I’m totally agree with you. It’s a nice guitar this Mexican sunburst signature and it does its job completely. But I hope they will bring back the original American 57 strat with Dimarzio. It’s unfair that when it was on the market 10 years ago, I didn’t have money to buy it, and now that I could afford, it is out of stock for the market 😭

The first time I played a Hot Rail, around '86, I thought it was a mini Bill Lawrence 500. Quite a powerful little pickup. I put one in my strat so I didn't have to play my Les Paul which was backbreakingly heavy. It made my strat a lot less stratty, and that was the point.

Awesome guitar, I think I will save 300-400$/€ and go with the Player Strat polar white with black scratch plate with a HSS configuration and Floyd Rose, on that guitar you have like a recess slot under the bridge so that you can also pull out the trem arm a bit to also get the higher pitch which I like. I will go with the classic hot rodded setup and put a Dimarzio Super Distortion in the bridge and then go with a Fender noiseless "single" in the middle and then in the neck I am thinking about going with a Seymour Rail just like Dave has, awesome pickups. I am not sure what Floyd systems are in these player guitars but I am pretty sure it is the Floyd 1000 original which is what you really want and not that Floyd "special" imported system that breaks.
