I bought this guitar and it was described as a Deluxe Fat Strat. It appears to have all the features, but when I researched the serial number (Z0041729) the Fender site listed the serial number code made in 2000 but that the Deluxe version had a DZ for serial numbers.

I was just curious if it is in fact a Deluxe Fat Strat. It has noiseless singles and obviously from picture is HSS. It has the the Locking Tuners LT & LSR Roller Nut. I paid $800 Used. It is a fine guitar except for the fact that the string height is non adjustable so the action is a little tight. The only question is whether it is a Deluxe or not because of the serial number. Is it possible that Fender Serial number Z00 could be a deluxe, or not?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
