1997 Deluxe (mim). Originally a Powerhouse Strat but all electronics were removed before I bought it. Loaded American Special pickguard, electronics. Texas Specials with the Duncan.Have had this one for 5 or 6 years. By far my favorite strat.
I bought a HSS Sienna Sunburst Strat in 2005 and noticed the Deluxe Strat in Musicians Friend and realized I had a month to return the Sienna SB but when I made it to GC where I purchased the SSB there were no Deluxe Strats available. Much to my joy the salesman pointed me to a Sunburst Eric Johnson Strat that I was just playing a few minutes ago. No regrets but I at least would have had a picture for this post.

It sure is a nice Strat like a Brad Gillis style. Your guitar is one year older than my Fender American Std. Strat.
It does look very red in the picture but is actually Candy Apple Red. Like the Brad Gillis reference.
