Here for sale we have a Fender Standard Stratocaster in a White finish. Made in Mexico in 2001 this guitar features an Alder body, Maple neck and 21 fret Rosewood fingerboard. Other appointments include a 6-point tremolo bridge with Fender stamped saddles and Fender closed gear tuning machines. The pickups have been replaced with unbranded aftermarket pickups. Two single coil pickups are fitted in the neck and middle positions with a humbucker in the bridge. These are wired to a 5-way pickup selector, master volume, neck tone and middle and bridge tone. The bridge tone knob also acts as a coil-split push/pull pot.
The Maple neck plays very well, with the 'C' profile filling the hand nicely for a substantial grip when chord playing, yet remaining slim enough for fast articulate lead lines. The Satin finish to the rear of the neck is pleasant to the touch, and assists with smooth and speedy navigation of the 25.5" scale. The Rosewood fingerboard has a nice tight grain, and with its 9.5" radius provides a smooth, durable and practical surface for a wide variety of playing styles and techniques.
The unbranded pickups in this guitar offer a great versatile sound, they produce a mixture of sparkly tones with a hint of a darker undertones, whilst retaining clarity with each note. The humbucker in the bridge provides a full driving mid range with the best natural harmonic overtones, and a top end that produces a crunchy edge. The single-coil in the middle position produces a smooth single coil sound with more output and more mids, providing bright trebles and full warm bass, and lends itself well to rhythm tones. The single-coil in the neck position provides a warm, rounded sound, offering a smooth tone that handles distorted tones as well as it handles clean tones.
