Fender American Elite Stratocaster Electric Guitar, Maple FB, Ocean Turquoise

Arguably no electric guitar is more ingrained in modern culture than the Fender Stratocaster. Its contoured body, innovative tremolo neck, and trio of single-coil pickups combine to create a guitar that has been a favorite of players of all styles since its introduction in the 1950s. There are many innovations on the American Elite Stratocaster, making it one of the most modern Strats in its price range. The fourth-generation “quiet” pickups are wired through the 10-position S-1 pickup system.

The classic tone of an alder body and maple neck combine to deliver the punch, bite, and twang that Strats are known for. The Fender tremolo is better than ever on the American Elite, too, with a smoother response and a brass bridge plate for tuning stability, plus a variety of saddles for added sustain. The neck curve is matched, and the American Elite gives even the most seasoned Strat player a reason to upgrade.
