The American Standard Stratocaster was Fender\u2019s core U.S.-made Strat through the late 1980s and 1990s. Introduced in 1987, it kept the familiar Strat format but updated it with a 22-fret neck, 9.5″ fingerboard radius, Bi-Flex truss rod, Micro-Tilt adjustment and a two-point American Standard tremolo.<\/p>\n
For Fender\u2019s 50th anniversary in 1996, the company issued a limited Anniversary American Standard series with gold-plated hardware, figured maple veneer top and back, vintage-style pickups, a commemorative neck plate with edition numbering, and a black tolex vintage-style case. Only 2500 were made.<\/p>\n
This example is number 1245 and comes in sunburst with a flame maple top and back, rosewood fingerboard and gold hardware. It has standard minor playwear, frets at approximately 95%, and is loud, resonant and twangy like a good Strat should be. Weight is 3600g.<\/p>\n
It includes period case candy and the original Fender vintage-style black tolex case with red interior in very good condition. This is a clean example of a mid-1990s American Standard with the added visual and collectible appeal of the 50th Anniversary edition, and a great guitar to boot!<\/p>\n
