hi juju...
the 60th Ann strat has special treatment to it, the workmanship is top notch, same goes to the hardware & electronics.
the Std models aren't any worse but the default pickups aren't too magical to make them very special, unlike the former's dedicated Tex Mex units. the rosewood fretboard Std models also display dry parchments but it's not the entire selection. in general, the Std models of today aren't the dodgy units say a decade ago, definitely worth the consideration for any Fender enthusiasts.
