Here's a picture of the Journeyman before I installed the Gotoh V100N. I've actually done a lot of work to this guitar. Gotoh locking tuners, new Trem and a graphite nut. It's a great playing guitar. If it had a neck pickup, I'd probably use it a lot more. Lol

Re: NGD: AM Deluxe Strat
I think it compares nicely. It is a very well built guitar. I love the compound radius on the fretboard. The previous owner had it set with the action high enough to play slide on...lol. I put a fresh set of strings in and did a good setup and I'm really enjoying the guitar.
Played it at practice last night and my band mates commented on how good it sounded. I know a lot of people don't like the Fender N3 pickups, but I think they work just fine. Considering that I play hard rock through a seriously high gain amp, I think they sound Stratty enough. And I've always liked the Atomic humbucker. It's kinda somewhere in between the JB and the Custom 5. It's got a "blower" switch, but I honestly am not coordinated enough to use it. lol.

Re: NGD: AM Deluxe Strat
lol. Thanks. I dig the Charvel as well.
Fender calls it a "Passing lane" circuit. Basically no matter where you have the pickup selector, if you hit the switch it automatically goes to the bridge pickup and bypasses all the controls. It's a neat concept, but I'll just stick to the selector switch. Lol.

That is an interesting concept...but I would just stick with the regular selector switch too. lol
