(SOLD) Fender American Deluxe Stratocaster FSR Ice Blue 2012
Fender American Deluxe Strat, ice blue, made in USA 2012. This is a 'factory special run' model, with a cool non-catalog ice blue metallic finish and a single blue silver ano guard. It looks superb, the silver and blue is such a cool combo and it ties in with the chrome hardware and logo perfectly. The frets on this have been recently replaced with stainless steel medium jumbos, so you're sorted on fretwork for the next fifty years. It feels great: the slim neck is straight and stable and finished in slick satin, and the compound radius is a nice touch for athletic lead work. The S1 switching system delivers an obscene amount tonal options, including some fun stuff like out-of-phase and parallel settings. The pickups are noiseless, so you get a crisp, clear and defined take on the Strat-spank without any of the usual single coil hum. There's a lot to like here, and it really does look impeccable... dang.
