Fender American Standard Stratocaster Bordeaux Metallic RW American Standard Stratocaster Bordeaux Metallic RW

General

Those who want the one and only Stratocaster go for the American Standard models. These electric guitars were hand-built in the US and offer a combination of craftsmanship, modern high-quality components and the trusted features that many a professional and ambitious starting guitarist is looking for. The Fender American Standard Stratocaster (Bordeaux Metallic, rosewood fretboard) meets their every demand in a beautiful red guise. Compared to a maple version, the dark rosewood fretboard produces a warmer sound. A luxury case, guitar cable, guitar strap and polishing cloth are included.

American Standard Strat BDM RW: vintage and modern

Naturally, the American Standard Strat BDM RW has the unmistakeable Strat-type body made of pleasantly lightweight but highly resonant alder. In it, a trio of Custom Shop Fat '50s single-coil pickups is mounted. These pickups produce the famous Alnico V single-coil sound that is rich in twang and not too powerful mids with plenty of bass at the same time. A reverse-wound middle pickup takes full responsibility for the hum-free sounds in the pickup switch's positions 2 and 4. Twist the No Load tone knob all the way up to 10 and enjoy an extra raw single-coil sound. To ensure a stable tuning, this modern guitar was fitted with friction-reducing staggered machine heads. Quick and accurate neck-angle adjustments can be made with the Micro-Tilt at the heel.

Guitars and bass guitars from the American Standard series

The professional American Standard series comprises the most recent US-built versions of Fender's four most famous guitars: Stratocaster, Telecaster, Precision Bass and Jazz Bass. They all feature a quality ash or alder body, an average-gauge C-profile maple neck and a relatively flat maple or rosewood fretboard, as well as a reliable, sustain-enhancing bridge and (often) Custom Shop pickups for the classic Fender sound.

• Please note: new deliveries now include the Pro Series black case. It could, however, occur that you receive the SKB ABS case instead.
