i just cant stand the single coil hum. I would rather have a noiseless pickup config. like the deluxe

Reviewed on October 5, 2009.

Duke

Guitar has great features and first class components - replaced trem block with Schaller steel - even better. Pups could use change depending on style.

Finish Awesome - fret work and neck as good as I have seen.

Price keeps going up for both new and resale - thee is a reason. Not many mahogany Strats with these features, finish and tone.

Great tone, easy to play, full features, looks awesome, fair price - what's not to like!
