Fender Standard Stratocaster Guitar

30th April

What makes the Fender Stratocaster an individual guitar is the unique, intimate sound that comes from the three single coil pickup setup. You may find they can be a little noisy at times and can take time to get to grips with at high volumes, they do have a raw sound  that is perfect for that rock n roll sound. They have a great fit and finish, with exceptional attention to detail. Plus others would say I’m sure that the Fender Strat holds tuning very well. I found the action on my Stratocaster was setup great for me, which is an added bonus as well. You’ll often find the manufacturers settings on some guitars higher than you may want it to be. I chose a maple board for my Fender Stratocaster as it just seems to glide nicely, as well as a satin neck which is nice and smooth. They do comein a variety of wood finishes, but obviously its all about your own preference. The American Standard Stratocaster comes with a new bridge, with refined bent-steel saddles for that increased resonance and sustain. The saddles keep that classic look and tone, but with a few modern improvements for example spacing, slot elongation and height screw length.The bridge is made to complement the 22 medium jumbo frets and rolled edges which gives you more space for your fingers . They also elongated the string slot to reduce friction and string breakage, while improving the string break angle over the primary contact point. Besides all this the fact that the Fender Stratocaster is one of the most sought after model of guitar tells you a lot in its self.

I ordered my Fender Stratocaster on the net from Music 123, which is a great site if not just because of their prices, but the fact they are so honest with their reviews. The items they sell are of the highest quality. My Stratocaster was available with many finishes including the wood finishes and colors and on top of that a number of optional pickup covers, knobs, and tips.
