Product Description

Fender have always been a great choice for those who want a versatile tone machine at a great price. Now they are adding even better value to their Mexican made line with the Deluxe Stratocaster that features premium components and build quality at a price most guitarists will be able to afford.

Classic 70's Strat Design

While the features on this guitar are about as modern as you can get on a Strat the look is still very 70's. With its slightly flatter body and oversized headstock this guitar still wears its history proudly while realising that there is a lot that has been improved in recent years.

Noiseless Pickups

Normally the Fender Noiseless pickups are only available on some of the highest end USA made guitars but now they have made their way to Mexico. Fitted in this guitar you have a set of the classically voiced Vintage Noiseless pickups that combine real vintage single coil tones without any of that annoying buzz or hum that you get on regular single coils.

In the bridge position you get something a bit different with a Twin Head Vintage humbucking pickup. This allows you to get much hotter tones with a rounder midrange that suits some heavier styles. This can then be switched to just activate the rear coil for true single coil tones in all positions.

Locking Hardware

As they are improving all of the electronics why not take a look at the hardware as well! So now this guitar has a more modern 2 point synchronized tremolo which matches classic saddles with modern performance. Combine that with an asymmetrical neck plate for better neck access and locking short pole machine heads and you have a really stable guitar without the limitations of older designs.

Here's what Fender say about the Deluxe Strat

Fat, hard-rockin' sound and elegant Fender style unite in the Deluxe Strat HSS, a versatile tone machine with power to spare. The rich, warm humbucking bridge pickup adds a touch of thickness to the instrument's voice, while special electronics ensure traditional Strat tone is close at hand; ready to go at a moment's notice. A time-tested performer on stage and in the studio, this graceful performer with smooth, comfortable playing feel will easily handle any sonic needs that arise. Two noise-free, highly articulate Vintage Noiseless pickups inhabit the neck and middle positions, cranking out traditional, crisp Strat tones. The Twin Head Vintage humbucking pickup in the bridge position has moderate output, warm tone and even string response, as well as including a thick aluminium base plate to reduce magnetic interference. For traditional Strat tones, simply tap the S-1 switch atop the volume knob to select the rear coil of the bridge pickup-voila, instant classic Strat sound. Enjoy smoother travel when using the tremolo bridge, thanks to the modern two-point synchronized design, which includes bent steel saddles for classic aesthetics. A contoured neck heel and 4-bolt asymmetrical neck plate make it easy to comfortably reach the upper registers of the neck. The flatter 12"-radius fingerboard makes it easy to play fast leads and perform deep bends without fretting out. Locking short-post tuning machines provide increased break angle at the nut for buzz-free playing and enhanced tuning stability, along with quicker string changes. Sporting authentic Fender style and versatile sound, the Deluxe Strat HSS is the ideal instrument for players who need a variety of tones for the stage or the studio.

Mr Kshithij Rai9th Nov 2020

Eveything about the guitar was great but neck was little misaligned and the screw was loose. I had to push it back to place and tighten the screw.

Guitar bought in the January sale and it's a lot of instrument for the cash. Plus points are the noiseless single coils, the splittable humbucker and the locking tuners. Satin neck has a wonderful feel and the 70's style headstock is a nice touch. It has a real quality feel about it. The finish is really good. Only downside? I restrung after arrival and there was a bit of set up required to get the action lower. It was set far too high but this would have been the manufacturers doing. Pickups were also set far too low into the pickguard. Overall I am very happy with the instrument and Andertons service.

A great guitar at a good price. It was just what I was looking for, and Andertons gave me a good P/ex on my old guitar so very happy all round!

Trusted Customer4th Feb 2018

Wonderful feeling and sounding guitar. The satin neck is a delight to play, the noiseless pickups do their job as well as sounding great and I love the ability to coil split the humbucker. At this price this guitar is good value due to the build quality and versatility - I can't imagine an American Strat could be much better than this...

Mr. Daniel Davenport18th Nov 2016

This guitar was very nice. It did need a setup but as it's not a high end guitar I did expect that. Overall very pleased with all gear that I have had from andertons

Mel12th Aug 2016

Stunning to look at and has a great sound. You get an awful lot of guitar for the money. Highly recommend.
