1993 Fender Stratocaster Plus – Lipstick Candy Apple Red / Upgraded with Noiseless N3 pickguard / Jeff Beck Vibes

Strat Plus Series was introduced by Fender in 1987 and was the highest end production model next to Fender’s Custom Shop guitars. Production was stopped in July of 1998. There was some transitional Strat Plus’ in 1999 that were a mix of the new DX Strat series and the Plus Series. You can tell by the serial number, which started with DN9XXXXX and they also had a chrome Fender logo on the headstock. While some were sold as a “Plus” they were sort of a hybrid have Fender’s new Noiseless pickups, yet retaining the locking tuners, roller nut and American bridge. These went on to be the American Deluxe Strat Series.
