Fender American Standard Strat 1997 Sonic Blue (Pre-owned)

The American Standard Stratocaster was the off the shelf model produced by Fender for many years, well known for their superb build quality and playability before being replaced by the American Professional. It is considered as a great all around guitar from the american range, considered the benchmark before moving onto the Deluxes/Elites.

This particular model is constructed from Alder, paired with a maple neck and fingerboard. The medium jumbo frets with the 9.5" radius offers fantastic playability and comfort in the hand. The guitar is loaded with 3 American Standard singlecoil pickups, wound in the USA featuring Alnico V magnets. These pickups sound vintage but offer a nice clarity and bite, meaning this guitar can cover a lot of ground.

The guitar also features the TBX tone pot, meaning that the bottom tone pot is wired to the bridge pickup and when it is on "10", it is bypassed completely keeping some of the top end in the signal otherwise lost.

The 2-point synchronized American Standard tremolo system is smooth and offers great tuning stability, keeping your strings in check whilst you dive and flutter to your hearts content.

This guitar has had very light use and has never been gigged, it is in phenomenal condition for its age. This is a great example of a american built guitar that will last for many years to come.

This guitar has been set-up and serviced in house here at Muso Tech.

This is a secondhand item and comes with a 3 month warranty and a hard case.
