Hands-On: Fender American Deluxe Stratocaster and Telecaster
That gloss urethan sunset metallic finish is stunning but there's much more going on here than just window dressing. The new design S-1 switching and noiseless pickups are a definite improvement on what we've heard before.

There are more tone options with the improved S-1 switching and the new N3 noiseless pickups are as good as any Stacked-coil Strat pickups we've ever heard.

The sixties bound Tele Custom-style body… always a head turner. Indeed we found the Deluxe Telecaster more traditional sounding of the pair compared to the Strat. A smoother experience next to an American Vintage Series.
