$1,600 · American Deluxe Stratocaster

2005 American Deluxe Stratocaster is a beautiful guitar, built with incredible attention to detail, everything is smooth, with no sharp edges, no buzzing, I just can find no flaws whatsoever. Compared to standard American Stratocaster, Deluxe has noiseless pickups (to control unwanted feedback) and thanks to S1 switch, its tonality is expanded from traditional 5 to 10 sounds overall, all very usable sounds. Some "fat", very interesting and modern sounds, while the classic sounds are all still there. Dream to play, outside of Custom Shop Strat, it's tough to imagine a better Stratocaster!
