Fender Standard Stratocaster, MN, Lake Placid Blue

The Fender Standard Stratocaster is the most affordable entry into the world of 'Strat'. Classic tone, iconic body shape and a vintage Lake Placid Blue finish.

Timeless good looks and vintage Rock 'n Roll tone

With the Mexican-made Standard Stratocaster, you get all the hallmark features of an iconic guitar. A fast-action maple neck, a comfort-contoured alder body, three single-coil pickups, and standard synchronized tremolo all help define the savage rock tone of a Standard Stratocaster. Modern improvements include shielded body cavities help to reduce hum and ensure quieter operation.

The Standard Series Strat features a more modern C-shape maple neck with a satin polyester finish on the back and a gloss finish on the fretboard and headstock. Playability and the legendary Strat 'Spank' is all evident with this inexpensive, modern re-issue of one of the all-time greats.

Certified by legends like Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Mark Knopfler and Yngwie Malmsteen (plus countless others), the Strat has become a shining example of outstanding musical instrument craftsmanship.
