It is a 12" radius, something I am new to. I sometimes feel like my hands have to work harder since I'm used to 9.5" necks, but I am adjusting. It is easy to play this neck.

The sound is great acoustically. It seems like the neck helps with this. The guitar just rings very well acoustically.

Thanks! :)

I've got one of these, it's fantastic. I don't have the vintage noiseless pups, I don't really know what they are to be honest. The neck date says it's a 1998, *shrug* I took the neck off and sanded most of the clear off, it's one of my favorites now. I don't even notice the 12" radius, as my other 2 guitars are PRS, also 12" radii. I'll tell you this, it's without a doubt the heaviest strat I've ever owned.

Hey, Robert! Great sounds as usual.
