Are they replacing the Standard then?
It's funny that treble bleed is being highlighted as a big new feature, I wonder if everyone reading that know it's a 50p mod lol
(Sounds like the old Strat bridge covers...)
It just goes over the brass saddles. The bridge plate is "vintage" height by the saddles and then dips down lower.
They will be on the site on Wednesday I believe.

I preferred American Series with the milled block saddles.
But I am a traditionalist, set in my ways, grumpy old man.
I wonder if the AV series is due a revamp?
I noticed no body contours on these as per the previous model USA Std Tele.
Narrow-Tall frets too.
I'd like to try one to see how it feels more than how it sounds.
It's going to sound like a Tele i reckon !

The Humbuckers in the Strat and Tele are new Shawbuckers too.

It's (To me) the way a Strat should always have been. I might have liked them more in the past if it had been.
The new neck is great, feel like my PRS.
The new frets are stunning. I found that the best part of it. Narrow/Tall Apparently.
Pickups are very good.
Very clear, i only played clean but it was really powerful for what i remember a clean Strat to sound like. Punchy but still really articulate and nothing like cheap, standard production types.
The whole thing felt amazing and i can't believe i'm typing this about a Strat.
(For those that don't know me personally, i fell out with Strats some time ago and have been anti-strat ever since).
It might only be a small change but to me it's made a huge difference.
Well done Fender.
It's still a bit expensive but as everything goes up in price it's not something that would stop me buying one.
Used it's a stunning prospect.
