Comments: Hi Xhefri, Excellent page and detail to follow on the question of where does my guitar fit in terms of age and year. So it an E470114 Stratocaster Deluxe model with a maple neck from 86-88 is the age I was told and a brown burst with three Gold Lace sensors. I let a few players use it for recording over the years locally and I keep it tucked away for now. I love it thank you for such great info!!! They lost money making these apparently was the rumored story way back in 89.

Comments: Wonderful site, Xhefri is THE go-to source of knowledge about the fabulous Fender Strat Ultra guitar. I purchased an antique burst model in the early 90's and 28 years later I'm still enjoying playing and learning about these amazing guitars!

Comments: Hello again Xhefri, last year I purchased a 1991 Strat Dlx Ultra. Beautiful instrument, it's got the flame that angles down on top and flame on the bottom. My issue was the stupid Wilkinson roller nut. My '98 I purchased new has the LSR. I didn't think the old roller nut would be a problem but sure enough, my ER 1st side collapsed. So after looking at all the older Ultras with the LSR and adapter installed I bought the part and had Gary Brawer in San Francisco do the repair. Other than the 3 weeks it took to get it back I can't be happier. He also set it up and adjusted the springs. Honestly, I looked at the new Ultra Strat release, I don't think it holds a candle to our older Ultras.

Comments: First off, what an amazing website and thank you for a lifetime of work on Guitars. I have an American start Plus ( I believe ) SN N980598. This guitar ended up in my studio because the original owner has passed and his widow has asked me to sell it for her. ( My dilemma is this) a fabulous Crimson Frost Strat without Lace pups but standard pups, definitely a plus neck with Wilkinson nut on Maple fretboard, Tilt with Tremsetter, and I cannot ID this guitar to put a price on it. This I believe is a transition guitar that you might be interested in because it's a wierdo. I would be glad to send Photos etc, or whatever ya might need or want. I did pop the neck to insure it is not a fake and it is the real deal. I figure you are busy but if ya can, lemme know and again, thanks for a fabulous site and your time.
