Any Squire Deluxe Strat owners?

I was looking for a budget Tele with a maple neck and came across one of these used.

I was just wondering if anyone on here owned one, and what your opinions are of them?

Thanks for any input.

I have one in the light blue. I really liked it a lot after I changed the saddles. I also installed gold lace sensor pickups. After I got the CV 50's strat I didn't play the Deluxe much. It's hard to explain, but the CV 50's is just a fun guitar to play for me. It's light weight and the tone from the factory pickups is just right for me. I still get the Deluxe out once in awhile and play it and I always think, this is a great guitar too, I need to play it more. The Deluxe is a good bit heavier than my CV and I suspect that this may be one reason I prefer the CV. My Deluxe was autographed by my favorite Blues artist, who passed away in March of this year, and I have sort of put it away for that reason also.
