My last candy order from Sweetwater.Believe me, I spent A LOT on Sweetwater candy, but it always comes with some really cool free stuff.
I got this with one candy order a few years ago.

I’ve only ever seen it at Sweetwater...... once. Not sure what that means. It’s a MIM. It’s basically a standard Strat. Ash body. Maple neck and board. It has a push button between the tone pots. Push it and it brings the bridge pickup into the mix in positions 4 and 5. In essence. Sorta becomes a seven position switch. I added the pearl white pick guard and the knobs with abalone tops. Also swapped the saddles and string trees.That Strat is confusing me. What model is it?
Interesting. The only MIM Deluxe Strats I have seen had 6 screw trems. I guess they changed that at some point.I’ve only ever seen it at Sweetwater...... once. Not sure what that means. It’s a MIM.

Edit: Officially, it’s called a Fender Deluxe Strat. It might have been a very short lived offering.... as in, I might have gotten lucky. Check out this link: Fender Deluxe

Thank you. I was not in the market for a new guitar in general or a Strat in particular. Then I saw this model at Sweetwater.... don't remember catalog or online. And I got me some serious GAS. As I look into it now..... I may have a unicorn on my hands. I get the feeling there were not many made. It just got even cooler.Interesting. The only MIM Deluxe Strats I have seen had 6 screw trems.
