What is it that makes the Stratocaster such an individual guitar is the unique, intimate sound that comes from the three single coil pickup configuration. Although they can be a little noisy at times and need time to learn to handle at high volumes, they do have a raw sound  that is perfect for that rock n roll sound. They have a distinguished fit and finish, with great attention to detail. I’m know others would agree I’m sure that the Fender Strat holds tuning very well. The action on my Fender Stratocaster was setup great for me, which is an added bonus as well. you will sometimes find the factory settings on some guitars higher than you may want it to be. I decided to go with a maple board for my Fender Stratocaster as it seems to glide smoothly, and a satin neck which is nice and slick. They comein a number of wood finishes, but obviously its all about your own preference. The American Standard Stratocaster includes a new bridge, with improved bent-steel saddles for an increased resonance and sustain. The saddles maintain that classic look and tone, but with a few modern improvements for example spacing, slot elongation as well as height screw length.The bridge is designed to complement the 22 medium jumbo frets and rolled edges which allows more space for your fingers . They have also elongated the string slot to reduce friction and string breakage, while improving the string break angle over the primary contact point. Besides all this the fact the Fender Stratocaster is one of, if not the most sought after guitar tells you a lot in its self.

I ordered my Stratocaster on the net 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 Stratocaster was available with various finishes which include the wood finishes and colors as well as a number of different knobs, tips and pickup covers.
