Stepping up from the American Standard series, the Fender American Deluxe Stratocaster tacks on a few extra appointments that appeal to higher-end sensibilities. Of course, the American Deluxe Strat has the traditional offset body, but includes Fender's Noiseless pickups, C-shaped neck profile with abalone dot inlays, and more. Deluxe Strats manufactured after 2004 also come with the S-1 switch which gives you more control over your pickup configuration. If you want more out of your American Standard Strat, the Fender American Deluxe Stratocaster might be for you.
