Be on the lookout for this guitar to come on sale again. At the sale price, it's hard to beat the quality, workmanship, playability and sound. I tend to lean more toward the Gibson guitars, but have grown to appreciate the sweet natural clean tones of the Strat, especially in the 2 and 4 pickup positions. This guitar has all the upgrades you could want - locking tuners, noiseless pickups, smooth fret board edges, 2-point tremolo, etc. Mine came is with high action, but a few turns with the included truss rod and bridge saddle wrenches corrected that. At 4 stars only because you want to wait for the price to drop a little before pulling the trigger. Good luck and keep your eyes peeled!

A stratocaster shoulld and could be closer to 7 lbs . The stratocaster was designed for comfort and part of that equation is weight. Same problem plagued the product in the 70s. A little less goes a long way especially if your wearing it all day.

Finally bit the bullet and bought the strat. It looks and plays nice - just as expected. Haven't spent too much time swapping the sound cards, but I'm looking forward to testing them out more

Used a coupon code and got a NEW Fender American Deluxe Stratocaster Plus HSS (w/case) or $150 less than the cheapest USED one I could find on eBay! Set up was perfect, it plays like butter and sounds GREAT! What more cold be fairer?

Fender instruments have always been about great simplicity and convenient modularity-no other guitars are easier to personalize with new parts and hot-rodded features into truly individual declarations. The remarkable new American Deluxe Strat Plus HSS guitar is the next step in the evolution of that great tradition, giving you three humbucking pickup-equipped Stratocaster guitars in one with an innovative design featuring easily interchangeable personality cards" that instantly give you a wealth of versatile pickup and circuitry configurations.
One card comes in the guitar and delivers standard Stratocaster HSS pickup wiring; two extra personality cards are included and let you re-wire" the guitar with specialized pickup and circuitry modifications quickly and easily. Simply pop the color-coded cards in and out of the easy-access compartment in the back and you've just modded your Strat in record time. Further, the American Deluxe Strat Plus HSS features fully solder-less electronics that literally make other great circuit mods a snap.
Other fine features include a maple neck with comfortable modern C" profile and satin finish, compound-radius rosewood fingerboard (9.5"-14") with 22 medium jumbo frets, single-coil N3 Noiseless Strat neck and middle pickups, a Twin Head humbucking bridge pickup and five-way switching. The guitar also has a three-ply mint green pickguard and aged white control knobs, two-point synchronized tremolo bridge with bent steel saddles, Micro-Tilt neck adjustment mechanism, staggered deluxe locking tuners and nickel-chrome hardware. Accessories include a convenient carrying case for the two extra personality cards, hard-shell case, guitar strap, cable and polishing cloth. Available in Mystic Black and Mystic Three-color Sunburst gloss finishes.
