Produced from 2000-2008 as part of the American Series, the American Stratocaster® was the flagship U.S. made guitar. Features included a modern "C" shaped neck with 22 medium jumbo frets, Fender-branded Schaller® tuning machines with staggered post heights for better string tension, a 2-point synchronized tremolo with stainless steel saddles, and three American Series single-coil pickups. This instrument has signs of use (swirling/chips) and comes with its original hard shell case.
