2003 Fender American Deluxe Stratocaster – Tobacco Sunburst

Excellent condition 2003 Fender American Deluxe Stratocaster with original hardshell case. This one is exceptionally clean and clearly well cared for. Aside from two tiny scratches on the lower backside edge of the body (pictured), it is remarkably close to spotless.

Finished in a beautiful tobacco sunburst with a nicely figured maple neck and fingerboard. The factory SCN (Samarium Cobalt Noiseless) pickups were standard on the American Deluxe series during this era and were designed to deliver classic Strat tones without the traditional single-coil hum.

This guitar is also equipped with Fender’s S-1 switching system, giving access to additional pickup combinations and tonal options directly from the volume knob.

I honestly didn’t even bother polishing the frets or tweaking the setup because it simply didn’t need it. The guitar is already playing great as-is and presents extremely well.

Features include:

• Made in USA – 2003
• Factory SCN Samarium Cobalt Noiseless pickups
• Fender S-1 switching system
• 2-point synchronized tremolo
• Maple neck and fretboard
• Fender locking tuners
• Contoured heel for easier upper fret access
• Original Fender hardshell case included

A very clean example of an early American Deluxe Stratocaster before prices on these continue climbing. These guitars have become increasingly appreciated for their build quality, modern features, and noiseless pickup system.
