Fender’s American Deluxe Series is as close as you’re going to get to Custom Shop quality without the big price tag. MADE IN THE USA with the best materials and top notch, modern features. The body is alder, a classic Fender tone wood. The modern C shaped, one piece maple neck features a 25.5 inch scale, 9.5 inch radius maple fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo frets. HSS pickup configuration consists of a powerful DH-1 Humbucker at the bridge, and 2 Samarium Cobalt Noiseless pickups at the neck and middle positions. A very versatile combo and made even more versatile thanks to Fender’s innovative pushbutton S-1 switching system. Locking tuners, roller nut and Fender’s single locking, 2 point trem round out the hardware. Cool appointments include abalone fingerboard inlays, a raised metallic headstock logo and gold pickguard. This example is finished in classic Montego Black, a hip color with small, subtle gold metalflakes in the ebony base. For many, this is the ultimate Strat!
I love Fender’s American Deluxe Series. Classic Fender good looks but with modern features and playability. This Strat has great feel and a nice neck. The pickups sound excellent and all electronics work great. This one’s clean too. It only shows some light pick and clearcoat wear as well as normal playwear. A good looking guitar. Comes in an upgraded Fender tweed hardshell case.
The American Deluxe Series is the answer to many players’ dreams. A top notch instrument with great features and good feel. A new one will set you back $1639 in stores. Save a couple bucks on a nice used one!
