Fender Standard Series Stratocaster in 3 Tone Sunburst
A Classic Reborn for Today’s Players
Few guitars command the respect, affection, and sonic authority of the Fender Standard Stratocaster—and this model in 3-Tone Sunburst wears its heritage proudly while delivering modern-day versatility. With its instantly recognisable silhouette, iconic tones, and smooth playability, this Strat is as comfortable in a blues bar as it is in a stadium.
Crafted with a poplar body wrapped in that glorious sunburst gloss finish, this guitar sings with clarity and sparkle. Poplar strikes a superb balance—offering a resonant core with a slightly rounded edge, lending the Strat its signature shimmer and bite. The Modern “C” shaped maple neck is sleek, comfortable, and fast in the hands, while the Indian laurel fingerboard with 21 medium jumbo frets provides the perfect platform for expressive solos and detailed rhythm work alike.
Tone-wise, this Strat does what Strats do best—thanks to a trio of Fender single-coil pickups that serve up everything from glassy highs to funky mids and punchy lows. The 5-way switch allows effortless toggling between spanky bridge twang, scooped neck warmth, and that iconic in-between quack that defines generations of tone.
Want to add some drama to your bends? The 2-point tremolo bridge ensures silky-smooth vibrato and reliable tuning, while the sealed tuners and synthetic bone nut keep everything locked down and singing in tune. Whether you’re channelling Hendrix, Nile Rodgers, or crafting your own sound, this guitar is up to the task.
