Strat Plus Series was introduced by Fender in 1987 and was the highest end production model next to Fender's Custom Shop guitars. Production was stopped in July of 1998. There was some transitional Strat Plus' in 1999 that were a mix of the new DX Strat series and the Plus Series. You can tell by the serial number, which started with DN9XXXXX and they also had a chrome Fender logo on the headstock. While some were sold as a "Plus" they were sort of a hybrid having Fender's new Noiseless pickups, yet retaining the locking tuners, roller nut and American bridge.
These went on to be the American Deluxe Strat Series.
The Strat Plus Series consisted of: The Plus, and then in July of 1989, The Plus Deluxe, and then the The Ultra in January of 1990. The Plus Series was a very good attempt to reclaim Fender USA's floundering reputation, as quality had drastically gone down hill under CBS's ownership.
All the Plus Series guitars had similar features.
The history behind the development of the Stratocaster Plus Series is quite interesting. We will discuss this in depth in a bit. As mentioned, the Series was going to be the first Fender Strats with the new Gold Lace Sensor pickups and the premier "roller-nut" designed by an English chap by the name of Trevor Wilkinson. By the way, when Trevor finally patented his roller nut, he was living in Australia! He later moved to the US and over the years worked with a number of guitar companies, and was responsible for many creative designs seen on guitars today. This nut was design to reduce the friction at the nut when using the tremolo. Locking tuners were also part of the Plus Series.
The first locking tuners on the Plus' were the Sperzel, then later Schaller.
The three major differences that set apart the Strat Plus guitars from American Standard Strats are the Locking Tuners, the Roller Nut and the Lace Sensor Pickups!
This guitar shows some wear on the body and on the frets. Major dings shown in the pics, other edge wear can be seen as well.
