I am in the process of purchasing a 2007 american deluxe strat but there are a few things which i am unsure of.
the body is made of northern hard ash wood. on searching this site it seems that all 2007 delux's are made with alder or southern ash. the colours is the 3 tone sunburst and everyone i have asked say that the ash body strats come in tobacco sunburst rather than the regular. i know the tuners have been upgraded to locking so im hoping that this isnt a frankencaster being sold as a legitimate guitar. as i am purchasing it from another state i cannot see the guitar before i buy it but have the assurance that all protective plastic and stickers are still on it. any information would be greatly appreciated as this is my first fender and the auction closes in 19 hours.
thank you..

I'm unsure of some of the answers to your questions, but as far as the auction goes....If you aren't 100% sure of what you're buying and if the seller will not give you a full refund if this is "not as described", then don't do it! There are too many guitars out there to get screwed in a deal you're unsure of. I, personally, would be suspicious of a guitar with "all the stickers and covers still in place" that has had the tuners changed! Could be legit, but sounds a little funky to me. Caveat emptor!

If I had the slightest feeling that it could be a fake I would pass on it and find something I'm sure is legit.

if its an 07 deluxe it would have had locking tuners stock.
it would have s-1 switching too.
pop in trem bar and modern bridge.

check that laundry list and see if it matches this guitar.
