Fender delivers yet again with the re-emergence of the Standard Stratocaster! This Made in Mexico offering punches well above its weight thanks to quintessential features that help make the Strat, a Strat!
Let's start with a Poplar body. Poplar is a lightweight wood that complements the bright and bouncy tonal qualities some of the most desirable Strats have. The solid maple neck has a comfy Modern C Neck profile with a decidedly classic Fender Feel. The trio of Standard Stratocaster Pickups brings some heat and sounds great plugged straight into a tube amp or through any of the amazing modeling amps out there. If you've ever played a Strat before, the controls and layout are a breeze to navigate otherwise, you'll be familiar in a matter of minutes!
Seriously, Fender knocked this one out of the park! It'd be a bargain at a couple hundred bucks more so snag one before Fender smartens up!
"Built to accompany players on their formative musical adventures, the Fender® Standard Stratocaster® delivers the approachable playability and inspiring tone that made Fender an icon of rock & roll. Powered by a set of Fender Standard pickups for high-output sonic character and an inviting “Modern C”-shaped neck for superior playing comfort, this Strat® truly sets the standard for the Fender experience."
