A Deluxe Stratocaster for the 21st Century! The American Deluxe Stratocaster® is a stunning example of contemporary FENDER® craftsmanship! It features three brand new Samarium Cobalt Noiseless™ single coil pickups and the versatile S-1 switching system for an endless array of both vintage and modern tones. The select alder body is finished with a gorgeous amber stain. Other features include a deluxe two-point synchronized tremolo with pop-in arm, a modern "C"-shape maple neck with a rosewood fingerboard, abalone inlays and 22 medium jumbo frets. Fender American Deluxe Stratocaster at a Glance: Select alder with amber stain and polyurethane finish. Four-ply brown shell pickguard with aged plastic parts. Three Samarium Cobalt Noiseless Strat® pickups with S1-switching. One-piece maple neck with modern "C" shape and rosewood fingerboard. Looks As Good As It Sounds Though the original Stratocaster was first introduced more than a half century ago, it's more popular now than ever, and the American Deluxe Series instruments are the end result of 50 years of evolution. This new guitar takes the Stratocaster right into the 21st Century with that sleek, supple Strat design over a select alder body with a sweet amber stain and a jewel-like polyurethane finish. Each American Deluxe Strat features a special matching pickguard. In this case, the amber finish is beautifully complemented with a four-ply brown shell pickguard along with special aged plastic parts. The Trademark Strat Sound... and More The original Strat had three single coil pickups, but the American Deluxe substitutes three specially-designed Samarium Cobalt Noiseless single coil pickups, so you also get instant access to all those classic, glossy Strat tones with a simple flick of the five-position blade switch. But there's more here than meets the eye! By simply pushing down on the volume control, you can access the bold new sounds available thanks to Fender's exclusive S-1 switching. This gives you incredible new pickup combinations like the neck pickup in parallel with special capacitor and in series with the middle pickup. If you want a gorgeous Strat with both vintage and modern guitar timbres and features, you owe it to yourself to strap on an American Deluxe Strat! S-1 Switching Position 1. Bridge pickup in series with middle pickup. Position 2. Bridge pickup in parallel with special capacitor and in series with middle pickup. Position 3. Middle pickup in series with special capacitor (no tone control). Position 4. Neck pickup in parallel with special capacitor and in series with middle pickup. Position 5. Neck pickup in series with middle pickup. Fast Playing Natural Maple Neck Leo Fender wasn't afraid to "think outside the box" when it came to guitar designs. In the 1950s and well into the 1970s, the blond natural maple neck became almost synonymous with Fender guitars. While this American Deluxe Strat keeps the fast playing maple neck, it's now topped off with an rosewood fingerboard with a 9.5-inch radius. And in keeping with contemporary player preferences, the modern "C" shaped neck is finished in satin polyurethane. Fender American Deluxe Stratocaster Features: Color: Amber.
