Fender Deluxe Stratocaster MN Sapphire Blue Transparent

High end instrument at affordable price. Unlike the Roadhouse model with S1 switch, this model has a truly natural original Stratocaster sound + 2 more combinations of pickups, which makes it really versatile. Noiseless pickups make it easy to recording in studio without any problem. Locking tuners are the real deal. Tuning is steady and string changing is a piece of cake. Overall quality is at very high level, so it feels like a "real" USA Fender, although is made in Mexico. Body finish is excellent, satine matt neck is fast and pleasant for playing, so yes, it's a genuine Fender. Not the cheapest one, but worthy of every cent invested. I love it :-)

Beautiful guitar, sounds great - noisless single coils a class for itself, good materials, good finish of all details. Factory setup is only thing spoiling overall good impression. I had to do full setup by myself and it was challenge for me especially tremolo bridge. I've done it finally and I'm proud of it :)
