After all my complaints and moaning about Fender, my new lefty deluxe strat has finally arrived.

The annoying thing, as I have often pointed out before is that when I contacted sales at Fender UK only seven days ago, they told me there would be no deluxe strats delivered to the UK before late November at the very earliest. I had given up on it and was looking for a different guitar when out of the blue my UK dealer called me to say the guitar was now in stock and waiting to be collected.

The day after I spoke to Fender I managed to buy a set of lefty locking tuners and a tremolo system from a deluxe guitar, these from a supplier in the US. I'm just awaiting for them to arrive now and they will go onto my AM Series guitar.

Having said all that, I'm really glad I did wait. The guitar is everything I'd hoped it would be and so much more.

Mike

The added advantage of the S-1 switching wasn't something I'd thought of when ordering the Dlx. Having an Axis SS, I wanted the better locking tuners and tremolo system, similar to that guitar has.

The S-1 switching has been much better that I had expected, lots of tonal and sound variations, another plus point for me with the Dlx.

The new Dlx with an Am Series lefty in background. Hoping to chang the pickguard to a tortoise shell one when my mail from the US arrives in the UK. We have a postal strike at the minute and that's not helping.

Regards....Mike
