Fender American Standard Stratocaster LH Black RW

General

We offer offer a wide selection of electric guitars for left-handed guitarists, including the original Fender Amercian Standard Stratocasters. These are available with either a clear-sounding maple fretboard or rosewood fretboards with a slightly darker sound that is rich on trebles. Both these versions have three different, beautiful finishes. This is the Fender American Standard Strat with a rosewood fretboard and stylish black lacquer. The version still has all the important features of the original '50s models, but has been developed to stay with the times. This guitar also comes with a rugged SKB case, a guitar strap, a guitar cable and a polishing cloth.

The classic sound and looks of the American Standard Strat

If you buy an American Fender Strat, you're guaranteed to buy an instrument of professional quality. The body, neck and fretboard all contribute to playing comfort and the unrivalled sound. This version also features the classic three single-coil pickup configuration in the shape of special Custom Shop Fat '50s pickups. They produce a clear, wicked sound with a bit more bass and less protrusive mids than their predecessors. Thanks to its reverse-wound design, the middle pickup eliminates the typical 50Hz hum in the mid positions of the pickup switch. Striking details of this American Standard edition include its aged-white knobs and covers.

American Standard Stratocaster: modern improvements

The Strat has been virtually unaltered since its introduction in 1954, but Fender has kept it up-to-date, providing the neck of the American Standard Stratocaster with 22 medium jumbo frets, a two-way Truss Rod and a flatter 9.5-inch fretboard radius. The vintage-style tremolo bridge has also been modernised with just two mounting points so that the guitar retains its tuning better. New friction-free steel bridge saddles and a solid steel block add more tone and sustain, and the staggered machine heads allow for optimal pressure on the top saddle without the need for a second string guide, so there is less friction and a more stable tuning.

• Please note: new deliveries now include the Pro Series black case. It could, however, occur that you receive the ABS SKB case instead.
