Fender American Standard Stratocaster Electric Guitar with Case

The Fender American Standard Stratocaster Electric Guitar can be summed up in one word - Icon.
Not a word to be used lightly. But the American Stratocaster is just that. These updated American Standard Stratocaster guitars are beauties to behold in sound, look and feel. Fender kept the hand-rolled fingerboard edges, alnico V pickups and staggered tuning machines for playability, tone and stability, and added several new features, including improved bent-steel saddles on the bridge with a copper-infused high-mass block for increased resonance and sustain, tinted neck treatment for a richer presentation, and fingerboard buffed to a high gloss, though the back of the neck still has that silky satin finish. Fender also reduced the amount of the American Strat's undercoat to let the body breathe, thus, improving this guitar's resonance. And last but not least, Fender has reconnected with SKB to give you a stronger sturdier molded case.

Subject:Just purchased the Olympic White w/Maple Fretboard
Quality: I just received it a few days ago, but it seems to be very well made. I have looked it over and have found no flaws. The finish is excellent! The Olympic White is kind of a Pearl white which makes it look great!
Reliability: Since I haven't had it long, I'll have to get back to you on that. But with what I've seen so far, I doubt there will be a problem. Not to mention AMS gives an extra 12months warranty, which can't be beat.
Overall: As soon as I saw it, I knew it was the one for me. This guitar is beautiful and the tone is great, very versatile. Even better than I expected!
Playability and Feel: I owned a Les Paul Studio quite a few years back, and one of the main reason's I got rid of it was due to the weight factor. This one just fits me like a glove.
Tone: Seems to have great tone, though when I upgrade my Amp I'm sure that'll make it even better. I play more Classic Rock, some Country, Blues...so I'm looking for that smooth, smoky sound.
Finish: The finish looks excellent.
Action: Seems like the action is ok, I'm an amateur so I'm sure other's can review that aspect better than I.
Skill Level: Beginner
Do you own this product?: Yes, I bought it here from AMS
