I wanted to share with everyone my latest addition to my Family of Fender's. after searching for 5 long years I finally aquired a dead MINT never played, 2006 (Anniversary Year) FSR American Deluxe Stratocaster® In Beautiful Vintage White! 010-1202-(741)
I was told By Cameron @ Fender's consumer relations that only 100 of these guitars were made for Musicians friend. and the serial number cross reference he sent me confirmed that. thats why I have had such a hard time finding one all these years. I cant begin to tell everyone how excited I am to have finally found the Stratocaster I have always wanted. I own about 8 or 9 Strats and 3 Telecasters, and this new American Deluxe is definately one great playing and sounding Strat. the neck is flawless and feels like heaven. and since I am definately a Maple fingerboard fanatic, the abalone dot inlays on this beautifully grained fingerboard look incredible!! and the tonal possibilities with the S-1 switching are almost endless, but what I like most about the guitar, is even though I can get some very cool modern tones with it, I can still get a classic vintage strat tone using the right settings through the S-1 system. I will never part with this guitar...I will get buiried with this strat lol. I will post some pictures of her for everyone to see.

Congrats on one rare guitar, enjoy.
Pics would be great \m/

Cheers,
Robin

I also have one of these 0101202741 American Deluxe Strat with a maple neck vintage white. I already owned one American Deluxe Strat, which at the time, was the best playing strat I'd had. I thought I should try a different type of guitar so I went to guitar center and bought a PRS. When I took it back they would only give me store credit. I showed them the picture of the AM DLX STRAT MN VWT in a Musicians Friend mag. They told me they were made only for Musicians Friend. Less than a month later I read that Guitar Center bought Musicians Friend. I beat feet down to Guitar Center and less than a week later it was delivered to my door. I can't see messing around with even an American Standard much less a Fender without a maple neck. I have 4 Fender Deluxe's with maple necks (all get played out regularly) and this 0101202741 is the best guitar I have. I can definitely understand stratomaster516's thrill.
