What is it that makes the Fender Stratocaster such an individual guitar is the unique, intimate sound which comes from the three single coil pickup setup. You may find they can be a little noisy at times and can take time to get to grips with at high volumes, they do have a raw sound that is great for that rock n roll sound. They have a distinguished fit and finish, with amazing attention to detail. Plus others would say I’m sure that the Stratocaster holds tuning very well. I found the action on my Stratocaster was setup about right for me, which is a plus as well. you will often find that the factory settings on some guitars higher than they need to be. I decided to go with a maple board for my Strat as it just seems to glide nicely, and a satin neck which is nice and smooth. They do comein a variety of wood finishes, but it depends upon what is right for you. The American Standard Stratocaster comes with a new bridge, with improved bent-steel saddles for that increased resonance and sustain. The saddles keep that vintage look and tone, but with a few modern improvements such as spacing, slot elongation as well as height screw length.The bridge is designed to complement the 22 medium jumbo frets and rolled edges which gives you more room for your fingers . They have also elongated the string slot to reduce friction and string breakage, whilst improving the string break angle over the primary contact point. Besides all this the fact the Fender Stratocaster is one of the most sought after model of guitar tells you a lot in its self.
I ordered my Fender Stratocaster online from Music 123, which is a great site not just because of their prices, but the fact they are so honest with their reviews. The products they sell are of the highest quality. My Fender Stratocaster was available with several finishes including the wood finishes and colors as well as a number of optional pickup covers, knobs, and tips.
