I have had this guitar for almost a year now and can say quite honestly, that it not only looks amazing, but even if you make a mistake while playing it still sounds cool! The finish is breathtaking, as you would expect from a USA guitar. The feel of the neck, the silver Fender logo and the aged plastic covers. The things in my mind that set it apart from the standard american strat are the pickups, locking tuners and the S1 switch. I have played both and the pickups are noticeably hotter on the deluxe along with zero hum. If you are puzzled by the science behind the S1 switch, to the ‘layman’ it simulates a deeper/humbucker style sound to me. Very cool if you want a typical fender single coil sound but also need a ballsy humbucker on occasion!!

The locking tuners are also a nice touch because you just thread the string through, tighten the screw, wind the peg up to pitch and snip off the excess. It stays in tune all the time, only tiny adjustments are needed from time to time.

The bridge is the vintage two post type which can take quite a bit or vibratto action although as there is no recess underneath it (like on a Floyd Rose equipped guitar). To flex the bridge back without adjusting the action (height of the bridge) will result in you hitting or denting the body underneath the bridge! Although if you want massive Van Halen style play look else where!

I have given it 10 out of 10 because every time I play it, it puts a smile on my face.
