About This Listing

Selling a 1988 Fender Stratocaster here. This is a “standard“ Stratocaster from the early years of the newly formed Fender factory In Corona. This one features it’s original “gun metal blue“ finish and is in very good condition. There is some normal play wear to the body and neck including a few small dings and knicks, but overall it is cosmetically very nice. The guitar plays fantastically with low action and plenty of fret life remaining. The guitar is entirely original and ready to play out of the box. Strangely, the rosewood fingerboard end is a bit crooked (from the factory) but the nut is placed correctly so it doesn’t cause any issues with playability. includes the original molded fender hardshell case and trem arm. Please message me with any questions. Thanks

Product Overview
The first generation of Fender's famed American Standard Stratocaster was introduced in 1986, building upon the success of the company's vintage reissue guitars while offering some modern touches and a wealth of finish options. Upon first glance, these American Standard guitars might just look like any old Strat, but contemporary features like a flatter fingerboard radius, thinner neck profile and a refined, more contemporary tremolo system make these first-wave American Standard Stratocasters the first choice for a plethora of players over 30 years later. Available with both maple and rosewood fretboards, as well alder or ash bodies, these versatile instruments have held value and stood the test of time.
