Great tone with the humbucker it is versatile
Finish:
Had a ding on the guitar didn't notice until I had taken all plastic off its about 1/8 inch deep and ticks me when I look at it so check it well and I put dunlop strap locks on it and when removing top strap peg I noticed the hole was 2 times the normal size for screw and was filled with a piece of wood like a tooth pick and a lot of epoxy the hole was about the diameter of the base of the strap peg I guess that was another thing I did not like
Action:
Ok some tweaking was needed

Sweet Sounding Guitar!!
Sound:
Great Tone, Clean or Distorted
Reliability:
Great so far!
Overall:
Great guitar, love everything about it, it took time to look for the perfect guitar, so I did my homework and got this one and I love it. If any change I would make would be to put in the Fender Locking Heads. But other that it's perfect!
Playability and Feel:
Plays & Feels Great
Tone:
You can figure out what tone you like with the 5 selector switch. I use all of them for certain songs.
Finish:
One reason I bought this guitar was the finnish, I like how you can see that great wood grain.
Action:
Action was very low

Quality Control is lacking but it is a nice playing guitar
Quality:
When I removed the pickguard, I noticed that the holes for the screws had in some instances been drilled twice! It's like the first hole wasn't matched up correctly with the pickguard so it was re-drilled. I was pretty disappointed in this. The small dent on the guitar was something that probably happened after the factory, but the misplaced screw holes was definitely something that happened during production. I would have sent this guitar back to AMS had I not had to play it that weekend. Also I bought the guitar to be a player so although it wasn't perfect, the fact that it plays great is all that I care about. I just think that for the price Fender charges, they should put out a better quality product.
Sound:
I immediately swapped a Seymour Duncan JB in the bridge so it sounds great.
Reliability:
Unknown. I've only had it a couple weeks.
Overall:
Nice playing guitar with a few quality issues.
Playability and Feel:
The neck felt great. Smooth and fast....My other guitars have rosewood fretboards but this maple feels just as comfortable.
Tone:
Bright sounding with the maple neck.
Finish:
Nice paint job other than the dent in the top.
Action:
Needed a set up as I swapped DR 10's on it.

This thing is awesome
Quality:
These guitars are buit to last a lifetime, I checked it over when i got it and couldn't find 1 thing wrong, it's perfect.
Reliability:
Only had it a week, but I have an 2003 standard, and it plays just as well as the day i got it
Overall:
Perfect dont wait any longer to get one, fast shipping, easy pay, what else could you possibly need for and incentive.
Playability and Feel:
Neck feels great, fast and smooth. Everything is at your finger tips. There is not a more comfortable guitar out there. I have 4 or so different brands of guitars, but this is the first one i grab.
Tone:
Tone is awesome, the humbucker rocks, and the tex mex singles really give you a wide variety of tones for whatever your playing
Finish:
Blizzard Pearl is awesome, when the stage lights hit it, it shines like a million bucks!!!
Action:
Action was pretty close to the way I like it. Just a few adjustments and we were in buisness
