The 1997 Fender American Roadhouse Stratocaster is a premium, USA-made electric guitar introduced as a core model in Fender's short-lived Hot Rodded American Standard Series. Built in Corona, California, this instrument is essentially an American Standard Stratocaster that came "hot-rodded" straight from the factory with premium electronics, shifting away from standard tones toward a punchier rock and blues sound.

Technical Specifications

• Pickups: Three Custom Shop Texas Special single-coil pickups. These are overwound for a hotter output, featuring a flatter pole-piece stagger calibrated to match the fretboard radius.
• Control Wiring: Standard 5-way blade switch with Master Volume, Tone 1 (Neck), and Tone 2 (Middle). Notably, it bypassed the TBX tone controls standard on regular American Standards of that era.
• Body & Neck: Select solid alder body paired with a maple neck. Necks feature a comfortable modern "C" profile with a 9.5-inch radius, 22 medium-jumbo frets, and a 25.5-inch scale length.
• Hardware: Fender/Schaller deluxe cast sealed tuners, standard American chrome hardware, and an American Standard 2-point tremolo bridge.
• Aesthetics: Standout premium visual traits include a distinct white pearloid pickguard
