The Deluxe Super Start has the classic Stratocaster body and plays much like the Standard Stratocaster, but there are some distinctions with this model.
The first is the Super Fat "Super" Strat single coil pickups.
The Deluxe Super Strat comes with the traditional 5-way pick-up switch.

Uk Strat, while I can't argue your statement about late 70's strats being inconsistent, they may be, but If blinfolded you and gave you one of my 79's to play I think you would change your opinion.
I do have a smith strat that's a bit more vintage sounding but I've had lots of more recent US and CS Strats and comparitivly speaking the 79's have a better sound than most and play great, I especially love the neck carves they were producing at that time.

 Strat Collector News Desk: The 1980-83 Fender "STRAT"
According to Fender pricelists, the STRAT listed for $995 in 1980 ($250 more than a Stratocaster), was raised to $1,095 in 1981 and was priced at $1,150 in 1982 at which it remained until discontinued in early 1983.
The STRAT was made at a very unique time in Fender history when extra attention was given to detail and materials and the resulting quality of the STRAT is second to none.
All the hardware on the STRAT is of the highest quality with a heavy coat of 22k gold plating- the heaviest most durable gold finish ever used on a guitar.

A healthy combination of vintage P-90 thinking in a Strat package, with staggered nickle-steel pole pieces, non-microphonic glass-fiber bobbins, and our exclusive gold-screen shielding for low noise.
These pickups defy the myth that high-output equals muffled, flubby tone.The special-design magnets on each pickup form a continuous magnetic field from the bridge to the neck of the guitar, for a smooth, equal output from all three pickups.
The Super 90 tonal character is fully compatable with Strat neck and middle pickups, and is specifically designed to sound great through the same amp you already use for vintage Strat pickups.

 Return of Shred Guitars: Yngwie Malmsteen Strat   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
In the 1980’s, a hot-rodded “Super Strat” configuration was THE guitar to own for up and coming rock guitarists.
Take a basic Stratocaster style body and ditch the pick guard, add a relatively flat radius wide neck with jumbo frets and action set super low, use at least one high-output humbucker for the bridge position, and finally equip it with the obligatory locking tremolo system.
Fender began producing a signature series of Stratocasters for Yngwie beginning in the late 1980’s, just prior to the high-speed guitar playing styles and music quietly went underground to be replaced by grunge, and later ‘nu-metal’.

 Tokai Forum - a subsidiary of TokaiRegistry.com :: View topic - How to get the best out of my TST-50???!!!
Yes, a TST is a Strat, but as you say the problem and the "solution" is the same, except that you can't use the tone knobs on a normal Strat setup for the bridge pickup, because they only work for the middle and neck position.
In the mid '80s the so-called Super Strats came up with a humbucker instead of a single coil pickup in the bridge position, Tokai built a lot of those, too, which probably are one of the most underrated models now.
My self-built hardtail Strat does not have a humbucker at the bridge, by the way, but a wiring that allows to use bridge and middle or bridge and neck single coils as a humbucker, i.e.

As alluring as this sounds to Strat players, it's a problem to access so many colors in a practical way.
By breaking free of this limitation, I was able to rethink this entire matter and arrive at a rational switching system that provides all of the very best combinations and still makes mechanical sense.
Tone controls follow the standard Strat convention, i.e., no tone control for the bridge position.

This new version of what formerly was called the Super Strat has a set of features, a quality, and a price that when taken collectively add up to the perfect choice for many Strat-loving guitarists.
The noise of the standard Fender single coils was about the only rap against the older Strats, but with the Noiseless you get unadulterated Fender single-coil sound and they operate as quietly as the best humbuckers.

 G&L Guitars
Aside from the split design, the Comanche pickups echo those of GandL’s ASAT — wide-aperture single-coils that are louder and fatter than Strat pickups.
The Z pickups’ separated-coil configuration enhances the highs and lows, and because the two coils are wound in opposite directions, each pickup is humbucking.
The bass knob is especially handy for nudging the hefty Z pickups toward vintage Strat tones, and the treble control is great for dialing in smoky, jazz-approved colors.

 Rewiring FAQ
In some respects, the original Strat wiring is intended to let you have two tone settings, however they tend to interact, whereas the arrangement described here provides crystal clear treble on the bridge pickup regardless of where your tone control is set when using the other pickups.
For example, on a Strat the 4th harmonic on the 5th fret on any open string creates a node right over the neck pickup and can't be heard unless you switch to one of the other pickups.
The sound is quite similar to a vintage Strat in the bridge+middle "in-between" position, but of course not exactly like it, so that if you have a choice and it's really the Strat sound you want, you will want to use the Strat.

 Texas Style Strat Sets: SD Pickups, Custom Hand-Wound Pickups by Dave Stephens, Stephens Design
Not all my Strat sets are hot wound, the Mojo V, for example is underwound, the new Fifty Nine set is in the middle, its not about hot, its about tone and your personal rig.
Listen carefully to Stevie's playing and tone and you will hear that he had to work for every note, for the talented players these will shine, for low volume bedroom players I wouldn't recommend them for hot stinging leads, these are not really hot pickups, they ooze with harmonic content, not overly pushy output.
I have combined a taller coil for traditional Strat brightness and bite (and quack), with non-traditional wire and winds to give you a loud super Strat tone that puts standard Strat pickups to shame.

Ive tried Standard Fender Strats and Ive tried 2 of these Squire guitars, both of them about 3 years old, which would be plenty of time for a low quality guitar to fall apart.
Me and this guitar have had a lot of adventures together, played so many gigs, made me the coolest person around, and though I'm considering buying a les paul, this strats career is far from over.
In conclusion, this guitar is well worth the money, but you might want to make a few replacements here and there (I.E. New Cable, Headphones, and Strap Lock) but this solid durable guitar is much more than it looks like.
