Standard American Fender Stratocaster Guitar
What makes the Fender Stratocaster an outstanding guitar is the unique, intimate sound which comes from the three single coil pickup configuration. Although they can be a little loud at times and need time to learn to handle at high volumes, they do have an edge to them that is perfect for that rock n roll sound. They have a great fit and finish, with amazing attention to detail. I’m know others would say I’m sure that the Stratocaster holds tuning very well. The action on my Stratocaster was setup about right for me, which is a plus as well. you will often find that the factory settings on some guitars higher than they need to be. I chose a maple board for my Fender Stratocaster as it seems to glide smoothly, as well as a satin neck which is nice and smooth. They do comein a variety of wood finishes, but it depends upon what is right for you. The American Standard Stratocaster comes with a new bridge, with improved bent-steel saddles for that increased resonance and sustain. The saddles keep that classic look and tone, but with some modern improvements for example spacing, slot elongation as well as height screw length.The bridge has been made to complement the 22 medium jumbo frets and rolled edges which gives you more space for your fingers . They also elongated the string slot to reduce friction and string breakage, while which improves the string break angle over the primary contact point. Besides all this the fact that the Stratocaster is after all one of the most sought after guitar tells you a lot.
I bought my Stratocaster on the net from Music 123, which is a great site if not just because of their prices, but because they are so honest with their reviews. The items they sell are top quality. My Stratocaster was available with several finishes including the wood finishes and colors as well as a number of optional pickup covers, knobs, and tips.
