Back to Product Information
Sound: This Strat really has it all .The selection of two Texas Specials single coils in the neck and middle positions ,a Seymour Duncan "Pearly Gates" in the bridge paints a wide palette of tones .This axe can used for rock ,blues ,country ,or even metal .It is kind of a "Swiss Army Knife" of guitars ,it does a lot things very well . Feature: The Lone Star Deluxe comes with a very nicely padded deluxe Fender gig bag ,Trem arm and adjustment wrenches .It was setup very well right out of the box .Intonation was spot on .The axe needed no adjustment at all (I have played over 50 years and own many guitars and usually have to do some setup myself ,but not this one ).As I had stated before the pick ups are excellent and work well together. Ease of Use: A real "player's guitar .Very responsive and great action .The manual is very clear ,and the guitar switching system is rather intuitive .Pretty straight forward ,all the way around . Quality: The Stratocaster is always extremely reliable .You could play out at a gig with no back up axe ,but I always play with at least one back up guitar ,not because I don't have faith in Fender (usually ,I use another Strat for back up ,and rarely, if ever, use it ).I have seven Strats ,and they are truly roadworthy .You can rely on Fender ! Fit and finish is really high quality . Value: This is a bargain price for the guitar you get .The pickups alone are worth the price of the whole axe . Manufacturer Support: I have had this Strat only a short time ,so I have not needed anything from Fender .My past few experiences with the Fender company have always been fine .I feel they support their product better than most companies ,not naming any names ! The Wow Factor: When someone says "electric guitar " ,I think Fender Stratocaster ! The shape ,and contoured body ,and famliar headstock give the Fender Lone Star Deluxe Stratocaster make this ,in my opinion ,the sexiest shape available any where .It is probably the most copied guitar ever produced .That alone speaks volumes of its popularity .It is truly a classic. Overall: I fully expect to keep this guitar forever .I own more Strats than any other guitars .I love the Duncan "Pearly Gates " in the bridge position ,it is a nice change and adds a lot more flexibility for the person who only owns one axe .There is really nothing at all I would change about this guitar .As soon as I received this axe and played it ,it was like an old friend .

Sound: The tone of this guitar is ideal for blues and rock. Not by any means a shredder but the syprisingly effective tone pots make it great for most genres. The Texas Specials singles and the Pearly Gates humbucker complement each other perfectly. Very versitile, great for a player who wants the snap and bark of a classic Fender but also howl crunch associatied with a vintage Gibson. Feature: This guitar has decent features and the pickups are superbas well as the tone pots. I would have liked to see factory locking tuners and the original two-point tremelo that was on the original American made version.These are all easy upgrades that are just a matter of taste. Overall the guitar looks as you would expect an old favorite guitar to look. The brown sunburst finish with the tortoise pickguard is especially beautiful and apparently durable(I dropped one from about three feet and there was barely a mark). If your style isn't exacly of the vintage persuasion,the 21 fret neck, vintage style tremelo and the limited color choices send you looking for an original American made version which was basically an upgrades standard model. Ease of Use: This definite plug and play guitar. Sounds great through almost any amp. Players who use tube amps will especially love the amount of tones you can get from this amp. Everything from super snappy country licks to than the Southern rock overdrive to that Hendrix/Cream 60s style rock & roll.I pair it with multiple amps and pedals and it sounded incedible. If you are a minimalist like myself, you'll love the amount of tone you can coax out of this guitar with a just an amp, and instrement cable and a few tweaks of the tone and volume controls. Quality: Solidly made guitar. I plan on buying one and it will more than likely be the guitar that travels. The looks, quality construction, and price make it a great guitar for gig use. I will probably change the tuners though because I prefer locking tuners. Value: Great value for a player looking for a versitile guitar that looks good and can stand up yo reasonable abuse. Its right at home in smokey bars and clubs. Manufacturer Support: Ive never dealt with fender in that manner. The Wow Factor: The brown sunburst finish reminds you of a bygone era in music. This guitar has the ability to exude chiming highs as well as a bluesy barking lowend growl. The sound reminds me of many of my favorite guitarist and the versitility is great for getting te "creative" juices going. If you like that vintage look with out the relic type aging this guitar will make you drool with delight. Overall: If this guitar were stolen I would definitely buy another. It is a wonderfully versitile guitar that any guitarist could find useful.

SPOTLIGHT REVIEW
VERIFIED BUYER
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Sound: Sounds very good! This is my first experience with the Texas Special middle and neck pickups and they are a really good vintage sounding pickup with bell and chime, but with just enough added oomph to make me sound good live. The Seymour humbucker is just wonderful and if adjusted plenty low, balances nicely with the other pickups. The guitar has a really nice fret job and neck with just a few sharp edges here and there but nothing bothersome. Fast neck for a Strat. Feature: About as good as it gets feature wise. The pickups are top notch and really elevate the guitar into the pro level for live sound. The only thing "wrong" is the bridge saddle height screws are typical MIM, too long and they all protrude into the palm. Fender needs to put height compensated (ie the same as American Strats have) screws in their MIM line guitars. Ease of Use: Easy to sound really good on. Helps you rather than makes you "earn it" like vintage style Fender instruments do. Quality: Just excellent. I get compliments on the appearance frequently. Something about the tortoise pickguard (normally I dislike this color) over the white really is different. I do wish it came with the vintage style tuners, but these work very well indeed. Value: In comparison to my G&Ls and Fender American Vintage Reissue 62, the only picks are the poly finish (but it is vey smoothly done) and the bridge string height screws. The sound and playability is definitely pro level. Manufacturer Support: ZZounds stands behind their products. The Wow Factor: Nice, plays very nicely, really looks good and sounds great. Overall: It's a keeper. I am picky and can own any guitar made (and pretty much have), but this one is excellence and value embodied which makes it a first choice player for live shows. I got it as a "blemish" and I cannot find anything wrong with it... a much better sounding, equal playability and better looking guitar than the new American Standard Strat I just returned. The only level above this instrument would be Custom Shop.

Sound: My wife bought this Fender Deluxe Lone Star Stratocaster for me as an early Birthday present and I am very impressed to say the least. I was looking for a blues-rock sound and get it thru the guitar, but have to work at it as I have a Peavy Vypyr 75 amp which is more confusing for a starting out novice like myself. Feature: Kinda ok gig bag, nothing special and will most likely get a hard case if I ever leave the bedroom with it.... Ease of Use: I don't really hear much tone difference in the 5 way selector switch once you come off the humbucker. Tone knob does is not very defined as well. Quality: Pretty impressed with the quality.... Value: Great value for the money..... Manufacturer Support: No problems yet.... The Wow Factor: Love the looks.... Overall: Will never sell this guitar, but am looking at getting a used Les Paul as well

Sound: This guitar sounds amazing. The upgraded pickups are fantastic. I especially love the overdrive sound with the humbucker. Feature: Really a great buy. For the money you can't beat it. I upgraded the tuners to the fender locking tuners and put an L.R. Baggs x-bridge in it and use it for everything. Ease of Use: Very playable. Needed a setup when I got it, the action wasn't right. Quality: Top quality. Value: Hard to beat. Manufacturer Support: Haven't needed support. The Wow Factor: Lots of compliments on the look of this guitar. Overall: I'll be playing this one for years.
