Made in Mexico, Built to US vintage spec with US bridge/string spacing, vintage style tuners and head shape. "Beautifully adorned and classically contoured, the Deluxe Super Strat features an ash body, lightly tinted maple neck, gold-plated vintage style hardware, brown shell pickguard, and newly designed "Super Fat-Super Strat" single-coil pickups. Deluxe "Super Switching" gives you seven pickup combinations to choose from". Translucent Honey blonde finish that lets the grain show through, and a beautiful neck with lovely subtle figuring . Gold hardware which suits the overall look of this guitar. Nicely patterned tortoiseshell pick guard. Forerunner to the Deluxe or Classic Player strat, this one introduced the 7-way switching concept via the small push-button which adds the bridge pickup when pressed. This allows for the 2 additional settings of neck + bridge and all 3 pickups at once. The Super Fat Super Strat pickups were unique to this guitar and the originals are fitted.
