Fender Deluxe Roadhouse Stratocaster 2023
$1,225 Negotiable
SHIPPING OFFERED
Fender Deluxe Roadhouse Stratocaster 2023 MIM. Mystic Ice Blue Finish Electric Guitar w/Gig Bag. As new. Selling for $1225 ono. I bought this strat only 2 months ago as felt i needed to have a strat in my collection. My strat owning colleagues are impressed with it and I have to say I do like it, but find the middle pick up leaves me less picking room than I like - I do pick deeply, sloppy technique I guess. (All my other guitars have just the two pups.)
I took it to my luthier who maintains all my guitars and he was very impressed. He has the older model of the same guitar but changed the pick ups to some expensive boutique ones and when we AB’d them we couldn’t tell the difference between his and mine, plus mine has all the new models extras: locking tuners, 2 point trem, the extra active cct, the upper heel with its cut away contour and the 12 inch radiant neck.
I’m not in a rush to sell as I have a few guitars for sale. I’ll see what moves. The review online for this guitar are very good.

Review points: While the previous editions of the Roadhouse came with a 241mm (9.5-inch) fingerboard radius, the new model packs a flatter 305mm (12-inch) camber. Yes, the same radius as a Gibson Les Paul. The 305mm fingerboard radius is a revelation. The action in both guitars is set low, but there's no choking or buzzing to get your blood up, if you have a light touch.
The playability of this guitar is outstanding. Fender could have easily whacked a set of fat frets on the Roadhouse, but we like the vintage vibe of these 'narrow-but-tall' jobs.
We can't imagine anyone taking issue with that shared Modern C neck profile, either. It's slim and fast, especially with that drag- reducing satin polyurethane finish, yet there's still enough palm-filling wood to remind you that you're not dealing with some skin and bones shred machine.
Those of you who are a bit more heavy-handed may want to raise the strings a tad, but you'll still enjoy stress-free bending. If you're still struggling with the concept of a Fender guitar with a Gibson-like radius, it's worth noting that iconic Strat-o-phile and fusion genius Eric Johnson spec'd a 305mm radius on his signature Stratocaster. Yeah, now you feel better...
Some forum jockeys have dismissed Noiseless pickups as underpowered and uninspiring. We beg to differ. Plugging in the Roadhouse reveals a slew of classic Strat tones with midrange honk, treble sparkle, and percussive bass but without any noise or hum.
When the S-1 switch engages the preamp, six different and distinct tone settings are available ranging from fat lead tones with enhanced midrange to shimmering rhythm tones with slinky treble.
THE BOTTOM LINE
The Deluxe Roadhouse Stratocaster is a gig-worthy guitar for players who need a variety of Strat tones at their fingertips, but its noise- and hum-free performance makes it an ideal studio tool as well.
Guitar Features:
• An extremely versatile Stratocaster that's made to be a workhorse
• Special V6 rotary switch gives you 6 distinct tones from the onboard preamp
• S-1 switch bypasses the preamp for pure Strat tone
• Alder body and modern C-shaped maple neck are comfortable to play
• A trio of Vintage Noiseless pickups offers up vintage tone with no hum
• Vintage tremolo for classic Stratocaster performance
Superbly playable and supremely affordable
The Fender Deluxe Roadhouse Stratocaster delivers a lot of bang for the buck. You start with that classic custom contoured Strat body with all its sleek lines. The solid alder body sports a trio of toneful Vintage Noiseless pickups that cover everything from soft and smooth to dirty and raunchy. The Deluxe Roadhouse Stratocaster comes with a maple neck and fingerboard - but with a modern "C" shape and a 12" radius for super-smooth licks, runs, and arpeggios.
