This American Special HSS Strat looks sharp and plays great! I was very glad to see Fender expanding the AM Special selections, because I was looking for this configuration with a maple neck. I've been Fender loyal since I was about 15, and the American Special series allows me to build a collection of quality guitars/basses at a not-too-crazy expense.Fender American Special Stratocaster HSS Maple Fingerboard Electric Guitar Black Maple Fingerboard

.It's all Stratocaster plus that extra kick from the Atomic Humbucker. Love the overall tone and classic Strat playability. The downside issues are fairly simple to fix... I replaced the tuners with Fender locking tuners. It should come with a case, not a cheap little gig bag. The single coils can be replaced, but for now I've adjusted the screws for pickup height. From player to player, opinions wilil vary about the neck; it's wider than your average strat. I bend strings a lot so it works for me. All things considered, it's a solid value.
