What makes the Stratocaster such an individual guitar is the unique, intimate sound that comes from the three single coil pickup setup. Although they can be a little loud 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 outstanding fit and finish, with great attention to detail. I’m know others would agree I’m sure that the Fender Strat holds tuning exceptionally-extremely 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 Stratocaster as it just seems to glide smoothly, as well as 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 some modern improvements for example spacing, slot elongation as well as height screw length.The bridge has been designed to complement the 22 medium jumbo frets and rolled edges which gives you more space 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 Stratocaster is one of, if not the most sought after model of guitar speaks volumes.

I bought my Stratocaster on the net from Music 123, which is a fantastic site not just because of their prices, but the fact they are so in depth with their reviews. The items they sell are of the highest quality. My Fender Stratocaster was available with many finishes which include the wood finishes and colors and on top of that a number of optional knobs, tips and pickup covers.
