Fender American Standard Stratocaster Electric Guitar,Black with Rosewood Fingerboard

Product Description

Freshly updated, the American Standard Stratocaster combines the classic tone and style of its forbearers with a set of sleek refinements. This Strat wields upgraded Custom Shop Fat ’50s pickups, improved hardware, and a thinner undercoating which enhances resonance through the entire instrument. The American Standard Strat has always been a go-to guitar for players in every genre; with this release, the incredibly popular guitar just keeps getting better.

Custom Shop Fat ’50s Single-coil Pickups

The American Standard Strat includes three Fender Custom Shop Fat ’50s pickups. These powerful single-coils are featured on some of Fender’s highest-end custom models and represent the best of the best in Fender electronics. Classic Stratocaster tone is most often defined by its brightness and versatility, and the Fat 50s do an outstanding job in both regards. There’s enough high-end bite to play syncopated funk parts, and enough depth to strum some folk-rock chord progressions. The triple set of Fat ’50s deliver everything you’d expect and more in vintage Strat sound.

Improved Hardware and Features

In addition to its stellar new pickups, Fender has implemented other changes to enhance this guitar’s tone and playability. The undercoating finish is thinner than in previous releases which allows the wood to breathe more openly and enables better resonance through the body and neck. The two-point synchronized tremolo bridge with classic Fender whammy bar has been refined for better tuning stability. The package also includes a molded SKB case and a healthy dose of Fender “case candy.”

Comfortable C-shaped Neck and Rosewood Fretboard

Stratocaster aficionados have always celebrated the smooth playability afforded by the classic Strat neck. This version uses the popular C-shaped profile with a rosewood fingerboard to achieve that timeless Strat feel. The rosewood fingerboards seems to have less string tension and a warmer sound than maple. The neck’s edges have also been hand-rolled for further comfort as your hands glide up and down the fretboard.
