The most notable development in the history of the Stratocaster in the early and mid 1990s was the sheer proliferation of different models. At the end of the 1980s, there were no more than a dozen Strat variations to choose among, and even that seemed like a lot; these included the flagship American Standard model, the Deluxe American Standard Stratocaster (introduced in 1989) like the one we have here, the 1957 and 1962 reissue models, two artist signature models (Eric Clapton and Yngwie Malmsteen), the high-end Strat Plus, two short-lived specialized models (the U.S. Contemporary Stratocaster and H.M. Stratocaster) and a couple Custom Shop models (a Mary Kaye reissue and a limited edition 35th anniversary model).
The Deluxe series morphed into the American Deluxe series and continued to offer high-performance “ultra-Strat” models with more vintage-accurate body shaping, a more comfortable new neck profile with rolled fingerboard edges, quiet new Noiseless pickups, locking tuners, finer cosmetic appointments and other features appealing to more technically oriented players.
The Strat Plus differed from other Strats in its use of Lace Sensor pickups and locking tuners. This model was made in a number of rarer finishes which are worth more to collectors than those with standard Fender finishes. This pickup set would later be used in the Clapton signature model. The Deluxe version of the Strat plus used two Silver and one Blue Lace Sensor pickups.
