Should I buy a Fender Deluxe Player's Strat?

Question

I am looking for a quality but affordable guitar from Guitar Center. This guitar is $629.99 at Guitar Center (List price was $829.99). I want the Transparent Sapphire Blue with the Rosewood Fretboard. Can anyone tell me if this would be a good purchase? (By the way, I have been playing for about 3 years and like to play a lot of classic rock.)

Answer 2

absolutely.  list price doesnt mean anything, because no one sells it at list price, but the Fender Deluxe Player's strat is a wonderful guitar.  I have a friend in a band called Age of Evil who frequently play shows with big bands such as Trivium, Symphony X, Ballistic, Motorhead, etc and one of their lead guitarists favorite guitars is a fender deluxe strat.  Its got some great additions beyond the normal fender qualities and bang for the buck.  Another good option would be the fender powerhouse strat.  I'm endorsed by fender because they were my favorite brand when i was younger, and even thoug hthey dont make the best guitars, they make d**n good ones at good prices, and can put on almost any feature you want.
