(ARCHIVE) Fender Standard Stratocaster Modded Black 2010
- Description
- Guitarchives
Fender Strat Strat, black, made in Mexico 2010. Yep, it's modified... but heck, pretty cool. The Standard Series ran through most of the 90s/00s/10s and were generally pretty well regarded, so this has a comfy neck and decent hardware. The previous owner had this one professionally routed to accommodate some proper sized humbuckers, so that's fun. The sound now is decidedly raucous: thick and snarly with plenty of attack and midrange poke. There's a lot to enjoy here, and if you're looking for something to further experiment on, this is a good candidate.
