Hello all,
I've recently acquired a Fender Stratocaster Big Block Deluxe Series in black and chrome but there is next to no information on then. If anyone has some knowledge on them please let me know.
Thanks,
Ross

Starting with the obvious, here's the Big Block Stratocaster®, HSS, RW 013-4200 service diagram.

What kind of info are you looking for?
Anyways, here's one Fender fun fact; the name doesn't refer to the block inlays, it's about muscle cars. :wink:

There was a 'Big Block' series before BB Strats/Teles/P-Basses - those all came in 2005, but didn't make it to the Frontlines before 2006. The Toronado® GT HH is on page 80 of the 2005 Frontline - and it's got dot inlays.

I imagine that when the BB-series Strat/Tele/P-Bass were introduced, someone came up with the idea to block inlays, too. But actually, "big-blocking" here is the same as "hot-rodding" in some other Fender models; a bit extra boost to the model - on the BB series, the Strat is HSS, the Tele has three pickups, the P-Bass is active.

The P-Bass featured a single Bill Lawrence-designed humbucking J-Bass pickup in the rear position, a locking convertible bridge and a '51-style control plate with master volume, coil-splitting switch and 2-band active EQ controls.
