Going strong for the better part of six decades, the Fender Standard Stratocaster continues to deliver legendary tone and outstanding value. No matter what your genre, this Strat offers all the iconic features and qualities of the classic model at an exceptional price. For smooth playability, flawless quality, and legendary tone in an affordable Fender, the Standard Strat with maple fingerboard is an easy choice.

Timeless Features and Design

Every feature of this Strat comes backed with a legacy as old as the electric guitar itself. The time-tested combination of three single-coil pickups offer a robust tonal palette, while the iconic contoured body shape provides ample comfort and playability. The neck is made of maple using modern C-shape profile and capped with a maple fingerboard. Rounded out by an array of vintage-styled flourishes and a high mass bridge blocked with included tremolo arm, it's hard to imagine how Fender packed so much into such an affordable guitar.

The Right Tone for Any Occasion

Since 1954, the Stratocaster has supplied guitarists with an swiss army knife of tonal tools by way of its versatile three pickup configuration. A five-way pickup selector allows simple switching between the various combinations which places a huge range of tonal potential at your fingertips. Funky high-end sparkle, countrified twang, denser blues-rock tones -- the Fender Standard Strat does it all and more. Think of the guitar giants who have yielded Strats over the years: Bluesmen like Buddy Guy and Stevie Ray Vaughn, classic-rockers like Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix, and alt-rock icons like Billy Corgan and John Frusciante. Every one of them left a mark on the sound of popular music, and they each did it with a Strat in hand.

Features:

- Classic Stratocaster design, tone, and feel
- Modern C-shape neck profile with comfortable maple fingerboard and smooth satin back finish
- Three classic standard single-coil Strat pickups and five-way selector
- Vintage-style synchronized tremolo bridge with groovy whammy bar
- Three-ply pickguard and chrome hardware for major vintage appeal

For first-time players and old pros alike, no guitar collection is complete without an iconic Fender Strat. The Standard Strat with maple fretboard is an amazing deal on an absolute classic. zZounds is an authorized dealer of Fender products.

Customer Reviews
4.5 out of 5 (33 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Very impressed"
Overall: This is my third MIM and I continue to be impressed by them. I got the Lake Placid Blue this time and it looks beautiful. I honestly cannot understand why an American strat costs more than twice as much. Is it just because of labor costs? The quality here is just as good. It was shipped to me fast and left at my door for me. A quick tuning and she was ready to go :)

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. Fender Standard Strat Customer Review
Sound: I am very impressed withe the sound of this product. It holds distortion and clarity really well. I am surprised how these pickups are so hot, thinking it was going to be a better blues guitar. The maple neck is so awesome. I have rosewood guitars that sound beautiful, but if you want to sound gorgeous, I like the maple. I do have a gdec 15, but it sounds way better with my crate 120 rfx. Just turn up the overdrive until it barks and then you have a pretty good overall rock sound. I think that this guitar sounds more raw and heavy live than it would in recording, especially based on the strat masters like malmsteen and voodoo circle or joe stump. I saw malmsteen in concert live, and his strat sounded ferocious! But in the studio, he is merely feral; although he is still my favorite guitar player. stick with the stock strings and setup; it is great; about 1/8th of an inch is all you need on the bridge. I am thinking about installing vintage blues dimarzio pickups. Feature: This comes with a standard gig bag, it is nice [Editor's note: Gig bag no longer included]. The tremolo arm is awesome; I love screw in arms; The cord is useful but hardly good. The instruction manual is pretty good about how to care for your strat. I don't believe you can expect much else from Fender. Ease of Use: Great pickups; great setup out of the box. Quality: I have never doubted that fenders were awesome until you own one- I love the neck- it is suprisingly small and easy to use, it is glossy not raw wood; some like it - some don't. The paint job is immaculate- I wtill can't believe that it looks this good and the maple neck is the bomb! The parchment pickguard is even more beautiful up close with white black and white layers! Value: I have three total guitars around or up from this price range and I am very happy with the pickups and the paint job and the maple neck. The Wow Factor: I do not see how a girl could not look at my artic white paint job and say I want that! Overall: I may change the pickups to blusier, but I am satisified with the overall product as is. I
