Product Description

The Deluxe Strat has a few tricks up its sleeve. Special switching unlocks extra pickup combinations for those moments you find yourself needing a little extra kick to stand out. Combining noise-free performance with enhanced playing comfort, this sleek instrument is a truly deluxe performer that excels on stage and in the studio.

Three Vintage Noiseless pickups offer all the clarity and articulation you’ve come to expect from Strat pickups—with no hum. A push/push mini-switch discretely tucked away between the tone controls, yet still easy to reach, activates the bridge pickup in positions four and five on the selector. Use the bridge and neck pickups together or combine all three pickups for flexible tone that can meet the needs of any song. Enjoy smoother travel when using the tremolo bridge, thanks to the modern two-point synchronized design, which includes bent steel saddles for classic aesthetics. A contoured neck heel and 4-bolt asymmetrical neck plate make it easy to comfortably reach the upper registers of the neck.

The flatter 12”-radius fingerboard makes it easy to play fast leads and perform deep bends without fretting out. Locking short-post tuning machines provide increased break angle at the nut for buzzfree playing and enhanced tuning stability, along with quicker string changes. Melding classic Fender style and sound with upgraded modern components, the Deluxe Strat is perfect for players who need a wide variety of authentic Fender tones on tap.

I changed the pickups to Seymour Duncan Hot Rails. Replaced volume pot with 500K potentiometer and Seymour Duncan tone pots. Replaced the cheap plastic nut with a real bone nut.
Replaced saddles with Graphtech saddles. This guitar is now a weapon.

Here's the not so good: Very low pup output, unusually low in fact. Perhaps a bad solder joint or short.
Fret buzz on first three strings
Neck movement in pocket
Fret ends not rolled
The Good: Trem system very good, stayed in tune well
Contoured heel nice feel
This one could have been a dud but compared to the G & L s500 I tried out a couple months ago this fender cant hold up. In every respect, except for the trem system the G & L is a much better product. Unfortunately for me the bad trem was a deal breaker.
