Fender USA Strat Plus Deluxe Sunburst Finish

Description: This Fender USA Strat Plus Deluxe is a top-of-the-line electric guitar that boasts a beautiful multicolor sunburst finish. The body is made of high-quality alder wood, while the neck is crafted from maple. This guitar comes equipped with 22 frets and a 6-string configuration, making it perfect for any right-handed player. The Blue Lace Sensor has increased output compared to theGold Lace and has a warmer P-90 Gibson flavor to it. I like to use it on aclean amp setting for a powerful, rich, smooth blues or jazz sound. Withdistortion, it can be silky smooth with no raspy edges. The Silver Lace Sensor gives a fatter vintage ’70s Stratsound with a little increased output and more midrange. This pickup works greatin switch positions #2 and #4 and produces those out-of-phase sounds Strats arefamous for. The Red Lace Sensor is the hottest output of the Laceseries, and gives a fat, punchy humbucker sound. It has lots of bites and ismost often used on the bridge. Some of the Tele Plus and the Strat Ultras usedthe Red Lace in a dual configuration, often with a switch to split one of thetwo pickups off. The early Plus and the Plus DX models used a Wilkinson type “roller nut”. As you can see the photo above on the left, the top 3 strings float while the other had to feed through an upper pin. This type was used for only a short time in 1987. The other photo (above) shows the Wilkinson nuts that had all the strings feed through an upper “roller” pin that the string rested on, while it went down under a second pin. These were a problem if you wanted to use heavier gauge strings and feeding them through the two pins, which was a hassle. Also, it is interesting that even though these are the DX Strat Plus, they do not have serial numbers that start with a “D” for Deluxe. That was commonly seen on the Deluxe American Strats, but the prefix was not used on the Deluxe Plus Series. Those were inferior to later LSR Roller nuts(above) that started to appear mid-1993. These made string changes much easier as each string rode on top of a set of roller bearings—really a great improvement over the Wilkinson nuts. The idea behind the roller nut was to improve tuning while using the tremolo. The Plus DX necks were made from maple with either a rosewood or maple cap and usually had 22 medium-jumbo frets. All had the skunk-stripe down the back, with a nice C Radius, as well as the Bi-flex truss rod, which was a good improvement over the older straight truss rods On the 1997 Floyd Rose II bridge. You cut off the end off your string and place the end into a hole on the bridge which tightens down on the string by the means of an Allen screw. There is no need to feed the strings through the back of the body, thus the back cover is solid. It is a nice system and prevents undue scratching of the body by the whole process of feeding the strings through the body, but the bridge is heavier and may cut down on the sustain of the string some. They also are harder to adjust for intonation and string height as it is done on the underside of the The above pictures show the Fender Floyd Rose locking bridge a little better. Many of the transparent models were made from ash, making them a little heavier in weight. The Plus Series were quite a bargain compared to guitars made from Fender’s Custom Shop. For those looking for the genuine Stratocaster tone but also desiring modern improvements such as low pickup noise and added tuning stability, Fender’s Stratocaster Plus series should be looked at with serious consideration. The package includes a cable and strap, making it easy to transport and play. This guitar is part of the American Deluxe series and was manufactured in 1999. It is a solid-body guitar that is perfect for any musician who wants to elevate their sound. Please note a minor nick on the right bottom edge last photo, otherwise it is in great condition with no other damages or scratches. Nice and smooth neck and fret actions.
