Well, finally I sent an email to the guitar shop and they told me that this was a limited series of American Ash Stratocasters with HSS configuration (with a humbucker and two samarium cobalt noiseless pickups) and they were sold to the guitar shop during a guitar trade fair event in Dallas. They say that I would never find this exact model outside of that fair and they were labeled as "American Ash Strato S1 Luxe".
Anyway it's a great guitar. I love it.
Than you for your opinions and help.

Thanks! But mmmmm... ¿Does Fender make American Deluxe HSS Strats without the roller nut and the locking tuning machines? All the photos and specifications I have seen have those things...


If they do it's something new in the past couple years.

Sorry but that's just wrong. I've personally owned two American Deluxe HSS Strats with roller nuts (from the factory) and one AD Tele Plus with a roller nut.

And can you buy them now? Note that was written in present tense. Could you buy them in 2007? Thats as far past as this topic needs to go back, being the age of the guitar.

The specs are in the products section if you look. Check the HSS American standard too. It will show you that your guitar matches that one perfectly. Its easy to tell if you have scn's in the guitar. They dont hum and have scn shaped into the non-removable pickup cover.

The HSS American Deluxe's have roller nuts the SSS American deluxe does not.

Hi mate- looking at your guitar, its an MIA Fat strat with an S1. If we can remember, when S1 came out- it was put on the Telecaster S/H aswell. They made them for a few years, then reserved S1 for Deluxe only. I remember this from a frontline from years ago

I've got basically the same guitar. Z5... serial, ssh p/u's, S1 switching, Ash body with Sienna burst finish, white tipped trem bar. The neck has plain white inlays, Rosewood fingerboard, regular nut. I thought perhaps it was an American Standard with factory upgrades. Nice guitar!

Oh yeah, the pick ups. I swear they're noisless. Compared to my '04 American Standard SSS, The noise difference is unbelievable!

The pickups are really quiet in a quiet amp. The other guitars pickups were more likely hot wound, cheap or that guitar had bad insulation or wiring.

It is a 2007 American Standard HSS Strat for sure.
