General
The Fender Stratocaster is often imitated but never bettered. The American Standard series combined the best from the past with modern improvements on the sound and playability. For many, the American Standard version is the ultimate Stratocaster. This is the Limited Edition American Standard, issued to commemorate the Stratocaster's 60th anniversary. It has a white finish with a tortoise pickguard and rosewood fretboard. This guitar features aged-white knobs and covers for an authentic vintage look.
Modern classic
The sound of this American Standard Start is marvellously fat and vintage thanks to its three Custom Shop Fat '50s single coil pickups that produce a higher output than classic alnico 5 single coils along with slightly more bass and a milder mid range. The reverse-wound middle pickup means that this guitar is hum-free in the pickup switch's mid positions. Modern features include the 22 medium jumbo frets, the two-way truss rod and the comfortable 9.5-inch neck. The vintage-style tremolo bridge has also been dramatically improved with a two-point mounting for better tuning and renewed friction-free bridge saddles and a solid steel tremolo block for more tone and sustain.
Limited edition
The Fender American Standard Stratocaster is an absolute joy to play and this Vintage White version is also a gorgeous instrument to look at. Please note that it is a limited edition and that you'd be well advised to order yours quickly to get it out of your dreams and into your arms.
