ACCESSORIES & INFO

The Deluxe models saw the birth of Fenders own noiseless pickups.

With new CNC machines, they went back to the classic 50s contours and started featuring rolled edges on the USA Line.

Despite being a DELUXE model, the S1 switches are still abscent with just standard switch configuration and no bells and wistles of any kind.
