Hey all,

After getting my first Strat at the back end of last year, a Classic Player '50's, I obviously now want another already. After losing out on ANOTHER cherryburst Sambora Strat on ebay, I'd pretty much decided on getting a US Deluxe HSS in sunset metallic. Trouble is, they're really hard to find so I emailed my go to shop and they said they've been discontinued!! :shock:

Is this just the sunset metallic or all HSS Deluxes? It's still shown on the website in all colours and in the 2013 catalog, so I'm a bit confused. I can find a couple, but not with that friendly interest free credit option!

The American Deluxe HSS is still in production (sunset metallic burst models included).

Yeah, everything I can find says it's still in production, except for the complete lack of stock in the UK and shops saying it's discontinued!! I'll have to drop Fender a line! :)

I came across one this past weekend that is used and in olypic pearl. It has had the pick guard changed to b/w/b on front. The rear is still tortoise. I wanted to buy it right then but decided to come home and do some more research on them before popping. Good luck on your search and bring pics when you buy.

Apparently Fender is phasing out the "regular" American Deluxe HSS Strats in favor of the Shawbucker-equipped models. Sunburst and Olympic Pearl are no longer listed for this product as opposed to the American Deluxe Shawbucker which is also offered in Black and Sunset Metallic Burst.

You can still get the Dlx Strat Plus. I own the SSS model and love it!
