Here for sale we have a Fender Standard Stratocaster HSS Plus Top in Aged Cherry Burst finish. Made in Mexico in 2018, this guitar features a bolt-on construction comprising an Alder body with Flame Maple top, Maple neck and 21 fret Maple fingerboard. Nickel/Chrome hardware is fitted including a Vintage-Style Synchronized tremolo bridge and Fender Standard/Sealed tuning machines. A trio of Fender Standard pickups are installed in an HSS configuration, with a Standard humbucker in the bridge and Standard single-coils in the neck and middle positions. These are wired to a 5-way blade switch, master volume, neck tone and middle tone controls. 
 
The Satin finished Maple neck plays well, with the Modern ‘C’ profile sitting very comfortably in the hand and promoting ergonomic thumb positioning. The profile feels smooth whilst providing an articulate playing experience. The Gloss Maple fingerboard is pleasant under the fingers and offers a tactile and durable playing surface. The 9.5" radius delivers a suitably vintage-inspired playing experience whilst retaining practicality for lead lines and string bending, further enhanced by the Medium Jumbo frets. The smooth lines of the Stratocaster body along with generous body contours are as comfortable and familiar as ever, ensuring that long gigs and practice sessions are a breeze.
 
The trio of Fender Standard pickups installed in this guitar deliver classic Stratocaster tones with some extra grunt from the humbucker in the bridge. The Standard Series pickups deliver bright, chiming Stratocaster tones, well suited to a wide range of styles and genres. The neck pickup is warm and round, with plenty of power to push your lead lines and solos to the front of the mix. The middle position is bright and clear, and is well suited to funky rhythm sounds. The bridge humbucker offers a hotter output, and can easily drive your amp into a saturated distortion tone. The familiar Stratocaster control layout is as practical as ever, offering comprehensive control of your sound right on the guitar.
