Up for sale, a 1988 Fender American Standard Stratocaster in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original tweed hardshell case. This American Standard Strat features a number of modern, player-friendly touches including a satin neck finish, 9 1/2“ fretboard radius on the 22-fret slab rosewood fretboard, Schaller tuning machines, a two-point vibrato, TBX tone control, and gloss Pewter finish.
Featuring the classic tonewood combination of an alder body and a maple neck, this Strat has a clear, balanced natural acoustic quality faithfully captured by the original trio of single coil pickups. The alnico magnet single coils deliver plenty of Strat sparkle, spank and bell-like cut, the TBX Tone control further expands the tonal palette. From 1-5, the center detent TBX functions like a normal Tone knob, and from 5-10 it provides a treble/bass boost for added richness and sonic heft. This Strat weighs 8lbs 6oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.

Cosmetic wear on the gloss Pewter finish is limited to a pair of moderately-sized chips adjacent to the rear strap button, light buckle rush central to the back, and just a scant few minor dings on the body as a whole. The smooth satin finish highlights subtle flame figuring in the maple.
The original tweed hardshell case is included. A few stickers have been affixed to the lid by a previous owner.
