Fender American Deluxe Strat | 3 Colour Sunburst | Maple

Fender's American Deluxe Strat gets an overhaul for 2010 to truly bring it into the 21st century! With the modern guitarist in mind, Fender have included a compound radius fretboard, N3 Noiseless pickups and a revised switching system making this perhaps the best-feeling, best-sounding Strat ever!

Here's what Fender say about the new American Deluxe Strat

Tone ... Tradition ... Innovation. Fender's new American Deluxe Stratocaster has all the modern features today's guitarists require. A compound radius fretboard allows effortless string bending anywhere along the neck, and new N3 noiseless pickups provide improved Stratocaster tones for sparkling bell-like chime with no hum. Reconfigured S-1 switching offers other distinctive tonal options; other features include staggered locking tuners, two-point synchronized American Deluxe tremolo bridge with pop-in arm, and beveled neck heel.
