Features

The contoured alder body gives this Stratocaster the balanced response, comfort and resonance players expect from one of Fender’s most iconic designs. It sits naturally against the body, feels comfortable for long sessions and provides a versatile foundation for clean, driven and effects-based tones.

The Modern C maple neck is shaped for fast, fluid playability, with a satin urethane finish on the back that helps the hand move easily. The 9.5 inch radius slab rosewood fretboard, rolled edges and 22 medium jumbo frets create a smooth playing surface for rhythm work, lead phrasing and expressive bends.

Three Player Series Alnico 5 Stratocaster single-coil pickups give this guitar its wide tonal range. The 5-position blade switch moves from crisp bridge pickup bite to classic in-between sparkle, focused middle pickup tones and warm neck pickup sounds, making it easy to cover rock, blues, pop, country, funk, worship and more.

The 2-point synchronized tremolo with bent steel saddles adds expressive pitch control while maintaining a comfortable feel under the hand. Fender ClassicGear tuning machines, a synthetic bone nut and nickel/chrome hardware help support tuning stability, reliable performance and a traditional Fender playing experience.
