The 1997 Fender Deluxe Player Stratocaster in Blonde is a late-’90s Mexican-made Strat that blends classic styling with a few thoughtful upgrades. Its ash body, finished in a translucent Blonde, lets the natural grain show through and gives it a slightly more premium, vintage-inspired look. The familiar double-cut shape is paired with a bolt-on maple neck in a Modern “C” profile, so it feels instantly comfortable and recognisable in the hands.

The maple fingerboard carries 21 medium-jumbo frets and a flatter 12-inch radius, which makes bends feel smoother and more controlled than on traditional vintage-spec Strats. It keeps the standard 25.5-inch scale length, and details like vintage-style tuners and a four-bolt neck joint stay true to classic Fender design, while touches like gold hardware on some models add a bit of visual flair.

Tonally, it sticks to a three single-coil setup with the usual volume, two tone controls, and a five-way switch, but adds a push-button system that unlocks extra pickup combinations. This expands it beyond the standard Strat sounds, giving you up to seven tonal options, from familiar chimey positions to fuller blended tones. Combined with a vintage-style tremolo bridge, it’s a versatile Strat that mixes tradition with a bit more flexibility.
