The Fender Deluxe Players Stratocaster offers a less expensive option for guitarists itching for the Strat feel without wanting to empty their pockets. Fender's Deluxe Series provides MIM guitars that have higher-end appointments, such as pickups and wood options, special finishes, and gold hardware. The Players Stratocaster in particular boasts a body made of ash with a maple neck and either a rosewood or maple fingerboard, as well as three of Fender's patented Noiseless pickups. Get Strat quality without breaking the bank with the Fender Deluxe Players Stratocaster.

Formerly known as the Super Stratocaster, the Deluxe Players Stratocaster began production in 2005, upgrading the Super Stratocaster's pickups for Vintage Noiseless Stratocaster pickups, which were just beginning to show up on Mexican made models. All other specifications, including the ash body, seven way switching, and slick aesthetics remained the same.
