Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Excellent

SP Luthier Notes: This instrument has been carefully inspected and, if necessary, serviced by our certified luthier to ensure it is in excellent playing condition.

Representing Fender's flagship modern platform, this American Standard Stratocaster is finished in Blizzard Pearl over an alder body. Weighing 7 lbs 3 oz, it features a maple neck with a Modern "C" profile, satin urethane back finish with gloss headstock face, Bi-Flex truss rod, and a 9.5" radius rosewood fingerboard equipped with 22 medium jumbo frets, white dot inlays, and a 1.685" synthetic bone nut across a 25.5" scale. Powered by a trio of American Standard Single-Coil Strat pickups controlled via a 5-way blade switch, master volume, neck pickup tone control, and a No-Load tone control for the middle and bridge pickups, it comes fitted with chrome hardware including a 2-point synchronized tremolo with bent steel saddles, deluxe staggered cast/sealed tuning machines, a 3-ply parchment pickguard, and a hardshell case.

From Fender

Today’s new American Standard Stratocaster guitars are worthy heirs of their revered ancestors—mindful of player needs and taking full advantage of modern advances, yet remaining completely true to the elements and spirit that made these instruments legendary in the first place. Improvements include a new bridge, a new neck and body finish, and a Fender-exclusive high-tech molded case. Of course we have kept the beloved hand-rolled fretboard edges, AlNiCo V pickups, and staggered tuning machines for tone and stability guaranteed to last a lifetime (with its limited lifetime warranty)! So make history with the new American Standard!
