Fender American Standard Strat, blonde, made in USA 2000. When most folks think of a blonde Fender, the Tele comes to mind, but dang... a maple board Strat wearing a slightly transparent blonde finish is a beautiful thing indeed. This has a comfy fairly slim neck, a pretty lightweight body and the trademark sturdy American hardware, so it's unassuming and agreeable in the hands. There's plenty of zing and clarity on the top end, it's a classic Strat-sound with a nice balance of snap and roundness. It'll look good at your place, right?
