Hall of Fame: 2008 Fender American Deluxe Stratocaster Electric Guitar in Transparent Red

Vincent Barras

The 2008 Fender American Deluxe Stratocaster blends classic Strat feel with modern performance upgrades, built in Corona, California and loaded with Samarium Cobalt Noiseless pickups for articulate tone without hum. Its S-1 switching system expands the standard five way layout, delivering everything from glassy cleans to thicker, punchier combinations while retaining that unmistakable Strat character. With a two point synchronised tremolo, locking tuners and smooth modern C maple neck, it is a refined USA Strat ready for stage or studio.
