Surely nobody around here actually believes that any artist really uses their signature American Standard model unmodified, do they? Well, maybe Tom DeLonge...
I wasn't saying he plays it un modified, infact what I was saying is it impossible to tell what they are doing with there guitar from one day to the next as they change more often than you could roll yours eyes at. And I owned a 92 Malmsteen and the bridge is HS3 the middle is an American standard reverse wired and the neck is Hs3 with a 5-way switch. Who cares about Tom Delonge?
