2017 FENDER SPECIAL EDITION STANDARD STRATOCASTER 

Decked out with elegant style, the Special Edition Standard Stratocaster offers upgraded components and aesthetic touches. The perfect addition to any instrument collection, it has all the familiar smooth sound and effortless playing feel you've come to expect from Fender. This top-tier performer's vintage-inspired aesthetics are sure to inspire you while playing.

For sparkling high end, increased output and vintage-style warmth, a pair of single-coil Strat® pickups in the bridge and middle positions is joined by an alnico 5-powered Tex-Mex™ neck pickup. From pristine cleans to gritty blues this pickup configuration can handle anything you throw at it, and it does it all with authentic Fender tone. The six-saddle vintage-style synchronized tremolo adds expression to your playing, covering everything from subtle shimmering touches to deep dives with ease while offering pinpoint-accurate intonation adjustment. The "C"-shaped maple neck with 9.5"-radius maple fingerboard is ideal for almost any playing style - whether played with the thumb over the neck or behind it, it offers a comfortable, fast and stable platform for your fret-hand gymnastics.

Vintage-style appointments include a tinted and gloss-finished neck, classic '50s spaghetti logo, 3-ply black/white/black pickguard and aged white plastic parts as a nod to the storied instruments from Fender's past. Packed with classic Fender style, tone and playability, the Special Edition Stratocaster is a true player's axe, and a great value for the working musician.
