I just bought a new Fender deluxe roadhouse Stratocaster. I get almost no sound out of the neck pickup and no out of phase sound with the pickup switch at the fourth position. I have tried adjusting the height of the neck pickup with no success. What am I missing?

Sounds like you're missing the guitar you paid for. Did you test the pick ups before you left the store or was it delivered? might be a bad weld. The wires might not be making full contact on to the connection of the pick up or the switch.

    If it's a Squire copy, That's your problem. I bought a Squire once. owned it for one night and during our usual weekend bonfires, I added my donation. It was worth it.

    A "Squire" is definitely a copy, but a "Squier" can be a decent beginning or intermediate guitar. If you bought it at a guitar store, take it back to them for a proper setup that they should have done in the first place.

I bought a used black Fender Stratocaster about 20 years ago with the serial # H 035195 silkscreened on the headstock. At the base of the neck near the body, it has stamped " Made in USA".

I suspect the H is really an N, which would place it.1990-91. As long as the adjustment screw for the truss rod is at the base of the neck. The plugged top end isn't a concern. Your best source of info is to contact Fender customer service directly. Here's the link-

Oops you may have to replace the switch, it sounds like you have worn it out. You may be able to find a replacement on e-bay at a decent price or at your local Fender Dealer.
