What a bunch of fun. I just picked up this cherry, mint condition, 1992 Fender American Deluxe Floyd Rose Stratocaster at a great price. It wasnt something I thought I was interested in but the price was good and the condition was pristine so I took it. It has an original Floyd Rose trem and factory original DiMarzio humbucker in the bridge. I assume the singles are American Standards but they sound really good. I plugged her in to my Cornford Hurricane for a lower volume jam session today and damned if I didnt have myself one hell of a good time!! I started out playing chunky blues and fusion stuff and ended up everywhere including old Van Halen chops!! I havent been inspired to play EVH licks in 15 yrs!! I have no idea what DiMarzio model the humbucker is but it sounds GREAT!! Very dynamic and responsive and cleans up very well with the volume knob. And has some of the sweetest harmonics Ive heard in years. Just goes to show you you dont have to spend $2500 to get killer tone and feel. This guitar sets in my collection next to more than a dozen others that I paid 2 or 3 times as much for and I enjoyed todays jam session as much as any Ive had for a long time. Tone, feel, vibe
its all there. What a diamond in disguise.
Oh... and I should give props to the Conford Hurricane while I'm at it. That little amp just sounds flat out amazing for many different style of playing. Killer amp without a doubt!!
