Although they can be a little loud at times and need time to learn to handle at high volumes, they do have an edge to them that is perfect for that rock n roll sound. They have a outstanding fit and finish, with amazing 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 great for me, which is an added bonus as well. You’ll sometimes find the factory settings on some guitars higher than you may want it to be. I chose a maple board for my Strat as it seems to glide nicely, 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 refined bent-steel saddles for an increased resonance and sustain. The saddles maintain that classic look and tone, but with a few modern improvements such as spacing, slot elongation and height screw length.The bridge is 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 lower friction and string breakage, while which improves the string break angle over the primary contact point. Other than all this the fact the Stratocaster is one of, if not the most sought after guitar speaks volumes.
I ordered 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 top quality. My Stratocaster was available with several finishes including the wood finishes and colors and on top of that a number of optional knobs, tips and pickup covers.
