Pure Strat Perfection!New Old Stock (NOS) Custom Stop Custom Deluxe Stratocaster. 
Everyone knows the Fender Custom Deluxe Stratocaster is an incredible Strat. But any true Strat lover will always have a wish list of tweaks, modifications, and subtle adjustments to turn an incredible Strat into a vision of pure Strat perfection. Here, the guitar-loving crew got together with the Fender Custom Shop with our own wish list of sorts. With input from you, all of the toneheads, we went ahead and put a twist on the Fender Custom Deluxe Stratocaster to create our very own version, the Fender Custom Deluxe Stratocaster Special. We know you'll love it as much as we do.
So, what makes the Fender Custom Deluxe Stratocaster Special so special? It's the extra attention to detail here. All the woods were hand selected for beauty, grain, and the traits of tonal perfection. We upped the neck from "A" flame maple to "AA" maple, for an even more amazing appearance. And we also went ahead and gave the Fender Custom Deluxe Stratocaster Special a set of locking tuners, versus the regular Deluxe's regular staggered set. The bridge here is a 2-point bridge with bent-steel vintage-style saddles (similar to the American Standard). And because we're totally tweaky, we went ahead and gave the Fender Custom Deluxe Stratocaster Special a parchment 3-ply pickguard for a slightly aged look that we love.But any true Strat fan will tell you there's magic in the pickup configuration. We didn't mess with tried-and-true, so there's still a trio of single-coils in our Fender Custom Deluxe Stratocaster Special. However, we hand selected a different complement of them to make this Strat really sing with a bit more attitude. At the neck and middle, we stuck Fat '50s single-coil pickups. You'll get that '50s-style Fender sound, with enhanced bass response but no harsh midrange. At the bridge, we left the popular Custom Shop Texas Special single-coil, giving you a dose of that Texas blues sound. And to give you a different style of tweak on your tone, we made the controls Master Volume, Neck, and Bridge (a la the Eric Johnson Stratocaster).All in all, the Fender Custom Deluxe Stratocaster Special is a finely tuned piece of Fender Custom Shop workmanship that's got the best-of-the-best Strat appointments, with a special twist for the true Strat lover. And, of course, as with all Fender Custom Strats, the Fender Custom Deluxe Stratocaster Special was painstakingly crafted by one of Fender's finest builders right here in the USA.Fender Custom Deluxe Stratocaster Special Features at a Glance:

MXR Blue Box Octave Fuzz And because what's a blue guitar without a blue pedal, we are throwing in a new MXR Blue Box Octave Fuzz Pedal for free!
This is the effect heard on Jimmy Page's "Fool in the Rain" solo.
The Blue Box Octave Fuzz takes your guitar signal and duplicates it two octaves down for a huge, subterranean tone. The Blend knob lets you control how much of the fuzz tone is mixed with the two octaves down signal. Not for the timid—there is truly nothing like the Blue Box.  Power: Dunlop ECB003 AC Adapter or Single 9 volt battery
