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 makes/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.

Still a great value

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. As expensive as gear is these days, it's good to know you can still get a great guitar for a reasonable price.

It's Like Butter

It's a Strat...nuf sed. OK, actually, I could say allot but, I am limited to how much space I have. So, it's like butter will just have to do. Anyone that plays guitar will know what I mean. Thanks, Fender
