This 2003 American Series plays and sounds as good as it looks - with a speedy C neck and sparkly, traditionally stratty pickups. The Chrome Silver finish is particularly striking, and fairly uncommon.  With the added versatility of a beefy humbucker in the bridge and S1 switching options, this one would make an excellent stage companion! 

Many people prefer these older models to the newer Professional series, sporting the "Made in USA" logo missing on newer Fenders. This one feels quite nice - with an awesome neck profile; slim enough to be fast, still enough meat to feel like a Strat should. It features all of the typical modern Fender specs; 9.5" radius maple fretboard with 22 frets, alder body, sealed Fender tuners, and 2 point fulcrum trem. These older models come factory with nice solid saddles, which add a bit of mass and eliminate rattle sometimes associated with the bent steel style, and still sports the factory seal over the trem arm insert.

It is in good cosmetic shape, with some miscellaneous signs of use being 23 years old- however it looks quite nice overall. There is a bit of strum wear on the pickguard. The frets show some mild wear, however still have plenty of life and the guitar plays well with no fretout issues. This one looks very nice sitting on the stand, and is a real joy to play!

It has been polished and setup with a fresh set of D'Addario 9-42s yielding a very playable string height of around .060" at the 12th fret. This slick workhorse is all set to go!

Includes original Fender molded case.
