The world's most famous guitar with a half-century of upgrades!

The Fender American Stratocaster Electric Guitar is a Fender icon. Juicy new upgrades include a non-veneered alder body and a hum/single/hum pickup routing for more wood, more resonance, and more tone while retaining the ability to install humbuckers at the bridge and neck. It has more highly detailed fret and nut work for greater playability and tuning stability, plus a new neck shape with rolled edges that plays faster and smoother. This Strat features the original headstock shape but has staggered machine heads losing one string tree and improving string angle over the nut. Custom staggered pickup magnets improve string-to-string balance and give the G-string better tone. Cosmetics include parchment/black/parchment pickguard and parchment pickup covers, knobs, and tips.

Fender American Stratocaster Electric Guitar Features:

• Solid alder body with hum-sing-hum routing, leaving more wood
• 3 hot single-coil pickups
• New neck shape with rolled edges for smooth, fast play
• Staggered machine heads
• Parchment/black/parchment pickguard
• Parchment pickup cover, knobs, and toggle tip

Fender American Stratocaster Electric Guitar Includes:

• Fender hardshell case

Players Dream Ax

Bought this baby after a lengthy search, since all guitars are not made equal. The improvements made to the neck are the most important to me. I tried every strat in every music shop for years trying to find that special feel. When I picked this one up and played it, I bought it on the spot. Mine is the 3 color sunburst and is stunning to the eye. The setup was perfect from the factory, and I only changed out the strings to Elixers. The tones are outstanding, plays like butter, and I use it more than my LP Deluxe, and LP Custom. Never had a problem with it going out of tune with the whammy, in fact I can take it out of the case after a 4 hour gig and it's still perfectly in tune. Believe me I do wail on this guitar, and have done so for 4 years. If you are a lead player, I highly advise you to buy this Ax, you wont be sorry.

Just got my cherry cola colored strat, and i love it. It has a great range of tone and has great action and note sustainability. This is the first strat i have owned and i think i made a good choice in this one. The price was a little steep for me but i think it will be worth it in the end. Thanks!

I played one of these babys at a guitar shop up in vermont, and man was it incredible. It played so smoothly and had such a rich tone to it. I had a really hard time putting it down. It also had an amazing range of sound, so whatever music you're into, this guitar will satisfy you. You really have to play this guitar to get a good impression of why its such a joy to play. I have played countless guitars ranging from fender to jackson to BC rich to ibanez to gibson and everything between, and this is, hands down, the best guitar I have ever played. The price is kinda steep, but if you can afford it, then I urge you to check it out.
