zZounds Gear Experts Say...
With outstanding tone and playability, this Strat has become iconic for righties and lefties alike. This left-handed model features hand-rolled fingerboard edges and Alnico V pickups.

Icon. Not a word to be used lightly. But the Stratocaster is just that. The new American Standard left-handed 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 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.

I love my american standard strat! I have always wanted one and especially in white it looks amazing. This is definitely my dream guitar because I could never afford one of this quality. My only regret would be, I didn't get the 2012 model, hopefully when the next year rolls around I'll pick up the 2013 version. The tones that I get from this strat are probably the best sounds I have heard from any guitar I've owned like ever. It would be cool to get an american telecaster so I might get one to add to my fender collection.
