94-97 were really good years for US Fenders, and I had several from that time.
To be honest, I don't like Sperzels or the metal nut. Regular tuners and plastic had a more organic sound. Also, stay with a plastic pickguard. The aluminum ones changed the tone a bit.
I think you'll dig it. Just figure out which pickups you like, and it's a keeper. Even the stock pickups weren't terrible, but with a swimming pool route, you can do anything you want.
Since you want Full Distortion, I recommend a tremspaced Custom if you go HSS.
There's always the possibility you'll need to flip the magnet around if the 2nd position turns into a nasally honk. And if the 2nd position isn't hum cancelling, pull the pickguard off again and swap the neck for the middle.

Re: 1994 40th Anniversary Fender American Standard Stratocaster
OK, the guitar Arrived.
it s SO SO SO SO SO SWEET.
the neck is simply amazing. do you guys, remember that blue fender reissue 1950 that i have? the neck is similar, just with THICKER Frets. i think they are jumbo the ones on that japanese fender were Meddium or small frets.
it came without the pickups. just the s-s-s- pickguard. i need to get a new pickguard routed for H-H .
a friend of mine is crafting a Wooden Pickguard.with birdseye maple top. and brazilian wood called Pau Marfim, the equivalent to Maple.
q
It Will Smoke!

Put in a Custom/Jazz Bridge in the neck. Try the Jazz bridge in neck sometime, and you'll never turn back.

Duncan Distortion is moderately tight, has mids (high mids), and is high output. The EQ curve is sth like that, B<M<T.

It's probably 3-piece. Mine is. Apparently, mine doesn't have the veneer because I can see seams where the paint has started to dip in to them a little. As long as those pieces are good pieces, once they are glued and clamped tightly together, they are one piece AFAIC. One-piece bodies are a lot of hype, IMO. Not every one-piece is great sounding, just like not every multi-piece sounds bad.

2003 Chandler/Warmoth Frankenstrat (has diff pickups in it now, '57 Classic/Classic Plus)
1994 Fender American Standard
2001 Fender Iron Maiden Strat (mine has a black pearl guard on it, that's how I got it)
1988 Kramer Baretta
I have another Strat, an import w/ large headstock. Just took pics the other day but they're not online yet except for a couple from last weekend's gig. Here's one of them.
I also have a Star body from the 80's and a Jackson style neck for it. It's not assembled yet. Needs some work done first.
Is this enough? LOL
