Description of Fender Deluxe Fat Strat: made in Mexico. 2 single coil pickups, 1 humbucker at the bridge, Floyd Rose locking tremolo, standard tuners.
Tone of Fender Deluxe Fat Strat:
Comments about Fender Deluxe Fat Strat: Extremly suprising bright tone. I play through a Fender Prinsten 65 amp, and the sound is perfect. Humbucker adds just the right amount of kick. One can easily jump from 'Little Wing' to 'Crossroads' with almost zero effort.
Quality of Fender Deluxe Fat Strat:
Comments about Fender Deluxe Fat Strat: Nobody could have convinced me that a Mexican Strat would be this good. Feels as good as any guiar I've ever played. Pleasantly heavier then most, the only problem would be with the Floyd Rose tremelo, which is strictly a matterof taste.
Overall Opinions of Fender Deluxe Fat Strat:
Pros: Great blues guitar, perfect for any serious blues picker, almost a steal for the price. Great for Clapton type music sets.
Cons: Not a remarkable metal guitar, and Floyd Rose can be a pain to restring.
