SOLD - 1997 Fender Deluxe Series Powerhouse Strat - £300 if gone this weekend!
ThatWasley
Frets: 4
Temporary Price Reduction: If gone this weekend, I'll take £300, which is the price of a second hand Mexican standard at the going rate so it's a damn bargain folks!
I'm probably gonna regret this one but I've seen something else for sale that I REALLY fancy, and this is the only guitar I'm prepared to let go in order to get it, so...
1997 Fender deluxe powerhouse strat, Made in Mexico.
Now before I go any further, I'm going to say up front that the actual MDX circuit has been removed from the wiring rig, so would need to be refitted (and a new battery clip purchased for it too, as the only way to remove was to clip that off) but what this has (once put back in!) is effectively a Clapton-style midboost circuit in it, which when powered by a battery, gives you a 12db mid-boost which I believe was activated from the middle pot!
I've never actually used the MDX circuit as I took it out and replaced the bridge pup with a Tex-Mex pup, effectively turning it into a Jimmy Vaughan strat in all but name, but that's neither here nor there, just thought I'd explain why I can't tell you a great deal about it, lol.
These MAY have been made in Mexico but believe me they're on par with the US guitars and the £915 rpp gives you an indication as to why. Don't have the wammy bar for it, but dare say I can find one somewhere if needed (my old man may have a spare kicking about even if I don't!)
The guitar has seen plenty of use, little dings on the body, wear to the fretboard as shown in the photo's and the finish has gone a little more see-through in places where the arm has rubbed the body but most people refer to this as mojo and it IS nearly twenty years old. For a guitar long-discontinued, that plays as good as it does,I think I'm asking a fair price.
Can be collected from Doncaster but if not TOO far would be willing to meet half way.
No trades thanks as the chap selling the guitar I'm interested in has kindly offered to take it off sale until I can sell this, so need a straight sale please.
All in all, I can't rave about how good this guitar is, and I really hate to think I'm letting it go, but it's the only guitar I have with me that my conscience will let me move on (as I haven't owned it for more then a decade like I have some of my other's that are worth anything!) so needs must and all that.
All trial's are welcome. Cheers

It's because I took the description from it's gumtree listing. Will edit it in now.
For anyone interested though, I'm after about £350.
What is the actual spec now in terms of pups / circuitry?
Have had it rewired to classic wiring configuration, with a Tex-Mex pup in the bridge; neck and middle pickup are (I assume) the original pup's that came with the guitar. Only got the guitar myself last summer so can't say what was done to it before I got it but the 12db boost was working when I got it so I assume all is right with it, just didn't like it so had it rewired.
Here's a photo of the PCB.
