(More customer reviews)You need a professional help to get rid of fret buzz.. I was expecting that it was made perfectly, but it wasn't... tremolo bar and booklet manual is missing too. The good thing is, it sounds great.

Fender American Deluxe Stratocaster Electric Guitar, 3-Color Sunburst Rosewood Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I own a 2009 Fender American Deluxe Strat among several other guitars. This is by far the nicest guitar I've ever owned. Mine is 3-tone sunburst, and the finish is flawless. I searched carefully and couldn't find anything wrong with it. It's an absolutely beautiful guitar. As soon as I took it out of the box, I immediately plugged it in to give it a whirl. My wife was in the other room and said,"I didn't know you could play guitar that good!" This is after twenty years of listening to me play. The setup was perfect for me out of the box. I didn't need to adjust a thing. The frets are extremely smooth and comfortable for extended playing. The neck is narrow like most Strats, but it works perfectly for my small hands. The noiseless pickups are actually noiseless! There was none of the annoying hum I have with my cheaper Squier Strat's single coil pickups. With the S-1 switch, it has a lot of different pickup combinations that allow me to play in almost any style from country to blues to metal. I haven't even figured out what all it can do yet. I just know it can make a ton of different sounds.
I have nothing bad to say. This is an excellent guitar. It's a high end, professional guitar at a decent price. I recommend it highly.

In the newest evolutionary step for the American Deluxe Stratocaster electric guitar, it maintains its traditional look and feel while introducing upgrades that include three N3 Noiseless single-coil pickups that still produce their revered sparkle and snap andwith noiseless designno annoying hum. The S-1 switching system adds additional pickup combinations beyond those provided by a standard five-way switch including new combinations of series and parallel wiring for a dazzling array of tonal choice. The compound radius fretboard that modern guitarists demand ensures strings won't fret out even with extreme bending. Other improvements include the high-mass tremolo block that increases sustain; locking tuning keys; and a molded case with glass-reinforced latches and TSA locks. N3 Noiseless pickups N3 Noiseless pickups deliver the best of yesterday and today, because they deliver landmark vintage Fender tone and response without the hum that can plague single-coil pickups. Using an improved stacked coil-coil design, N3 Noiseless pickups are specially tailored for each Stratocaster and Telecaster pickup position. The insulated metal core of each pickup position type differs in thickness and composition for enhanced tone, and Fender has fine-tuned the sized, shape, and wire gauge of the coils to balance the magnetic responsiveness essential to great tone. N3 pickups represent a welcome return to the warmth and clarity of alnico magnets. An Alnico 5 magnet is used in the bridge position, Alnico 2 in the middle position, and Alnico 3 for the neck position.

Fender Standard Stratocaster HSS Electric Guitar, Lake Placid Blue Maple Fingerboard Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)In an earlier life, I was a rockabilly bass player--both upright and electric bass-- but never owned an electric six-string. Played acoustical six- and 12-string back in the folk music days of the 1960's. I saw this Strat on the Amazon site and the Lake Placid Blue paint job caught my attention. Since one of my favorite albums is Tony Joe White's "Lake Placid Blues" I thought this must be a sign from God. I clicked it into the cart and the rest is history. Now I'm an aging Swamp Rocker!
Out of the box this axe plays well and the sound is truly Stratocaster. Even my wife (a classical guitar junkie) even recognized the penetrating Strat sound. With a $500 price tag this little Fender is hard to beat. The gig bag is more than adequate protection unless you are planning on opening for the Stones at Radio City Music Hall and need to ship it to New York. :>)
Since my experience has been all acoustical, the Strat will take some 'getting used to' but I don't see that as a major problem and it certainly isn't the guitar's fault.
Anyway, I don't have any reservations about recommending this Fender.
So put one in your shopping cart and I'll see ya at Radio City Music Hall. We'll teach the Rolling Stones a thing or two!

Fender Standard Stratocaster HSS Electric Guitar, Candy Apple Red Maple Fingerboard Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I did what would make most musicians cringe... I bought a new guitar online, sight unseen, no testing, no trying. The only reason I did was because of Fender's reputation, not only for the main Fender brand, but also their careful attention to the Stratocaster brand. I was not disappointed! The guitar is beautiful! The red and white body looks stunning with the maple neck. The paint job and finish are flawless and arrived well protected with peel-off plastic pieces and a micro-foam covering. Everyone who picks it up loves it, not only for the look but also the feel and the sound. The action is good (not too high, not too low) and when paired with my Fender Mustang amp, this guitar sounds like a gem. The HSS configuration is perfect... I can't think of a reason why someone would go with fewer pickups. You can always turn off some of the pickups for different sounds, but if you don't have them in the first place then you don't have the option to get the full range of sound that they provide. Definitely get the HSS, you won't regret it! This has been a wonderful addition to the home for family and friends and is everything that the Stratocaster name is supposed to represent... beauty, quality, tradition, and terrific sound.
