Fender American Elite Stratocaster 2018 Satin Ice Blue Metallic Limited Edition w/ Case

Quick Summary:
Up for sale is an absolutely stunning 2018 Fender American Elite Stratocaster in a rare, limited-edition Satin Ice Blue Metallic finish. This finish is a true head-turner, perfectly complementing the pearloid pickguard for a visual depth you have to see in person. While Fender shifted to the Ultra series later on, many players consider the Elite to be the true pinnacle of their modern lineup. A huge reason why is the highly practical heel-mounted radius wheel truss rod adjustment mechanism—making setup tweaks incredibly quick and painless without having to remove the neck or dig into the headstock. This guitar pairs timeless Fender soul with 21st-century performance innovations, delivering versatile tones, exceptional tuning stability, and a fast, effortless playing experience.
