is there any fake deluxe on the market ?? im not very familiar with the deluxe

so i was wondering if this one was legit ... the guys asking 1000 $ canadian which is kinda cheap for a deluxe .
it has all the stickers s1 switching etc... ..

1. is it ok that the logo on the headstock is chrome ???

2. does the deluxe have " original contour body" on the headstock ???? ... my standard has it , is it ok that the deluxe doesnt have it ??

maybe im just being paranoid . but 1000 for a "new" deluxe is kinda cheap .

you can check 4 pictures .

any know what series it is ??? what year had that color .

yes that is normal for an american deluxe

they are supposed to have the fancier chrome logo
that say's fender stratocaster and that is it
no (original contour body)
i have noticed a lot of people decreasing their prices
as the new ptrice list recently came out with better pricing
sounds like a good deal

Looks legit to me dude. The Chromeish looking logo comes on the Dlx models. And I believe the color is Olympic Pearl; which is pretty standard for the Am Dlx. I think the model is American Deluxe Stratocaster. The dots are also abalone (SP). Nice guitar. 1K sounds a little low. But if it is open for bidding, and it's legit, it is sure to go up.

I'm not an expert though, so hang out for a bit and one of the guys, who know a lot more than me, will be around and offer some comments as well.

Nice strat I have one in candy tangerine that I love. If I didnt buy mine, I mightve gone for a V-neck or an ash.

Without seeing the serial number, it's hard to figure out what year it is. Although if price was any indication, perhaps 2006-8? thats a stab in the dark. but the case offers a clue.

Chrome logo, S1, SCN's pearl or a tortoise shell guard, abalone markers, buffed headstock, locking tuners, aged plastic parts, deluxe trem, contoured heel...

They came out in 3 colour SB, Montego Black, Chrome Silver, Olympic Pearl, Candy Tangerine, and a few others.

Heres mine, the photo doesnt do it justice as it was taken with my phone. Good luck with your purchase! :

I have a 2001 American Deluxe, she's a real beauty. As you can see, the Fender logo on the headstock is chrome.

Looks bang on to me SkyC.

Not sure about the case, but I dont have much experience with deluxes other than my own. Which came with a tweed case.

Definitely legit. The case is correct as well. I hate those fender cases with a passion! Why do the standards come with the nice TSA case and the deluxes include these junkers?

US Deluxes made after 2010 came with an SKB case and TSA locks.

At least yours came with a case! I had to purchase a case separately. But I got a 2000 Deluxe for $700. They only charged me $100 for the TSA case. I think $800 is a great price for a Dlx.

So, you bought your guitar about when this thread was originally started. Funny how two year old threads suddenly pop back up.
