The Fender Deluxe Series Fat Strat is an electric guitar made in the USA that has a three pick up configuration including two single coil pick ups and one double coil pick up. It has setting controls for volume and tone and also has a very cool whammy bar.
UTILIZATION
The overall feel of the Fender Deluxe Series Fat Strat is really good as it is a pretty easy guitar to play. I always like picking up this guitar because it feels good on the fingers and has an overall pretty fluid feel. It is suitable for playing rhythm or lead guitar without problems because you can access the top notes just as easily as the bottom ones. The guitar has the classic Strat body that has become so famous over the years and is also very light in weight and easy to carry around. Getting a good sound from the Fender Deluxe Series Fat Strat is a really easy thing to do as it has a great inherent tone, granted of course that you can play.
SOUNDS
The overall sound quality of the Fender Deluxe Series Fat Strat can be described as full bodied with a lot of rip and crunch to the tone. I usually use this guitar with a '76 Fender Twin Reverb amplifier and occasionally use an overdrive or delay pedal with it, but I love the clean sound that you get with guitar so most of the time I stick with that. I also love throwing on an overdrive pedal with this guitar as it really can rip for lead tones high up on the neck.
OVERALL OPINION
I've been using the Fender Deluxe Series Fat Strat for about five years and while it isn't as good as a standard Stratocaster in my opinion, this will certainly get the job done and then some. The price of this guitar is cheaper than most other Strats, which makes it an attractive option for players on a budget and makes it a very popular guitar. I think its definitely worth the price as you are getting a true Stratocaster for a very reasonable price. If you are a player on any level looking to get a great guitar at a good price, the Fender Deluxe Series Fat Strat is as good as any.
