The only Deluxe Serie I see In 2005 Fender Frontline page 50 it is a Deluxe Player Strat model 013-300X

Short description ; 12 inches radius neck
Super fat Strat single coils pickups
Super switching
Standard 5 way switch paired with a push pull mini switch ( I don't see it on your photo)
And color don't match

Or the year is a 2006 with no mini-switch ? But color don't match

It is a strange one. I appreciate that, buy the nature of their application , all bursts are unique but that seems quite abrupt. It might be because the photo is in full sunlight that it has that unusual effect and slightly unusual colour.

It could be that the body has been changed or refinished or the neck from a MiM Deluxe put on something else.

I think this could be one of those "If it feels and plays nicely, and the price is low enough" it might be worth a punt otherwise walk away. It isn't closet exotica that might make you thousands in the future so it all comes down to whether it talks to you and you think it is worth the asking price.

+1

As well, I'm not seeing the prominent grain of an ash body.

The neck may be from an authentic Deluxe Series Strat but the remainder of the details are suspect.

The 'burst on its own is enough to raise suspicion about the guitar's authenticity.
Without a better set of photos I'd say SLO (Strat looking object).

That's somewhat a weirdo, but I wouldn't kill it on the color alone.
There was a sorta lookalike funny finish on a MIM Tele from the same year for sale: reverb.com 2005 Tele
That "Tobacco Burst" is not what it usually looks like (YelloBurst..?), but let's wait for the Fender answer.
