Can anyone lend some info on this guitar. My buddy picked it up used for $100.00. Yes...the guy needed money. Anyway, it has fender noiseless pups, and sounds VERY nice. Never seen one with little white push button on the pick guard (but then again, I'm rather new to guitars). Ran the serial # through guitar dater (it is an MZ7 serial) it came back as an 2007 - 2008 production MIM strat. Please forgive the pics, They were taken from my cell phone as it was all I happened to have on me at the time.

Thanks in advance,
Mike

It looks like the Deluxe Player Strat to me.

Hello 100 bucks probably stolen in its time but if not its a great buy.

Martian, That's the baby ! Thank you. I offered to buy it from my buddy for the same $100.00 he paid for it. For some reason,....he wasn't to jazzed about the idea.

Thanks again,
Mike

Yeah, that was my thought too: it was stolen.

Then having the pictures here is a good idea! The original owner might see them and begin the recovery process! Are you out there?

My other guitar is a Strat.

Did I say $100.00 ? My bad. It was actually $300.00

For $300 USD, that's still a great deal.

...I thought I was going to do something very clever there (and appallingly nerdy).

But after a bit of checking it turns out I misremembered. Forum user Windwalker9649 had an American Deluxe Strat stolen last November, not a Deluxe Player one.

'Course, that doesn't make me any less of a Forum nerd. Just wrong, is all...

There was one here in Phoenix on Craiglist for $300 also, wanted to check it up, but I thought I'd better cool it on buying guitars for awhile.

I have played a few of them.Those are very nice, I would buy one for $300.

Nice guitar, good price... but if you'll have to worry about its being a stolen guitar for the rest of the time you'll spend with it, pass on it - you will never bond with it.

Not saying it has been stolen from someone, as sometimes just good deals happen . Get as much info as you can on the background of this axe as you can before you make a
decision . Keep this in mind - there's always another guitar just
around the bend that you could get an even better deal on that may be more suited to your taste.
