Fender American Standard Stratocaster Sunburst 2013
Fender American Standard Strat, sunburst, made in USA 2013. The sunburst on this looks beautiful: the subtle alder grain, the warm amber, the rich red fade... it has a certain depth to it and really rewards close inspection. This is a later example of the ever-reliable American Standard series, so you get a slick satin finish neck, smooth and stable two-point tremolo bridge, sturdy tuners and crispy single coil pickups... all the Stratty things. It feels good in the hands; the neck is a very intuitive shape and never makes you work too hard. The tone is clear and sparkly, with heaps of quack on the in-between positions and a nice glassy sheen on the neck pickup. This is the classic USA Strat, so if you've been itching for one, it will surely do the thing.
