COMMENTS
Replaces American Deluxe Fat Stratocaster - First Series
Replaced by American Deluxe Strat HSS - Third Series
American Deluxe Series Stratocasters built in 2004 will have a special 50th Anniversary commemorative neck plate.
American Deluxe Series Stratocasters built in 2006 will have a special 60th Anniversary commemorative medallion on the back of the headstock.
FENDER SAYS
All the refined features found on the American Deluxe Strat guitar, but brimming with beefy tone thanks to a Fender DH-1 humbucking pickup, the S-1 switching system and an LSR Roller Nut with locking machine heads. The two Samarium Cobalt Noiseless pickups (neck and middle) are wound extra hot for proper balance with the humbucking pickup.
