The 1989 Fender Stratocaster Plus in Dakota Red with a rosewood fingerboard is a U.S.‑made electric guitar from the era when Fender expanded the Stratocaster platform with modern upgrades. It features an alder body finished in Dakota Red, paired with a maple neck and a rosewood fingerboard that carries 21 frets and pearloid dot inlays. The neck has a comfortable medium profile typical of late‑1980s Fender production, and the guitar uses a 25.5‑inch scale length with a synthetic bone nut.

Electronics consist of a trio of single‑coil pickups wired through a five‑way blade switch to provide a wide range of tonal options from bright, articulate neck tones to punchy bridge pickup sounds. Controls include master volume and two tone knobs, with the middle tone typically affecting the neck and middle pickups. The Stratocaster Plus designation often indicates upgraded pickups and hardware compared to standard models of the period.

Hardware includes a two‑point synchronized tremolo bridge with six adjustable saddles and sealed tuning machines, providing smooth vibrato action and solid tuning stability. The rosewood fingerboard offers a warmer feel and slightly mellower tonal response compared to maple‑fingerboard counterparts, while the Dakota Red finish and classic Fender contours reflect the design aesthetics of late‑1980s Stratocasters.
