Fender Strat American Standard Sunburst 3TS

Icon. Not a word to be used lightly. But the Stratocaster is just that. The new American Standard Stratocaster guitars are beauties to behold in sound, look and feel.

 

3-Tone Sunburst RW

 

We kept the hand-rolled fingerboard edges, alnico V pickups and staggered tuning machines for playability, tone and stability, and added several new features, including:

 

  • A new bridge with improved bent-steel saddles and a copper-infused high-mass block for increased resonance and sustain.
  • A new neck treatment—tinted for a richer presentation, with the maple or rosewood fingerboard buffed to a high gloss. The back of the neck still has that silky satin finish.
  • A thinner finish undercoat that lets the body breathe and improves resonance.
  • A new Fender-exclusive SKB molded case.
  • Two beautiful new finish options, Sienna Sunburst and Blizzard Pearl.
