Fender American Deluxe Stratocaster [2010-2015]

See the other reviews

UTILIZATION

Good lutherie.Manche nice guy "modern c" improved: more end to the body. Talon planed therefore also improved access to acute.
For the rest it is typical stratovolcano with the added switch that brings five additional sounds. So there is a strato vintage and modern

SOUNDS

Versatility with 10 sounds from jazz to hard rock. The big sound of the lens with the switch.
The noiseless pickups deserve their name! However unless they slam texas special.

OVERALL OPINION

Improved the strato
Versatility

The -

The price (you pay for the logo). Between 1400.00 and € 1800.00

culmination of perfection in terms of comfort. Fender has done well off the beaten track with this model easier to play.

This is a more pro strat standart.C that is true

UTILIZATION

Agreements passed with ease, even if the string action is a bit high. Were made there quickly because the pitch of the guitar is bigger than a Les Paul.

SOUNDS

It's true that I'm going to change the pickups. The noiseless pickups are pathetic and this is nothing to say, especially in concert.
Too bad for the side without frying but his violin is very good I'll put it in simple Kami.

OVERALL OPINION

Setting has nothing to say apart micros.Je do not revendrais before many years.
I sold a Mex strat because of his vibrato pouri everything but for once there is very good ca agreement. Great

Guitar made in 2011 at the Uncle Sam Mine has an alder body and a touch (beautiful) maple.
see previous posts for description. I have no found no reportable default.

UTILIZATION

the handle is it fun? Oh, yes. Because the radius offset, the action is set very low without frieze. I owned an American Standard Stratocaster late 90s, compared to the deluxe action was mileage.

The maple fingerboard (on the model purchased) and models of selected frets allow the finger to slide the handle by themselves. is by far the fastest run / fun I've had the chance to test (compared with handles so-called rapid Vigiers, ibanez, esp, musicman or other Charvel). A true shoe: the sleeve looks like we've always played it. Everything happens seamlessly (no need to pass the technical parts in force).

access to acute is ok. No particular difficulty to access the latest frets.

Ergonomics is good (it's a Start!).

SOUNDS

The sound is perfect for my style. The N3 noiseless offer a very dynamic sound with a wide range of sounds. This layer can adapt to any style of music except metal.

No hum (thank you Mr. Lawrence)

Some purists might criticize the absence of the next vintage. I answered them that this series is designed for guitarists who want a Fender sound with a modern twist. Otherwise we must choose a model of american vintage series.

OVERALL OPINION

I play for nearly twenty years. I have had many guitars (fender, esp, Epiphone, Ibanez, Charvel, musicman, Vigier, etc. ...).

For me it is the stratum. It meets all my requirements (comfort, sound). I find it superior to the model of Clapton.

It is still expensive in Europe.

I regret not having tried this guitar before. I would have to avoid buying guitars that do not fit me.

American made in 2011 based on its serial number.
Three-tone sunburst alder body with two or three parts (I'm looking for three but am not sure)
Vibrato modern two attachment points.
Maple fingerboard with many hesitations between maple and rosewood.
22 boxes.
Three singles over N3 (Bill Lawrence from what I read on the net.)
5-way switch, one volume, two tones and S1

UTILIZATION

The handle is a delight, although I must get used to I'm more comfortable with a sleeve type LP (Profile 60's) or the wonderful round of the Epiphone Sheraton in 1993.
But back to the stratosphere: key offset radius of 9.5 at the beginning of a 14 to finish at the end!
The action is set to classic but I think we can go down again, I'd have to do the test.
The varnish of the back of the neck is a delight as the super silky touch that is certainly varnish (Maple forces) but the same varnish as the back: matt and silky.

Ergonomics, which is well established since the coup of 54 crayons engineering (although the form of precision bass comes out a few years earlier)
Good access to acute setting three points.

SOUNDS

I play mostly rock, fusion, blues and metal and some rhythmic funcky that I like. Stratum is to go in all the styles S1 provides additional configuration as the micro bridge and neck together: the cuckoo's big humbucker!
The N is far from noiseless make up the numbers: no noise, nothing, zero!

I play on a line6 spider Jam, but I must just directs me to the lamps in order to really exploit the potential of this guitar.

OVERALL OPINION

She is still young the ptiote (made in 2011) I think we must wait until it gets better with age, but questions playability, sound, instrument making big we are in!

I would have much stick a 10 but ....

Let us now look at things less funny .... In addition to traces of polishing on all these guitars they cost 150 € or 3000, I found parts of dark sunburst of white dots: it seems to be dust not removed before the final stage set varnish ... I am a bit manic and I admit it I still itches a little. In short if you try go for it's all good but beware the sunburst or dark colors, make sure the light spots of the store!
