General

From the soft touch control knobs to the redesigned string nut, Fender has clearly pulled out all the stops to make something really special out of the American Elite Stratocaster in Aged Cherry Burst. Every detail comes together to form a top-notch instrument that boasts the sound and ergonomic playability you've come to expect from this world-famous brand. This guitar also features Deluxe Noiseless pickups and that unmistakably clean Fender sound. Its Aged Cherry Burst finish and rosewood fretboard are the cherry on the cake of this timeless Strat.

Stratocaster Aged Cherry Burst: ingenious design

This Strat features short post locking tuners, which is an interesting detail. Thanks to a relatively low design, the strings receive enough tension in the string nut, which results in excellent tuning stability. The 2-point Deluxe tremolo contributes to this as well. New to the American Elite series is the two-way truss rod, which is equipped with a spoke nut, which is a cylinder with holes around it. By inserting a thin screw driver or Allen key into one of these holes, you can adjust the neck with great accuracy without having to remove it. All in all, this Strat is modern and practical!

American Elite: for the real enthusiast

The American Elite series is the spiritual successor of the critically acclaimed American Deluxe series. Fender is building on their recipe for success, with their American Elite models, but have also added some unique innovative touches. All of the American Elite models have a Double Action truss rod for easy adjustments, and both the fretboard and neck have a compound profile for optimal playability. Moreover, the Deluxe Noiseless pickups are a big leap in pickup design and are only available in this series. The Fender American Elite Stratocaster comes complete with a luxury Elite Case with an elegant silver lining.

NAMM 2016: Big Fender Name Change: Deluxe Is Now Elite!

Thursday 21 January 2016

Fender knows like no other that you never change a winning team. Besides a few little adjustments here and there, they usually don't mess with their successful models too much. Until now. The famous manufacturer decided to get rid of the Deluxe name and re-brand it with the slightly classier Elite moniker. Of course, this also goes with a few adjustments for the various Teles and Strats, as well as the Jazz, Precision and Dimension bass guitars.
