Fender Strat CS Custom deluxe

vic

Got this the other day. Fiesta red and 9.5" neck radius.

Lovely colours! What makes it a "custom deluxe" instead of a regular CS instrument?

Not sure...? Could be the pups and select woods used.
Here's a link to this guitar model

Ah, very informative! Thanks ?

I can only assume it's awesome, considering you bought it.

It's the first Strat I'm really happy with...wonderful tones and nice smooth meaty neck.
Sorry about the lack of info ?.....I've tried to compare this just now with some other CS Strats and they all have more or less the same specs...differing mostly in neck radius and trem-bridge specs. EDIT: This one has a reverse wound middle CS69 PUP, a CS69 neck pup , and a CS Texas special bridge pup. (That's better..... ) It also has a bone nut and highly polished medium jumbo frets.

I think the important bits are the 9.5 radius, 2 point bridge, locking tuners combined with the mint guard etc. In the vid they said Texas Special bridge and CS69 mid and neck?

Oh yes...it has an alder body and vintage tinted maple neck ?

I'd like to say, "sorry, what was the Oom?", but then realised I am not the one that'll start losing the treble frequencies any time soon :?

Congrats Vic! Sounds like a guitar I would enjoy playing. It's got the deluxe saddles too (offset intonation screw).

Thanks Alan...yip, offset intonation screw and all.
Must say this sounds really good through Matta's ex Bandmaster.
