General

A real Fender American Stratocaster will last you a lifetime. Fender guitars from the American Elite series have the look of a timeless Fender, but are innovative 21st-century guitars that really push the envelope of modern technology. The Double Action truss rod, locking machine heads, and 2-point Deluxe Synchronized Tremolo bridge ensure outstanding stability. Even though the American Elite series is busy with new innovations, they still maintain the traditional Fender style, which is also true for this Tobacco Sunburst with matching rosewood fretboard. If you want a traditional-looking American Strat with an authentic Fender sound, this guitar is for you!

The versatile Stratocaster Tobacco Sunburst

Ever since the '50s, the Fender Stratocaster has been famous for its versatility. This particular American Elite Strat is also very versatile thanks to the Deluxe Noiseless single coil pickups that give that classic Fender sparkle, but without the noise that's often associated with single coil pickups. Furthermore, the compound profile neck is designed for fast and easy playing, making this Strat ideal for all playing styles. The C-shaped profile at the nut turns into a D-shaped profile as you move further along the neck towards the body.

American Elite: for the real enthusiast

The American Elite series is the spiritual successor of the critically acclaimed American Deluxe series. Fender is building on their recipe for success with their American Elite models, but have added some unique innovative touches to the mix. All the American Elite models have a Double Action truss rod for easy adjustments, and both the fretboard and neck have a compound profile for optimal playability. Moreover, the Deluxe Noiseless pickups are a big leap in pickup design and are only available in this series. The Fender American Elite Stratocaster comes complete with a luxury Elite Case with an elegant silver lining.
