Fender American Deluxe Strat Plus - Mystic Ice Blue, Maple Fingerboard - Electric Guitars - Right Handed - Electric Guitars - Guitars & Amps | Cosmo Music

I've always wanted a strat that colour. I like it.

 

[Rick31797]

It is basically a standard strat with locking tuners. The personality cards , i wonder is just a gimmick ...I cannot see changing them out, i would probably use one card and be done with it...I like the card that can activate two pickups for a humbucker sound...

 

[Steadfastly]

Not enamoured with the colour for a guitar. A multi effects unit can do the same thing and more, so no.

 

[vadsy]

Great colour in that guitar.

 

[Maxer]

Love that colour, too. Look smart with the maple board. The personality cards? A gimmick. I get why Fender's going there but I think it's a faddish marketing ploy.

 

[Budda]

If you have two, throw $1500 in the gear account and wait until something keeps you up at night.

 

[Rick31797]

Only had one guitar keep me up at night.. 2011 American Telecaster Deluxe...

The cards are a gimmick from 2013-2014. You're looking at old stock.

 

[Rick31797]

I dont know why they call this guitar a deluxe plus it does not have , the features of a deluxe other then locking tuners..

 

[Rick31797]

The cards are a gimmick from 2013-2014. You're looking at old stock.

L M and cosmos are both selling these..L M want 1599.00

 

[BSTheTech]

World Music (US company) was blowing these out in 2015 for $850. I doubt you can still get the cards. I think there were three in total.

 

[pat6969]

Seems only the mystic blue is on sale for that price. Too bad.

I hate navigating their web site!

 

[traynor_garnet]

I hate navigating their web site!

Yep, and having looked at their sale I was left shaking my head.

 

[Steadfastly]

I hate navigating their web site!

I agree it could be better but it is way better than L & M.

 

[Rick31797]

I find with LM there search menu is terrible, type in something and nothing comes up but you know its there on the web sight.

 

[nonsense]

I realize this isn't super helpful if you aren't nearby, but there's much more marked down at the store than on the web site.

 

[Rick31797]

I would like to do a trip there someday, been to the new store just once...

 

[Guncho]

Is their Yamaha FG830 marked down?
