A true slice of Fender history, this 1998 Standard Stratocaster pairs the timeless comfort of the classic Strat body with a deep, head-turning Midnight Blue finish. Made during Fender’s celebrated MIM Standard era, this instrument delivers the bell-like chime, snappy attack, and expressive quack that made the Stratocaster the most iconic electric guitar of all time. Whether you’re chasing clean funk rhythms, soulful blues bends, or singing lead lines, this Strat has the versatility to cover it all.
