2007 Fender USA American Deluxe Stratocaster Electric Guitar

Tone: This is classic Strat-land sound -- clean and even with an almost "acoustic" springiness to its tone, especially in positions 2 and 4. The addition of the push-in button on the volume knob gets you the additional pickup selections N+B and also N+M+B.

Feel: It's a pretty typical neck for an American Fender made in the last 20 years -- a slimmer C-shape to the profile with a 9 1/2" board radius. The frets are accurate and clean and it's a fast player.

Interesting features: The American Deluxe Strats have an extra fret on the fretboard, a modern 2-point trem design with rugged saddles, and a push-button switch that allows for extra pickup configurations on the volume knob. It also has locking tuners. This one's got a classic look to it, too, with a nice vintage-style sunburst that's set-off well by a mint green pickguard and backplate. The simple "spaghetti" script on the headstock is a nice touch, too.

Repairs included: It's had a quick setup and is ready to serve.
