i'm looking at a used american deluxe strat for my son for xmas from a guy at work. not that i know that much about them, but from looking around at new ones with him, i've never seen one like this with 2 coil pickups and a humbucker as well. its all original but i just wanted to know if anyone could tell me around what its worth so i dont overpay. he bought it used but thinks its from the late 90's. any help would be appreciated.

A good thing you can do is look and writte down the serial number so we can know when it was made .. based on that you can come up with a price :)

DZ2 should indicate 1992. I would think a fair price would be in the 800.00-900.00 range if it's in pretty good shape. Mike

N2 would be 1992.

As niki indicated, Z2 = 2002.

Sounds like some kind Fat Strat. How much does he want for it? Can you post a picture?

The O2 Deluxe Fat Strats I have seen do not have the FSR nut at the top of the neck nor the contoured neck plate in the back. It should have locking tuners and noiseless pickups at the middle and neck positions. I wouldn't give him more than $700.00 for it.
