Hi,

I have a 1998 Am Deluxe Stratocaster and I would like to know what is the shape of the neck. It has a serial number in DN + 6 digits. Can you help me?

Thank you for your time.

I have a 1999 American Deluxe , neck is "standard" like all American Standard guitar. Radieus is 9.5 inches

The neck on this American Deluxe has a modern C profile with hand-rolled fretboard edges and detailed nut/fret treatment. It has also abalone dots on the fretboard.

From 1998 to 2001 USA Deluxe guitars came stock with a regular 4-bolt neckplate; the asymmetrically contoured neck heel didn't came into surface until 2002.

These options were also present on the 2nd generation of US Deluxe instruments until 2010 when Fender decided to standardize (cheapen) the series by deleting key features such as the abalone dot inlays, the locking bridge option and the 22nd fret from bass guitar necks; these changes were intended to cut production costs and save money.
