2016 Fender Stratocaster American Standard

For your consideration, Garrett Park Guitars presents this 2016 Fender Stratocaster American Standard.

The Fender American Standard Stratocaster remains the go-to choice for millions of musicians who need a well built, no frills guitar that looks sexy but still has deep history and credibility. The fact that countless professional guitarists who can afford any guitar still choose to have at least one Stratocaster in their arsenal is a testament to its magnetism. Not to mention the guitarists whose careers are inextricably linked to the model, such as Eric Clapton, David Gilmour, Stevie Ray Vaughan, John Mayer, and Mark Knopfler to name a few. It is the guitar that can do it all, the swiss-army-knife guitar, but still has enough signature tone in its glassy, bell-like attack to have a world unto itself. For anyone looking to have only one guitar, the Fender American Standard Stratocaster has to be part of the discussion.

The current Fender American Standard Stratocaster uses an Alder body covered in a urethane three-tone sunburst finish, with three-layer parchment pickguard held in place by eleven screws. The knobs and pickup covers are made of a more durable plastic, and the pole pieces have a slightly smaller .187 inch diameter, though the model now comes with Fender Custom Shop Fat ‘50s pickups, which include period correct cloth-covered wiring. The neck is Maple with a separate Maple fingerboard with a wider 9.5 inch radius, and has a satin urethane finish on back for a smoother feel. The tuners are chrome Fender-designed sealed units, and the pickup selector is now five-way (including the hum-cancelling 2 and 4 “quacktone” combination positions). Finally, the Fender American Standard uses a modern two-point synchronized unit
