Members Swamptones Posted November 25, 2014 Members Share Posted November 25, 2014 I'm having trouble getting my Strat ready to sell because I can't figure out why the headstock decal indicates it's an Am standard from 2003 (Z3...) and the tag says it's an Am Deluxe from 2005 (DZ5...). I don't THINK it's a deluxe, but I don't want to price it wrong. I don't know why the shop, which was reputable, sold me a guitar w different ID on tag than on headstock. And I don't remember that I thought I was buying a Deluxe, just that it was an American Strat. Photos here... Thanks for any help IDing this Strat!

Moderators Ratae Corieltauvorum Posted November 25, 2014 Moderators Share Posted November 25, 2014 The contoured neck heel is the biggest clue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Swamptones Posted November 25, 2014 Author Members Share Posted November 25, 2014 Thanks! This was the first place anyone could help me. Billybilly, that all makes sense. But Ratae, isn't the contoured neck heel a Deluxe feature? And doesn't mine have a contoured neck heel? That was one thing that confused me, and still does, I guess.

Members billybilly Posted November 25, 2014 Members Share Posted November 25, 2014 I believe Ratae is referring to the "lack of" contoured neck heel, which makes it a standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
