  Caratteristiche

  The Fender American Standard Strat was designed at the time of Fender's buyout from large conglomerate CBS. It was meant to bring everything that was good about vintage Strats and combine it with modern day features that players were requesting. It has been built virtually unchanged since 1986 and it still stands today as a premier guitar.
  
  
  
  They're built at Fender's factory in Corona California, in the good ol' US of A. They come in a variety of wild and cool colours and are available with maple or rosewood fretboards as well as in SSS or HSS models. The guitar features an alder body, a maple neck with 22 frets, sealed Fender tuners, a 2 point pivot Fender tremolo, and American Standard Fender pickups/electronics. Basically, it's what a typical Strat looks like, but in the modern age. It comes in a variety of colours to suit a variety of different tastes... there's something here for everyone!

  Facilità d'uso

  Minimal design changes have been done to this guitar over the years, with only a few basic changes in design. However the guitar has basically settled down and what is for sale now is basically a great evolution of the vintage Strat brought into the modern age. These guitars have a great weight range for sure. Some of the ash bodied ones are definitely on the weighty side, but the alder ones seem to have an excellent light to medium weight to them that rests on the body well. Upper fret access is what it is on these guitars... it's been good enough for many players over the years.
  
  
  
  Getting a good tone out of these guitars is fairly easy thanks to their updated pickups and electronics. The newer model USA pickups being put in these guitars are really something else... the pure Strat tone is there in spades. Everything from the charming top end of cleans to the sweet and saucy undertones of a driven rock and roll machine is backed by that unmistakable Fender sound.

  Suono

  I've tried many variations of the American Standard Strat over the years using different Fender, Marshall and Mesa Boogie amplifiers. The older ones tend to lack a certain crispiness that makes a Strat as good as it is. However, the newer ones have some sort of pixie dust mojo thing going on... very cool! Starting with the clean tones, I was really stoked about how the glassy textures and sparkle that marks a good Strat was very present in these newer American Standard guitars. The clean sounds were some of the most enjoyable I've tried in a while. Plugged into a good Fender amp, I was able to dial in some awesome tones ranging all the way from the 50s into the modern day, all without missing a single beat.
  
  
  
  The overdrive tones are really cool as well. I was able to dial in some great Jeff Beck and Eric Johnson esque tone summits that were certainly the highlight of my testing experience. The guitar handled whatever gain levels I threw at it and responded with a delightful Stratty "snap" that was eerily enjoyable. It's not quite as smooth/refined sounding as the American Deluxes, but it makes up for it with a more honest and sincerely killer tone that is most certainly a killer Strat.

  Opzioni Generali

  All in all I feel as though Fender is really at the top of their game. They are about $1,000 new with TSA approved flight case, which is a killer deal. If you are looking for a very real sounding Strat and need the vintage meets modern look and the feeling that you're playing an icon, get the Fender American Standard Stratocaster!

  Caratteristiche

  Made in the USA (do you think the name "American Standard" might be a clue?) This one was made in 2000, and so it has the "modern," two-pivot-screw tremolo- a better tremolo, IMO, as it allow for more movement, and holds a tune as well (also as poorly!) as the "vintage" 6-screw design. 3 single coil pickups of the "American Standard" level (there's that name, again!) 5-way switch, Volume/tone/tone knobs.

  Facilità d'uso

  Of COURSE it's got easy access to all frets. Very ergonomic, too- that's one of the hallmarks of Strats. Nice sound, as long as you accept that single coils sound like, well, single coils.

  Suono

  Play it through a good tube amp, and you will never have a complaint.

  Opzioni Generali

  Best thing about it: It's an American Standard Strat. I'd had SEVERAL strat-ish guitars prior to this one- Westone HSS, brand-X strat copy, Squier Standard Strat. Mexican and Japan Strats are almost as good, and probably better values, but if you can afford it, or a good used deal comes your way on an American Standard, step up, if for no reason then you can stop worrying about upgrading, and concentrate on your playing.

  Facilità d'uso

  One of the most popular guitars made today, I’d say the American standard is pretty usable. Comfortable thin spacing between the strings, 22 frets, HSS pickups, and nice flowing sustain. Definitely a reliable guitar that will last a while. The issue I have with these, is that I haven’t found them to be THAT much more playable than the Mexican versions, despite the significant up charge. The material quality and build s definitely significantly superior, but in terms of sheer playability, they standard series can be a little underwhelming.

  Suono

  They sound pretty great. Classic Strat tones, nots of bass on the neck pickup, and a warm liquid mids on positions 2 and 4. I really dig the HSS configuration, makes it just that much more versatile than the all single coil layout. Having a humbucker involved brings in a little more grit and attitude. 5 way switch gives you room for just about any pickup combination you could ask for, so you’ve got quite a bit of versatility tonewise. The single coils can be a little noisy, you might want to consider an upgrade at some point.

  Opzioni Generali

  A basic American Strat. Not a whole lot of fancy features, just a well built guitar with quality components. It isn’t the best guitar on the market, and a little overpriced in my book, but definitely a solid choice. This is a definitely a players guitar, and America built is important to you, go for it. Personally I would talk a look at MIJ strats as they are quite a bit more affordable at a competitive quality. Some of the older ones are just fantastic, and a great affordable alternative until you can afford a deluxe or custom shop Strat. G&L guitars are also an alternative worth looking into.

  Caratteristiche

  The Stratocaster is an icon in the world of guitar design. It was designed by Leo Fender in the mid 50s as an evolution of the Telecaster. It has a classic double cutaway design with an extended top horn for better balance. It has a contoured alder body with a pickguard where all the electronics are attached. The stratocaster has tree single coil pickups and they are selected with a 5 way blade switch. The position most rearward on the switch selects the bridge position pickup. The next position right selects the bridge and the middle pickups. The middle position on the pickup selector selects the middle pickup on the guitar. The next position selects the middle pickup and the neck pickup. And the selector position closest to the neck selects the neck pickup. The neck is a maple neck with a maple fretboard and 22 jumbo frets. The neck is not too thick and not too thin. The headstock is the iconic Fender shaped headstock with 6 tuners in a line. The bridge of the guitar is the well known Fender tremolo system which is the weakest part of the guitar.

  Facilità d'uso

  The strat shape is very comfortable. The contours on the body are perfect. This model has the rolled fret edges with make the neck comfortable as well. Some Fender Strats have a lot of gloss on the back of the neck which makes the neck sticky and hard to play on. The finish on the back of the neck on this guitar is just right. It has the dark color like a vintage strat without the sticky feel. Many guitarists do not like the large neck join that is on stratocasters. The neck is attached with four bolts in a large square joint. For some people this large square block may get in the way of their playing on the high frets. The radius on the fretboard is no super flat so you can still do large chords without hurting your hand. The American Standard Stratocaster incorporates bent steel Fender saddles. The original vintage-style Fender bent steel adjustable saddle is one of the components that give vintage Fenders their unique tone. Then Fender improved them, narrowing the spacing to afford more room (and complement the bigger frets and rolled edges), and also elongated the string slot to reduce friction and string breakage, while improving the string break angle over the primary contact point. The screws on the bridge can sometimes be sharp and get into your hand. The tone block is a special alloy that is blended with copper and is 100% homogeneous so it will produce a better tone.

  Suono

  Fender Stratocasters are known for their twangy sound. This guitar is no different. The bridge pickup gives a twangy bassy sound that you will instantly recognize. When you combine the bridge and the middle pickups the two pickups cancel out each others noise. So in this position the guitar is quieter plus it has its own tone. The neck and the middle pickup also have the same feature. When you combine them the pickups cancel out each other noise. The neck pickup is great for solos and chord playing. For me single coil pickups are better suited for clean playing or low gain playing. With a high gain metal sound the pickups will be very noisy and will have a good tone. Under high gain single coils sound harsh and tinny. With a clean tone they sound great and have a good amount of clarity. With a clean tone a good single coil will get you a bell like tone. Single coil pickups because of their design will pickup back ground noise. They are not naturally hum cancelling like humbuckers are. Over the years Fender has made the pickups quieter and quieter but they can never be totally quiet like humbuckers with the design they have.

  Opzioni Generali

  The Fender Strat is an icon in the guitar industry. It has been played for over 50 years by countless famous guitar players. Its classic design and tone means it will always be a benchmark in the guitar world. With its twang and bell like tone it will always find a place in music somewhere. If you are looking for a good solid guitar for country or light rock you can get the Fender American Standard Stratocaster. Once you start playing a stratocaster you join the group of many famous guitar players who have made their living with a strat in their hands.

  Caratteristiche

  The day I switched from playing an acoustic to an electric I took a trip to Guitar Center to see what they had. Through all the garbage they have hanging on their wall this beautiful sun burst Strat which was calling out to me. I took it off the wall and felt the neck which was amazing. The previous owner has taken off the lacker finish on the neck and it was just an oiled finish. It was so smooth and comfortable which sometimes can be a hit or miss with Strats. It felt like a guitar that had some play on it and it just formed into your hand. Much like the new Charvels it feels as though it gets better the more you play it.
  
  
  
  This one has an Ash body and a Maple neck. I took out the pickups since the neck pickup died. So I went with some Dimarzios which are ok, but not great. I think I would want to try some Seymour's in there next time if I get around to switching.

  Facilità d'uso

  The guitar is easy as pie. It has three controls knobs consisting of one volume and two tone knobs. One of them I don't use ever. I do roll off some of the highs with the back tone knob. I think it helps bring them down in this guitar. I heard another guitar player does this and it helped in his guitar and I have always complained about how bright the guitar can be. So rolling down the tone a by to around 6 or 7 helps quite a bit.

  Suono

  When it comes to the sound of a Strat there really is no other. I hear guys talk about finding a Strat sounding guitar and look to Suhr and Anderson and completely bypass the sound that started it all. The sound is everyone from Jimmy to John Mayor and in between.
  
  
  
  I use this guitar with an assortment of amps and cabs. Today I was jamming it with my Splawn Quickrod and vintage Marshall 4x12 with Blackback Celestion speakers. I had such a great tone coming from this setup. I love the tonal possibilities I get with this combination. It sounds so choice when I slap a Wampler Analog echo in the effects loop.
  
  
  
  I play rock music and this guitar is great for my style. I love Charvels and will probably put this guitar down when I get one of those. I prefer humbuckers to the single coils.

  Opzioni Generali

  This a guitar that I will have forever. Since it was my first guitar and very special to me I will never let it go. This guitar has such a great tone and feel that is hard to find sometimes. The neck is comfortable and just rips. My hands glide with easy with the bare oiled neck. If I ever buy another Fender Strat I will have someone take off the lacker on the back of the neck.
  
  
  
  I would recommend this guitar to any guitar player. Everyone needs a Fender Strat in their arsenal. A great everyday guitar and a players dream. So many tonal possibilities that will accompany anything musical genre from pop to modern rock.

  Caratteristiche

  Mine is a red American Standard Stratocaster made in the USA in the early 90s. It has the traditional Strat single coil setup with a 5 position toggle switch. Strats of this era were the first to adopt the new 2 position pivot point bridge/whammy bar setup. Mine has an alder body and rosewood neck. The pickups were the standard pickups from the era that Fender was using. I have more to say about the pickups later. I have to rate it a 8 out of 10 because the Strat design is a classic if ever there was one but I'm not sure that these 90s era Strats are really the best.

  Facilità d'uso

  When I bought it the neck played like butter. It couldn't have been better. It still plays well but I have had to make adjustments over the years to compensate for different string gauges.
  
  I believe the 2 pivot point whammy bar works more smoothly and easily than the original design but also has its drawbacks which I talk about later.
  
  The guitar has held up well over the years.

  Suono

  Over the years I have had the opportunity to compare this guitar to two 70s Strats and one Mexican Strat from the 90s. The American Strat sounds smoother and better overall than the Mexican Strat in all positions except for the bridge treble pickup position which lacks bite and life in comparison to the Mexican. The 70s Strats sound stronger and glassier to me in a way I can't explain which brings me to the issue of the two pivot tremolo system on the new Strats. I suspect that this system robs the guitar of tone somehow and have read where others agree.
  
  I have recently replaced the original 90s pickups with a set of vintage 57 reissue pickups and the difference is shocking! The 57 pickups sound so much smoother, sweeter, and more Alnico like but they lack the punch of 90s pickups and can sound mushy when the amp is distorting. The 90s pickups are punchy and modern sounding but also sound harsh in comparison to the 57s and respond differently dynamically to picking. I prefer the 57s. I'm still experimenting with other combinations including a 69 reissue pickup in the neck position.
  
  The moral of the story is that even though they look roughly the same American Strats from different eras can sound quite different from one another so shop carefully.

  Opzioni Generali

  I certainly recommend an American Strat because they are classic but my advice is to shop carefully and really compare the myriad of new and used models available because they definitely do sound different from one another. A novice may not hear the difference but if your ears have developed you can hear the differences easily if you do A/B comparisons. I also feel that new American Stratocasters have become too expensive at near $1,000.00 because they are actually quite simple assemblies once the precision parts are made so I would look for a used guitar.

  Facilità d'uso

  I've wanted a US Strat for a long time. The new 2008 standard model had a good reputation especially regarding neck playability and pickups. I bought it.
  
  
  
  I'm not disappointed... I'm actually very satisfied with the playing comfort. I immediately found it very comfortable when I tried it out at the store. Barre chords, bends, sound, everything is easy!
  
  
  
  Perfect weight and balance.
  
  
  
  The knobs feel very sturdy. They are sensitive and feel perfect.

  Suono

  The Stratocaster is THE most versatile guitar. And this version is not an exception. Except for heavy metal, it allows you to play everything.
  
  
  
  The clean sound is beautiful. The highs are sharp, the lows warm and the mids... in between. Positions 2 and 4 sound great and provide exactly the sound I was expecting from a Strat. Crystal-clear, clean, accurate.
  
  
  
  All three pickups provide a good distortion sound but they generate noise when heavily distorted! Notice that my system is not grounded, which is a serious mistake!
  
  
  
  As I already said, this guitar isn't made for modern heavy metal but I didn't buy it for that. For that music style, I would use a guitar with humbuckers. That's the reason why I also have a Washburn N2 and a Hagström Swede.
  
  
  
  But the Strat is stunning for clean, crunch and rock distortion sounds. Everything is possible: clean sounds (Stevie Ray), rock sounds (Strokes), fuzzs sound (Purple Haze)! This instrument provides a wide and particular sound range. A lot of guitars produce a similar sound but none of them sound exactly the same as a Strat. This sound has an inimitable depth and soul.

  Opzioni Generali

  I've been playing this guitar for only one week! I've wanted a Stratocaster for a long time and I never liked Mexican models especially regarding their playing comfort. With this American Standard I feel at home. Everything is easily playable, I have the impression of being able to play anything... or almost anything! This guitar has a strong personality, it's wonderful. Its finish is very good and I think it will sound better as time goes by. It was a purchase for life!

  Caratteristiche

  USA made Strat.. 22 frets.. 2001 model. 2 point fulcrum tremolo. 3 single coil pickups.."Deltatone" I think.. switched out the bridge for an HS-3... GREAT for lead.. but I will review the original pickup... which is very nice.. biting.. good single coil tone. 1 volume, 2 tone controls.. C shaped neck.. very sweet playability.

  Facilità d'uso

  Very easy playing neck. Like a glove. There are better necks out there (Ernie Ball Musicman. Sooo simple, but unmatched.) but.. not being a huge Strat fan previously.. this was a really nice surprise.
  
  Note access is good. I have had Ibanez, Carvin.. great bolt on and neck thru body guitars.. their access was better (obviously) but... this makes up for it in vibe. Just stretch that pinky!
  
  Classic design. Ergonomic.. but even though there are certainly more balanced and ergonomic guitars... the vibe compensates!
  
  Natural classic tones right out of the case. This is the guitar you have heard on thousands of albums.

  Suono

  I play heavy music... with the stock pickup... Mmmm.. I could certainly get heavy sounds, but they were accompanied by 60 cycle hum. I switched the bridge out with a Dimarzio HS-3 (Yes, kiddies.. I DID a review on it) which has served me quite well for balanced, noiseless hi gain tones. If you are using this guitar for medium gain or clean stuff... I would keep the original bridge pickup. Functions better with the middle pickup (sweeter) and certainly has much more character than the HS-3.. I just needed something upon which I could heap gain and get metal tones. The stock bridge is great for up to medium gain stuff... The mid and neck pickup stock are quite sweet. Relatively quiet for singles, and do their job... which is deliver sweet Strat tone. I got this guitar for 600 bucks... and honestly (and this is sacrilege.. lol) I like it more overall.. tonewise and comfort/playability than my 2500 Les Paul. (Don't shoot me) Using it thru a Voodoo Lab preamp, Digitech GSP2101 for effects.. Carvin T100 poweramp. Eminence Cannabis Rex cabinets.
  
  Favorite tones are hi gain (with HS-3) BUT I liked my hi gain tone with the original bridge as well.. truly.. a lot! The tones I still like with the stock p/u's are cleans. They reveal the complexity of tone available here.. I used to think "I would only buy either a Deluxe American or a cheapo Squier".. I thought everything in-between was not worth it. I consider myself proven wrong. Got a great piece of wood on this one.. and I would be heartbroken if I lost this guitar. "9" for solid, classic vibe, great tones, look and feel. Olympic white. Jimi would approve.

  Opzioni Generali

  Had this for 4 years. Love the sound and playability... have tried many other guitars, owned many other guitars.. including other AM Strats.. this is the keeper. Value for price, as always is relative. Some people pay 10k for a guitar that inspires them. I paid $599.00 for mine... (ha ha HA) Juuuust kidding. So.. yes, incredible value for the inspiration!
  
  I would certainly buy it again... if I could find the same guitar..
  
  A classic. Every guitarist should own at least one.
