Hello all, sorry its been awhile. My friend recently bought a strat off a guy for $300. I guess the guy got it for christmas a few years back and never got to it. It still has plastic on pickguard. Im pretty sure its a usa strat deluxe. It has the locking tuners, the volume knob has the button on it, and it has that butterscotch,orange tinted neck. 2 tone sunburst, mint green pickguard.(i will post pics later on today or tomorrow). When im asking is because i sent fender an email of the serial # and the guy from fender is saying there is nothing in the system for that. The serial # starts out as DZ9 and its on the back of the headstock. Under that it says made in usa. I told my friend if it really is a usa deluxe then he got one heck of a deal.

Made in USA under the serial on back of headstock? doesn't sound kosher to me...

No, doesn't sound kosher to me either, so just because I'm such a nice guy, tell your friend that I'll buy it from him for $300 so he get's his money back and I'll even pay shipping. :lol:

Sounds kosher to me:

American Deluxes have "Made In USA" on the back of the headstock. Elderly Instruments' website is a great place to check out details of guitars because they take great detailed photos http://elderly.com/fmic/items/FADSSA-BBL-RSWD.htm

I'm surprised Fender didn't have a record of the serial number. Maybe it is a fake? Please post pics or at least comapre it to the Am Dlx's for sale at Elderly to see if your friend's Strat has any differences.
