This guitar is probably a special factory run commissioned by Sweetwater as the Olympic White finish, rosewood fretboard and tort guard suggest.

Fender offers their US Special SSS with a maple neck. Only the HSS models benefit from rosewood fretboards.

Nice axe :P

I have seen these only on eBay not any at sweetwater Sam Ash or Guitar Center Zzounds etc.

So it looks like an order on ebay.

Not to be the :twisted: Devil's Abvocate :twisted: but... being as though on eBay... and NOT an special run for Sweetwater, GC etc... does raise suspicion that it may not be 100% legit.
Is the seller reputable? I would contact/communicate w/ the seller and get some definitive info.
Keep us posted!

Yeah I looked into them I did see these at guitar center a few years ago but this was a FSR in last couple years and seems they were just done for a few smaller shops. There is several on eBay all from authorized dealers.

I've seen a couple of FSR American Deluxe HSS Strats in Red Blackburst while surfing on many eBay stores. Some were featured with the snap-in deluxe bridge while others sported the American Standard type with the bent saddles.

These guitars boasted a feature set actually available on the American Standards.

Have you tried them?

Yep nice $899
If you shop around there are some retail stores e.g mcquade or leitz who just may have one.
They were avail from Sweetwater but a couple of years back
Amazon show one avail by Leitz...!
I like the large headstock but looks like they come with a gigbag which means risky shipping.
Good luck! :D

That's who has one on eBay too along with bizzare guitars. There is several from authorized dealers new old stock. Looks like a good Christmas present or tax refund purchase.
