This guitar is in almost perfect condition, presenting outwardly as fresh off the rack. Up close, it has its share of standard “black guitar marks” in the form of light scratching and marks in the black finish. However, there are no impressions or deep marks of note, none that can diminish from the guitar’s aesthetic appeal, and none that affect the functionality or sound. It performs without issue, and comes with a hard case.
Today’s new American Standard Stratocaster guitars are worthy heirs of their revered ancestors—mindful of player needs and taking full advantage of modern advances, yet remaining completely true to the elements and spirit that made these instruments legendary in the first place. Improvements include a new bridge, a new neck and body finish, and a Fender-exclusive high-tech molded case. Of course we have kept the beloved hand-rolled fretboard edges, AlNiCo V pickups, and staggered tuning machines for tone and stability guaranteed to last a lifetime (with its limited lifetime warranty)! So make history with the new American Standard!
