Fender Deluxe Double Fat Strat

Mexican Deluxe Double Fat Strat. 22 frets, rosewood fretboard. I love the rosewood as i am not too keen on maples. Two tone knobs, one volume knob, 5 way selector. double tex-mex humbucking combo, one at bridge, one at neck. 90% of the time I use the neck position, but it produce a little bit too much hum or feedback, so I'm throwing a Seymour-Duncan distortion pickup in the bridge position. All black finish looks really nice. Sadly it isn't a hardtail as i never use a tremolo. The neck has pretty good action. I don't like the strings that came with it, I think they were Fender bullets, and soon I'm replacing them with Ernie Ball Heavy Bottoms. A nice deluxe Fender gigbag was included.

This guitar fits my style very well, as I play alot of punk. I run it through a Crate GFX-212, and it has a kick-ass sound. The Crate is 120 watts and has two 12 inch speakers which are pretty damn loud. the only thing is the bridge humbucker gets a little feedback when I put the distortion volume up to three. Has a really clean, full sound on the clean channel. I can use it for a wide variety of music. I use it to play Blink-182, Tool, System of a Down, Creed, etc....it is pretty versatile, except it needs to have that little extra crunch for Tool, hence the new humbucker I am putting in.

i like the action on the guitar, but it could be a little bit better. The biggest drawback is the humming sound from the pickups. It isn't too bad, but it can piss you off after a while. All in all it has very good action, etc.

I would most definately use this guitar at a gig, and I plan to in the future. So far it has been holding up very well, as I play kinda rough and hammer the shit out of the strings. Finish is nice, i bumped the body a couple times and so far no scratches or dents. I can totally depend on it, and I wold use it at a solo gig.

I've been playin about 3 years. I also own an Ibanez and a Squier strat, and this guitar outperforms both of them. I love just about everything about it, except it isn't a hardtail. I love the big 70's stock, as I always wanted a guitar with one. I wish i had a big-ass stack to run through once I get the new humbucker. I will be using this guitar for years to come. If you like to play punk, i highly recommend this guitar.

I love the pickgaurd and the rosewood fretboard. The big headstock is a little much but it adds alot. I just wish it was a hardtail.

The pickups suit me perfect because i play punk and the Pickups are pretty hot, But a lot oh hummmmmm in the sound.

I Hate the Gay bridge.

I would use it at a gig hell yeah it is so reliable.

I really injoy this guitar

Mexican strat, split humbuckers w/ 5 way switching, 3 humbucking settings and 2 single coil, 2 tone controls, 1 volume, maple neck with rosewood fretboard, pretty rosewood stripe on the back of the neck, really adds alot. The humbuckers arent stock, they're tex mex. Alder body. Generic tremolo

I play all styles of music, classic rock, blues, modern rock, punk, acid jazz, etc. Generally a good sound, much more sustain than any of my previous guitars. It is a bit too bright for me when playing rhythm unless the tones are rolled back pretty far but then its smooth. The humbuckers arent whisper quiet but they arent terribly bad either

Mmmm, my truss rod wasn't perfect, action was a little low for me, lots of string buzzing, one of my tuning pegs was loose, pickups were set up pretty well though, and the finish was flawless, but then again, its just white plastic...

Id play a show with this thing, but feedback might be a problem if you are playing very loud with these pickups. I havent had any problems with stuff breaking yet but I've only had it for about a month. Oh yeah, the damned input terminal comes loose every once in a while...

never had to deal with them

Well i've been playing for an hour or two a day for about 3 years, but i've been "playing" guitar for a little longer. The amp I play this through is a little 40 watt Peavey solid state, im sure it'd sound better with a tube amp, but then again a broom stick with a string tied to it would too. The one thing I really love is the split humbuckers, nothing better than getting the best of both worlds
