What's special about this item?

Feature: What it does:
Alder body Light weight with a wide tonal range

V6 Rotary Knob Select between 6 different onboard preamp circuits
Texas Special pickups Delivers snappy and hot midrange; great for blues

The Fender Deluxe Roadhouse Stratocaster Electric Guitar is a stylish axe with three extra-hot Texas Special single-coil pickups that give the Deluxe Roadhouse more attitude than your typical Strat. And if that didn't get your attention, the Deluxe Roadhouse Strat offers unique tonal possibilities thanks to the combination of Fender's V6 rotary knob and S-1 switch. Built into the Deluxe Roadhouse Strat's volume knob, the S-1 switch grants you seven distinct tone circuits (six preamped and one bypass), allowing you to play everything from silky-smooth melodies to howling leads.

V6 Rotary Knob

In lieu of a second tone control knob, the middle tone knob conceals the Deluxe Roadhouse Strat's secret weapon: Fender's V6 rotary knob. The V6 knob allows you to select between six different onboard preamp tone circuits -- from hollowed-out tones to screeching leads -- so you can play any style you like on the Deluxe Roadhouse Strat.

S-1 Switch

For additional tonal control, the Deluxe Roadhouse Strat is also equipped with Fender's S-1 switch, residing atop the master volume knob. Acting as a killswitch for the V6 preamp, the S-1 switch can even bypass the V6 altogether for straight Stratocaster sounds.

- Mexican-made Fender Roadhouse Stratocaster electric guitar with selectable tone circuits
- Alder Stratocaster body with gloss polyester finish
- C-shaped maple neck with gloss urethane finish
- 25.5" scale maple fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo frets and a read more 9.5" fingerboard radius

Fender's Deluxe Roadhouse Stratocaster tears the place down with extra-scorching Strat sound and style.

The S-1 switch built into the volume knob bypasses the preamp completely for pure Strat tone.

Through the years I've owned about every name brand guitar, High end and mid priced guitars. This guitar from headstock to tail is a no brainer for the price, sounds and ease of playing. The Texas special pups with the S-1 switch active pickup system and you have about any sound you desire. The neck is awesome as is the finish. It's a 10. A lot of good musical instrument stores to choose from these days. In my opinion zzounds is my choice. Wonderful folks to do business with.
