    Advantages Advantages Classy charactered guitar.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not for speed metal fans, lack of a powerful humbucker.

    Fender has been known throughout history. They have had some of the most famous guitar players ever as their best advertisements; hence they need no television coverage or radio ads. They get all they need from the massive stars who stand, carefree in front of thousands of fans, playing the MOST famous guitar that will ever be built. It is an AMERICAN standard. The American Standard Stratocaster has every mark of a classic guitar, and more than that. It is not just a statement that you hold history in your hands, but a fact. Everything from the slight nuances of every guitar to the perfect ... more

    Advantages Advantages Tough, durable, wide variety of tones, ergonomic body, fast neck

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Hum and noise due to stock single-coil pickups

    Bought a maple-neck (with black plastic dot markers) sunburst Am Std Strat from Bentley Music in Kuala Lumpur in 1992 for RM 1 670. came with a rectangular hardshell case (not form-fit) with screw-type SKB hinges and lock (padlock not provided). Had to go through 7 guitars until I found 1 that had a flaw I could correct (faulty volume pot). This goes to say that all the guitars I tested had unpardonable flaws such as poor string-polepiece alignment (you lose power and definition), ill-fitting neck-pocket, badly-seated nut (you lose tone and sustain) or scratchy/poorly tapered volume and/or ... more
