Hi everyone!

I would like to ask you a few questions about fender american deluxe fat stratocaster (H/S/S). It's important for me to learn the answers.
1. What size is pickup cavity? Can I install a new pickguard with a pair of humbuckers (H/H) instead of one humbucker and two single pickups (H/S/S) WITHOUT drilling the body? Can anybody take a photo of pickup cavity on american deluxe fat strat?
2. Does EVERY instrument of american deluxe series have a roller nut? In some photoes there is a roller nut (http://www.fender.com/products//search. ... 0101500764) and in some there isn't (http://www.fender.com/products//search. ... 0101500720) but the price of both guitars is equal.

Waiting an answer from you.

Thank you for your attention!

Sinсerely yours Freddie,
from Russia, Moscow with love!

Hi Freddie, welcome to the Forum.

You seem to have correctly answered your own question regarding the roller nut! Some have it, some don't. Check this page:

As far as the pickup route is concerned, this page shows pictures of a 2008 Deluxe body:

freddie, to the best of my knowledge all Am Deluxe Fat Strats and Am Deluxe HSS have the LSR roller nut. The Am Deluxe with 3 single coils does not. I have a 2002 Fat Strat and it has the roller nut.
