Fender American Deluxe Stratocaster Electric Guitar  

Excellent pick ups and S1 control gives huge selection of tones. Beautiful feel and look to guitar.

A couple of flaws in the paint and wood work let it down but plays beautifully and feels wonderfull.

Certainly the N3 pickups are great for noise reduction.

Maybe a little over priced if it is a seconds guitar, would have been better in the "Gently Used" catogory.

It would have been 10 out 10 all round but as there was a paint chip/crack on the guitar body and rough wood patch on neck, I think it would have been better in the "Gently Used" catogory not "Mint" as this would have saved me around $100.

That being said I really appreciate the quick reliable service and especially the free frieght.

I would certainly buy from here again and recommend them. I think I might have just been a little unlucky that mine did not quite match it's description.

It is still a wonderful guitar and I'm proud to own a piece of classic Americana.

What can you say, a Fender is a Fender. A beautiful guitar. Has American quality all over it. Set up was perfect right out of the case. The finish perfect. Sound quality, it's a Fender. The N3 noiseless pick-ups work very well, they accomplished what they were intended to do.

What you would expect from an American made Fender. Excellent.

You get what you pay for. Guitar is priced just right for the quality you get and the Name behind it.

Guitar has so many versitle tones with the N1 Switching. The Fender sound is all over it.

There is NOT a non-usable tone in this guitar.

After playing Mexican strats, this guitar is SOLID!

I think it's a little high-priced, but it didn't stop me from buying it.

This is the best guitar I have ever played.  It just feels like it is made for me to play.  The balance is amazing.  It contours to the body, it has a comfortable neck.  It almost plays itself in some ways.  It rings when I play it. 

I really like the compound neck.  It makes a huge difference; when I'm playing low on the neck, it doesn't fret out.  The notes ring out more clearly than with any other guitar I own. 

I love that it stays in tune.  I have gone 3 days without tuning it.

Once everything settled in and the guitar is used to being played, it is just a great guitar to play.  I can pick her up and play her without having to continually retune and worry about how it sounds.

I don't feel worthy when I am playing her.

I have the Sunset Metallic, with Rosewood fretboard, and It's sexy as hell !

Love the S-1 Switching, Guitar came with very nice case and strap locks. The pickup are very good, lots of treble. Locking turners are awesome ! The only feature missing is a bridge with tuners on it. I may upgrade to a Floyd Rose. However the bridge that came on the guitar works fine, and stays in tune. It will only bend a half step though and doesn't really go up at all.

Quality on the neck, frets, and body are perfect. I had one very light scratch on the bottom horn, but nothing to worry about. Paint was wonderful ! When the Guitar came the bridge was set real high and the neck needed slight adjustment. I had the guitar professionally setup, and the man who adjusted it, fell in love. The string are now super low, with no buzz what- so- ever.

A bit pricey but worth it.

Over all I love the Guitar and would buy it again. I would recommend it to anyone. Fender has a winner here! I would also recommend Musicians Friends, Staff was very good on the phone and had my guitar send out right away, at a good price.

The American Deluxe plays incredibly smooth.  I have a Standard American and a Mexican Tele and have had to have them both set up to play like I like them.  But the Deluxe American came set up and the fingerboard plays like a dream.  The noiseless pickups deliver incredible tone and sustain. I am so impressed.

I can tell there is more quality in the finish and the feel of the American Deluxe by just holding it.

Good value for the price.  Is now my favorite player, even over the Country Gentleman.

The tremulo handle is a little hard to get used to, as it falls away when you let go of it.  I really like the locking tuners speeds up string changes and keeps the strings in tune even with the tremulo.
