Introduced in 1998, the USA made American Deluxe is a particularly interesting model featuring high end specification and finish reminiscent of the Custom Shop units without the price tag. Coming up to 20 years old, this one shows almost no playing wear and is resplendent in translucent Oly white with tortoiseshell guard, pearl dot markers, high spec tuners and the cobalt samarium noiseless pickups. A great smooth Strat to play.
