The Deluxe Stratocaster is a 2004 special edition Squier with an impressive figured Maple top (Flame or Quilted) and White Pearl pickguard. Finishes like this are typically seen on guitars costing 10 times as much. It is an amazing value, and it's a real Fender-designed Stratocaster! These special-run instruments are a cut above the rest in visual appeal.
