The new USA Standard Stratocasters are beautiful to behold in looks, tone and feel. Fender have kept the alnico V pickups and staggered tuning machines for playability, hand-rolled fingerboard edges, tone and stability, and added these incredible new features:
- New improved bridge with bent-steel saddles and a copper infused high-mass block for increased resonance and sustain.
- A new neck treatment—tinted for a richer presentation, with the maple or rosewood fingerboard buffed to a high gloss. The back of the neck still has that silky satin finish.
- A thinner finish undercoat that lets the body breathe and improves resonance.
- A new Fender-exclusive SKB molded case.
- Two beautiful new finish options, Sienna Sunburst and Blizzard Pearl.
