What is it that makes the Stratocaster such an individual guitar is the unique, intimate sound which comes from the three single coil pickup configuration. Although they can be a little noisy at times and need time to learn to handle at high volumes, they do have a raw sound that is perfect for that rock n roll sound. They have a outstanding fit and finish, with amazing attention to detail. Plus others would agree I’m sure that the Stratocaster holds tuning very well. I found the action on my Stratocaster was setup great for me, which is a plus as well. You’ll sometimes find that the factory settings on some guitars higher than they need to be. I chose a maple board for my Strat as it just seems to glide nicely, and a satin neck which is nice and slick. They comein a variety of wood finishes, but it depends upon what is right for you. The American Standard Stratocaster comes with a new bridge, with improved bent-steel saddles for an increased resonance and sustain. The saddles maintain that classic look and tone, but with some modern improvements for example spacing, slot elongation and height screw length.The bridge has been made to complement the 22 medium jumbo frets and rolled edges which gives you more space for your fingers . They have also elongated the string slot to reduce friction and string breakage, whilst improving the string break angle over the primary contact point. Other than all this the fact the Fender Stratocaster is one of, if not the most sought after model of guitar tells you a lot.
I bought my Fender Stratocaster online from Music 123, which is a fantastic site not just because of their prices, but the fact they are so honest with their reviews. The products they sell are of the highest quality. My Fender Stratocaster was available with several finishes including the wood finishes and colors and on top of that a number of different tips, knobs and pickup covers.
