What makes the Fender Stratocaster such an individual guitar is the unique, intimate sound that comes from the three single coil pickup configuration. Although they can be a little noisy at times and can take time to get to grips with at high volumes, they do have an edge to them  that is perfect for that rock n roll sound. They have a outstanding fit and finish, with amazing attention to detail. Plus others would say I’m sure that the Fender Strat holds tuning very well. The action on my Stratocaster was setup about right for me, which is a plus as well. You’ll often find that the factory settings on some guitars higher than you may want it to be. I chose a maple board for my Stratocaster as it seems to glide smoothly, and a satin neck which is nice and slick. They do comein a variety of wood finishes, but obviously its all about your own preference. The American Standard Stratocaster comes with a new bridge, with refined bent-steel saddles for an increased resonance and sustain. The saddles keep that classic look and tone, but with a few modern improvements such as spacing, slot elongation as well as height screw length.The bridge has been made to complement the 22 medium jumbo frets and rolled edges which gives you more room for your fingers . They have also elongated the string slot to reduce friction and string breakage, while which improves the string break angle over the primary contact point. Other than all this the fact that the Stratocaster is one of, if not the most sought after guitar tells you a lot.

I bought my Fender Stratocaster on the net from Music 123, which is a great site not just because of their prices, but because they are so in depth with their reviews. The products they sell are top quality. My Stratocaster was available with several finishes which include the wood finishes and colors and on top of that a number of optional knobs, tips and pickup covers.
