The 50th Anniversary Fender Deluxe Stratocaster was made in the USA - it has 24 frets and three single coil pick ups. It has volume and tone knobs and has a five spot pick up selector to change the overall tone. Since it is made in the USA and is a Deluxe is truly made with the best parts and built perfectly.
UTILIZATION
The neck of the guitar feels just about perfect. It feel great all around the neck and it is easy to access the top notes. The weight is light and easy to carry. The classic start body and overall look to the guitar is truly awesome and is a staple of the guitar as an instrument. The inherent sound is beautiful and it is quite easy to get this sounding use.
SOUNDS
This guitar definitley suits my style of music which ranges from rock and pop to country and folk. I use this guitar primarily with a '76 Fender Twin Reverb and a slew of guitar pedals including delay, distortion and chorus. I also love just using a clean signal, as this guitar is crisp and full of life on the clean channel. Both the rhythm and lead tones on this guitar are vibrant. The Stratocaster has its own recognizable sound and this guitar is part of that level of quality.
OVERALL OPINION
I've had this guitar for about four years. It is the nicest guitar I have in my collection and I use it both for recording and for live shows. I love playing this guitar because the feel is extremely fluid and the sound soars to heights you can only achieve with a Fender Stratocaster. The price isn't cheap, but this is one of the better guitars out there and will exceed expectations. If you play guitar, you know what this guitar does and the chances are you either have one, or you wish you did!
