I had my American Fat Strat built to my specs. The HB is a Seymour-Duncan Pearly Gates, the middle is a Lace Sensor Single, and the neck is a DiMarzio HS-2. Five-way switching give lots of power options and infinite tonal capability. The alder body and maple neck offer a beautiful natural tone and sustain with quick action and smooth playability. It has a stock tremolo, but I use it sparingly as I incorporate a Dunlop Uni-Vibe, Crybaby, Little Big Muff, and Ibanez Tube Screamer for effects. I love my Strat. For a grand, it is worth a million!
