Anybody got a Squier Deluxe Strat? If so let me know your experience with it. I'm thinking it might be my next guitar.

i have no experience with that guitar but after seeing your guitars in your signature i would say buy as nice litte tube amp instead. i have a line 6 amp and when i bought my blues junior my guitars sounded a million times better. the line 6 now never gets used.

your highway one will thank you. :wink:

The Super Champ is Great but so is the Deluxe Strat. Do a search on this forum and you'll find a lot of great reviews and happy owners of both. The Strat would be a nice weapon in your arsenal of Tele's. Heck get'um BOTH 8)
And a Blues Jr., a 65 Twin, a 59 Bassman, Win the Lottery and Buy everything in the catalog :D

Thanks Red, Eventually I probably will. My point is I really like my Squier Tele and thought the Deluxe would be a great additon as well. Right now I'm satisfied with my little Line Six. I play it mostly clean and maybe a quarter of the time with headphones and it sounds good to me. I'm just working on my skills and having a blast. Really I don't need either but I WANT em both. :o

The Deluxe Stratocaster is an excellent guitar. The neck has rolled fretboard edges and super-smooth fret ends. Mine feels like it was custom-made for my left hand. The Seymour Duncan Designed pickups are also super-sweet and can produce a wide range of classic Strat tones. I guarantee you won't be disappointed!

I've made some cosmetic changes to mine to give it a more vintage look, and I think it's perfect now.

+1. I really like mine, it gets as much playing time as my Fender Custom Shop strat! I modded it with 2 humbuckers and a tortoise pick guard.

Nice photos 5er

It's a pity it doesn't have the roller bridge and locking tuners like my (USA) Strat Plus, but looks like a nice guitar.

I'm also supriced that it has string trees... my Plus doesn't and I thought the (Fender) Strat deluxe was the same

Does the Deluxe Stratocaster come with that type of bridge (2 point)? I like both the blue and white on both guitars. I love how the blue one looks vintage with the aged knobs and pickup covers. Nice! I want one. They are about 250.00 dollars new right?

Most sites have them listed for $279. Probably there will be alot of Memorial Day 25% off sales. That would knock it down to the $220-$225 range.
