Icon. Not a word to be used
lightly. But the Stratocaster is just that. The new American Standard
Stratocaster guitars are beauties to behold in sound, look and feel. We
kept the hand-rolled fingerboard edges, alnico V pickups and staggered
tuning machines for playability, tone and stability, and added several
new features, including:
- A new bridge with improved bent-steel saddles and a
copper-infused high-mass block for increased resonance and sustain.
- A new neck treatment—tinted for a richer presentation, with the
maple or rosewood fingerboard buffed to a high gloss. The back of the
neck still has that silky satin finish.
- A thinner finish undercoat that lets the body breathe and
improves resonance.
- A new Fender-exclusive SKB molded case.
- List Price $1589.99.
