Description
News
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. Fender 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.

- Two beautiful new finish options, Sienna Sunburst and Blizzard Pearl

Fender American Standard Stratocaster Electric Guitar (Rosewood, With Case) Reviews

"The new generation of QUALITY and SOUND!"
Feature:
It's a strat, your going to get a lot. 5 way pickup selector which gives you a lot. Also, with strats you can get more than just 5 ways to use the pickups, i've expiremented and you can put the pickup selector i between any 2 postitions! For example, you can put the pickup selector i between 1&2, 2&3, 3&4, and 4&5! pretty cool which just gives you more features!

Quality:
ugh. you know what to expect from an American made Fender. The hand rolled edges just doubles the icing on the cake. I like how the neck and head is just one piece. Makes it a lot more sturdier compared to some Gibsons.

Value:
Great guitar, sounds like top of the line stuff. So if It was 1200 or 1300 bucks, I'd still buy it.

Desirability:
When you look at it in person it is just a preety piece of artwork. The head is clearcoted which makes it "Glisten" in the light. I got the olympic white so I could be like Jeff Beck and John Frusciente and it looks just amazing. Thats not the only reason i got that color, To me thats just the best color that goes with a rosewood fretboard.

Sound:
This guitar has the perfect sound if your looking for a bluesy or classic rock/rock sound. If you want metal or a hard crunch, put in a symour duncun Hot Rail in the bridge or anywhere else. Or even a Dimarzio Fast track 2. But for what you get it's amazing!. I've had the stock pickups for a while then put in Hot rails and now it sounds like a hybrid between Fender and Gibson!

Ease of Use:
Well, as I explained, you can get any sounds from this by setting it to your specifications like changing pickups and using then wisley. Also, you dont even need the whammy bar to get the whammy bar sound. Just push or pull on the tremolo and you will get it without accidently "Dive-Boming" it and putting it out of tune.

Overall:
This guitar sounds like a brand new guitar every time i pick it up, and if I had to buy it again, I definatly would.

" Awesome New Strat"
Feature:
I bought this new from a retailer. Comes with super nice case and all the candy inside (strap, cable, wrench, keys etc...). This one is the Blizzard Pearl with a maple neck. Simply gorgeous. A piece of art.

Quality:
I've heard good and bad about other people and thier experiences with the "new re-designed" strat. I suppose it varies on a case by case basis. The one I purchased was flawless and perfect in every way. I have seen a few on display at a few places and noticed that the neck did not sit in the pocket very well.

Value:
I bought just before Fender implimented the "across the board" price increases, but it would not have mattered. I would have paid more for it anyway.

Desirability:
I originally pick out an Olympic White with a maple neck. Took it home for a few days trying to decide (the shop I deal with will loan me one for a test drive). For some reason I decided on the Blizzard Pearl, probably because it has such a beautiful finish. The light picks up the flake in the paint and looks like a pile of snow in the sun. I will go back to get the Olympic White with rosewood neck also.

Sound:
Classic Fender strat sound. At times the p/ups are just a little too hot but easily controlled. Sounds are great overdriven tube amp.

Ease of Use:
Super easy to use and the new electronics are really nice. The frets are great, really easy to bend and vibrato seems a little easier.

Support:
I have not needed it yet so I'll start at the top and go down from there.

Overall:
I am just a hobbyist guitar player, but this thing does inspire you to do more. There are many many times that I pick it up for "just a minute for a few runs" and before I know it, 2-3 hours have passed. It's that much fun to play! I will never be on a stage playing to pay my bills, but this is one guitar that I will keep forever
