Fender American Standard Strat

[AbsoluteMonarchist]

i like the bit where he plays the guitar

[OranK25]

awesome guitar

[randomguitarstuff56]

I live my candy apple red American strat!

[stratdem]

Fenderfan if you want a strat that does everything i suggust you play a 2007 highway one strat thats even if you can find one. The 07 highway one strat is the superior strat over the american standard strat!

[stratdem]

Nice playing but! I would take a 2007 highway one strat over the american standard any day!

[PinkFloyde101]

Have if you guys could swing by my channel and check my demo of my strat i would be very grateful! I'm just starting this hole youtube thing and your support could be the difference :)

THUMBS UP PLEASE!

[fenderrfan]

@96Bluesboy Thanks my friend. I have not been on the tube all that much. Keep the fire burning!

[14GreenBall]

How much it cost?

[DarkHorizonEOS]

Fender stratocaster American standard sunburst 3 tones are awesome, I'll be buying mine in Canada for a cheap 800$ xD Brand new ofc

[nfn8]

All I can say is man you can play.

[fenderrfan]

@nfn8 Thanks. Just do it is great.

[fenderrfan]

@nfn8 Thanks. Just do it is great.

[tcstratman]

By the way, Nice playing and it sounds great.

[fenderrfan]

@tcstratman Thanks.

[tcstratman]

Why anyone would buy a Mexican Strat and then spend a couple of hundred bucks to upgrade the pickups? Just buy the American Strat in the first place.What little money you save , you lose in resale value. The Mexican Strat will never be worth anything. Plus you get a better quality guitar when you buy the American Strat.

[sean10anderic9]

I have this guitar and it fuckin rocks

[monkeyman2578]

hey man nice playinh btw but are there any downsides of this guitar?

[BP2611]

sounds like Eric Clapton snoring...

[DDInDaHouse187]

you bought the exact one i want, sunburst w/ the maple neck? nice playing, i want it sooo bad.

[fenderrfan]

@DDInDaHouse187

I hope you can get it.

[DDInDaHouse187]

@fenderrfan just got it a couple weeks ago, just like yours. i love it to death

[PeteAndJakee]

@fenderrfan same i want sunburst with maple fretboard and neck. i played one of these at my school but its white. i want a custom shop strat without relics all over the body. Same as yours.

Rock

On!

[fenderrfan]

Yes these are stock, Thanks

[Omiewise65]

Great tone ! What pickups are used in this vid ? Still stock pups ?

[gypsysunerainbow]

great feeling and sound

[MrBucketheadFan]

Is it possible to get a standard american strat with just 21 frets? I know it could be usefull to have 22 frets but i cant find any stantard strats with just 21 frets that are made in USA, but the standard stratocaster that is made in Mexico have 21 frets...

[Bpatzan17]

i have an american deluxe!!

and the american standard in my opinion sounds way better!!!

[fenderrfan]

Well so much can impact tone. Strings, amp, pedals and so on. Thanks

[crazyfreak1919]

@Bpatzan17 The cobalt pickups on the am deluxe sound way too thin.

[comedybenj]

@Bpatzan17 which one is easier for beginers

[stratman7000]

!yeah play those dirtly blues! awesome tone! Excellent feel'

[HahaVision]

On my strat, the E and B string on second and third fret are making kind of mute sounds, do you know what the problem might be??

[raisinbran360]

is it worth it to spend more on an american deluxe strat?

[fenderrfan]

I would take the time to play both. Let you ear be the judge. Don't be quick to decide.

[raisinbran360]

ok thanks. what amp are you using?

[topografer]

For me no, but you can't count on me can you? You have to try em out

[jack91xxxx]

great guitar and great playing

[frogboyokelley]

hey man, awsome pickin =) if u dont mind me askin, what kinda amp do u use?

[Jonademi]

sounds good .i have a new american strat two..go on joure good!

[OneBigHell]

What is the difference between American and Mexican Fender stratocaster?

[foirzie]

One is assembled in mexico the other one in america.

Americans are better and assembled with more quality material.

[OneBigHell]

Yes, I know that. but did enyone hear the difference between those guitars? I mean is it ok to give about 600-700 bucks more for almost the same thing?

[foirzie]

You can hear the diffrence very clearly.

And if the money isnt a problem i would save up a few more bucks and get the american one.

I had the same doubts, but i went to the store and tried out both, and the guy in the store was right, the american one is a whole lot better.

You get what you pay for.

[kudochop]

I have a Mexi Strat and it sounds just as good, or better, as an American Strat. A lot of the tone comes from the pickups you have in the guitar. I had one of the best blues players in my town play my guitar (fitted with the Malmsteen pickups) and he wanted to buy it on the spot; He thought it sounded better than his American Strats. With that said, the American models have better hardware, but you can easily mod your guitar.

[jdarkis]

I wouldn't recommend falling into that trap. The Fender USA line looks, sounds and PLAYS better than the Mexican line in every way. If you are going to swap out your pups straight away, you might as well save up for the American Strat or get into the Deluxe series with S-1 Switching and SCN noiseless pickups. I have owned Mexican and American Fender instruments and rest assured, there is no comparison between the two. USA is worth every penny extra you will pay.

[topografer]

i agree that you can make an average guitar (no hate here im just trying to make a point:D) sound great with some very good pickups. But better wood and better craftsmanship make an istrument to have better potential

[petar1987]

american stratocaster is the original. mexican is cheaper, and the sound quality between american and mexican stratocasters is not the same.

[larukulunaseas]

also the the American series features 22 frets...

[gkmaster25]

Well wood is wood. Maple is maple, the difference is the american stats are put together with more care. Most amer. necks come with 22 frets and mexs. come with 21 frets. also the frets are shave down to the wood on amer. necks and sometimes the mexs. necks have metal burrs on the frets which feels like it can cut your palm while playing. The elctronics are soldered with much care and the use top american parts. the mexs use a little lower grade.

[Soujurn]

What's the difference between a American Standard and a Squire?

You may as well ask what's the difference between a base model Chevy and Cadillac?

[MrGuitarAcoustic23]

I hear no diffrence to a squier and this. WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME!!!

(do not a - on me because i said what's wrong with me, i don't understand it)

[Hondengans]

First of all the recording never does good,

if you would hear it live you'll definately hear.

It plays better, it feels better, and it'll

last longer.

[larukulunaseas]

you have to play one to really see and hear the difference

[Peanut82RM]

The Amnerican standard stratocaster is beautiful version of Fender, made in nice woods, but they are not as the 1970 strat...

But if you are a skilled technician.. customized this strat.

I customised my fender american standard whith my hands, end you can listen the sound in my space (my videos).

The sound is Blackmore style or Hendrix Stile '70.

[Knowcaster]

now I know it; you must be deaf. A while a go you also say Hendrix was no good.... (-;

[Knowcaster]

sorry this was ment for MrGuitarAcoustic23...

[anubisblue]

@mrGuitarAcoustic23

don´t listen only on youtube.

compare the fender and squier in real.

on the same amp, same settings. you will hear the difference

[anubisblue]

@mrGuitarAcoustic23

don´t listen only on youtube.

compare the fender and squier in real.

on the same amp, same settings. you will hear the difference

[MINDBULLETS360]

squier doesnt have very nice tone wood, takes a bit of setting up, is shit heavy compared to the strat, you dont get a nice whammy bar on a squier to name a few pointers

[pfaaaa]

I think the squire is really just for learning.. its a beginners guitar.. you dont wanna buy a kickass expensive fender if you cant play shit.. so.. i think its just for learning.. then you are ready to move up to the real thing :)

[koyteSSS]

bravo..quanto tempo è che suoni?

[infiammesta91]

mi sembra di aver capito tre anni...

[koyteSSS]

ah grazie infiammesta

[infiammesta91]

i like the way you are playing because i like the blues...fuck the metal

[blahman178]

Im with you all the way infiemmesta91!!

[infiammesta91]

thank you...

[infiammesta91]

how much is it?

[fenderrfan]

If you go to musicians friend and look up Fender American standard strat. This guitar is a few years old. At least $800.00

[JMHACDC]

excellent playing sir. I'm currently looking into either an american strat or a gibson firebird. I already have a highway one telecaster and a gibson sg gothic. i love the blues but need a guitar that can do everything, is the strat worth the money?

[fenderrfan]

Thanks for you comment. As far as the strat being worth it I would say this. Guitars such as Gison Fender PRS and so on are great guitars. However I think their all over priced. You can buy entry level strats such as Squire for say $500. The Squire guitars are nice. With price you do and should get a nicer playing instrument. So depending on your budget, your style and level as a musician this guitar at $800.00 was a good choice for blues rock. Best of luck. Don't be quick to purchase!

[QuantumJohn]

is that 3 tone sunburst?

[fenderrfan]

This has cherry in the color.

[itamar133]

ohaly ... we play the fuc!<ing same

[mustangalex08]

[largeace]

[fenderrfan]

[lawsmich587]

Are those stock pickups, and what amp is that?

[fenderrfan]

Yes these are stock. Peavey Blues amp. Tube...

[BKDocHoliday]

i got the same guitar, its very smooth

[FenderForEv3r]

Yo that was nice!

Is that a mexican standard or an american standard? Thanks. I know that the title says "american standard" but the description says "standard".

Thanks

[fenderrfan]

It's the American true red white and blue. This is my daughters guitar. I haven't played the Mex so I don't know how they compare. This guitar plays well. The clip is what it is off of a basic digital camera.

[largeace]

wow! thats all i can say! you've got real talent man.

[xXAvatarofGuitarXx]

Dude, that was awesome, can you tab that??

[fenderrfan]

Funny, no this was made on the fly as are all of what I've posted. But heck happy to see your request.

[xXAvatarofGuitarXx]
