when i bought my deluxe in 2004 i wanted a "new" guitar so the features it had versus the ones made before or used on ebay or wherever didn't appeal to me or even enter my reasoning. as far as i can remember "off the top of my head" the main differences are probably the samarium cobalt pups, the s-1 switching and maybe the tremolo type. other than that i would suspect that the hand rolled neck/fingerboard my be unique to the deluxe as well as locking tuners. some of these options may only have been offered on my deluxe because it was a 50th anniversary but i'm not sure]]> Guitar Players Discussion TwistedLefty https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/difference-between-new-and-old-deluxe-strats/#post-181652 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/difference-between-new-and-old-deluxe-strats/#post-181647 Mon, 05 Jun 2006 18:45:58 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion michhill8 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/difference-between-new-and-old-deluxe-strats/#post-181647 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/difference-between-new-and-old-deluxe-strats/#post-181599 Mon, 05 Jun 2006 11:08:46 +0000 http://www.fender.com

I am looking on ebay, and I know the S-1 system is on the new models (2006), but what separates the old deluxe's from american standards?? Meaning, what makes them so much more deluxe?

This may be on the wrong message board, but I don't know where else to put it.]]> Guitar Players Discussion michhill8 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/difference-between-new-and-old-deluxe-strats/#post-18222
