You have to hand it to Fender, when it comes to re-inventing the wheel, they are the masters. Lets have a quick recap of the American Specials unique features. Large 70s Style headstock, Grease-bucket tone circuit, Texas Special pickups and parchment coloured plastic parts. All designed to please the eye and the ears at a more affordable price than the USA Standard.
Played seated or standing this Strat is as comfortable to wear as the day Leo designed it. The guitars light/medium weight and contours make it feel like a natural extension of the players body. An acoustic strum sounds loud and lively causing the guitars body to vibrate the way all well assembled instruments do.
The Texas Specials are right up there in the tone department. To my ears they make a Strat sound extra "Stratty". They have good output and bags of tone and though some find them a little brittle sounding, I think that adds to their ability to cut through all the other frequencies flying around in a live situation. Clean, crunch or full on distortion, this guitar handles them all with aplomb. Fender set out to manufacture a more affordable USA Strat that looks great with sounds to match. Job done.

Again differences are 22 jumbo frets, USA Standard's use medium jumbo and Mexican Standards have 21. Texas special pickups, excellent slight hotter and fatter than the standard and a HSS version too. Vintage style strat bridge as opposed to the fulcrum bridge on USA standards. Brass 3 saddle vintage type tele ashtray bridge. Gloss urethane finish means the wood can breath and mature and the finish will wear in nicely unlike a tough polyester finish. Deluxe gig bag rather than a hard case.
