From Our Research Team:

When All You Really Want is an Amazing Guitar

The American Standard Stratocaster® solidbody electric guitar is the latest evolution of an American classic, priming it for the 21st century. The alder body with a maple neck and fingerboard stay true to the original recipe for classic tone. But this American Standard Strat® packs a very trio of pickups - Custom Shop Fat 50s single-coils pickups, previously only reserved for Fender's top-line Custom Shop guitars! These premium pickups pack all the bark and bite that made the Strat sound famous. You'll also love the classic FENDER® touches and fan-favorites like hand-rolled fingerboard edges, staggered tuning machines, and aged knobs and pickups covers on the Fender American Standard Stratocaster solidbody electric guitar.



Fender American Standard Stratocaster Solidbody Electric Guitar at a Glance:
  • Premium Custom Shop pickups
  • American Standard Stratocaster Bridge
  • Fender SKB Case

Premium Custom Shop pickups
No matter how well you play, your pickups will play a big part in determining whether your tone is epic or not. The latest model of the Fender American Standard Stratocaster sports three Custom Shop Fat 50s single-coil pickups, an amazing value on a guitar at this price. Normally only used on Fender's top-line Custom Shop guitars, these pickups put out the essence of classic Fender tone. Cleans are bright and clear, the midrange has bite, and you can take your tube amplifier from mellow to raging simply with your volume control.

American Standard Stratocaster Bridge
The American Standard Stratocaster boasts a bridge that gives sought-after tone with modern smooth trem travel. This redesigned block retains the mass and tone of a vintage bridge block, but is chambered for access to deeper dives. A typical cast bridge block is impregnated with a resin to eliminate 'voids' in the material and to bond it together. Fender's new steel block is infused with copper, which makes the block 100% homogeneous metal. The result is a more musical, higher mass bridge that has more of that machined-block sound.

Fender SKB Case
The new case is a true advancement in guitar presentation and protection. It is stackable, it balances perfectly, it is TSA lock equipped, and has glass reinforced nylon trigger latches and a killer form-fitted plush interior. It's the perfect way to keep your American Standard Stratocaster safe for a lifetime.

2012 American Standard strat

As guitars go this is the 25th one I own. Got it from Sweetwater as a Christmas gift. 1.. It came boxed/new/and inspected 2. Nice case. 3. The best playing fender I have. I own all kinds of other make... read more [+]s/brands and models. The nicest thing is the smooth playablitity. I stays in tune when gently using the tremelo. The finish and craftsmanship is as expected for a $1000 US guitar. That is to say its well done. Now the only reason it doesn't get a perfect score 1. I have many top ibanez guitars that are ar well made for the same price and play better. Especially the equally price Ibanez premium I got at Sweetwater last year 2. Although the are great sounding vintage pickups they are a bit too noisy(especially) on distorted tones for my taste. Otherwise I absolutely love it and if this is going to be an all around great playable and cherished guitar. close [-]

Fender does a great job on these guitars. Set up well right out of the box, and the custom shop pickups sound great compared to other American standard strats I've used.
