What is the difference between Fender's AMERICAN Standard Strat and just the Standard Strat.?

Besides where it is made.|||The American Strat is assembled with higher quality electronics and wood. The pickups are also higher end (the standard's are pretty weak). The tremolo is also a higher end version.|||It assembled in the USA and not Mexico is about the only difference. So instead of a mexican making like dollar a day to put it together you have Joe Sixpack making 20 bucks an hr. I would hope for more quality but the difference in price is quite a bit
