Subject:oooh doggy
Quality: Had it a few months now and haven't found any problems. These American Vintages are definitely given some extra love by the folks at fender.
Reliability: Not long enough to tell yet but i hope this thing lasts forever
Overall: Now my favorite guitar. This thing is perfect in every way for vintage tone and it just begs to be played constantly. Great as my second strat option too. Very different from the Am Std but in a good way. I don't need two guitars that are exactly the same so this one is the perfect change of pace.
Playability and Feel: Nice and light, very resonant body. And the neck, oh man, what a great neck. The soft v is perfect and even though i wasn't sure about the small radius when originally looking at this guitar, i have since changed my mind on the 7.25.
Tone: Great bright, clear tone with sustain to spare. Awesome 50's sound from the PU's
Finish: Love the thin nitro finish, definitely doesn't muddy up or hold the guitar back like a thick poly can. Couldn't resist buying an '08 Am Std just to get a newer sound with a nitro finish. Can't go wrong with the Surf Green either.
Action: The action was a bit higher than i was used to but i found out it is usually this way with the smaller radius and now i use the factory setup as my standard for this guitar without any problems. Intonation was spot on out of the box as well
