Hello all.
I finally got the chance to get my hands on a CS deluxe today in my local shop and it blew me away. Felt great and sounded better than expected. Made the Am standard id being trying a few minutes before feel very inferior. But the CS deluxe i played and nearly abused the credit card for got me thinking.
The colour was Sienna sun burst and the neck was fairly heavily birds eyed. I didnt think this colour was an option on this model. Nor the birds eye neck, flame yes, birds eye no. The neck was also a very heavy gloss, not something that im a fan of and the only minus point.
The fella in the shop wasn t a great help and all he could tell me that it had just arrived.
Did a bit of surfing and found various spec types for this guitar. 90% as per the CS spec list, but some with Fat 50 pups or Dimarios.
Is the spec for the 2010 CS deluxe strat different from the CS web site or and these limted few custom builds for select shops. JUst to add, this was the first CS strat i ve seen in this shop. They dont normally hold any in stock.
Thanks all in advance.

Something that i noticed. No F or Fender stamped on the back of the locking tuner drums? Is something amiss with this guitar?

I recall seeing Sienna Burst, when these first came out, though I opted for two tone burst (I always do!). Based on some previous threads here, there were some changes made late last year, after some noticed "non-spec" models showing up on some dealer web sites. I'm also pretty sure the '10 models had some changes from '09 as well.

Thanks Mike.

Went back again and asked the mian fella in the shop to get me more info on the guitar. Apparentley the SSB colour and birds eye neck were special order there UK chain. So he says theres only 25 2010 builds with this spec in the UK??
Had another go for an hour or so and love it. Stuck deposit down and pick it up in a couple of weeks. Cant wait!!!

Cheers for the invaluable info.

Can someone out there in the know give me the build date please?

Build date should be on the Certificate of Authenticity (COA) that comes in the case with all Fender Custom Shop guitars.
