I have a 1987 american strat that has the word ambrosia stamped next to the date in the neck pocket. Can anyone explain what the ambrosia means?

Some guitars especially the Custom Shop models have the names of the builders stamped in them. Might have been an inspector on an American Standard.

In any case, welcome to the forums.

In other words, you have found the legendary rice pudding Strat. They said it didn't really exist, but you have it within your grasp! Stop at nothing: own that Strat.

You won't be sorry - and you'll never go hungry.

Cheers - C

Actually, Fender got bored by just putting the builders name in the pocket. They started putting unique words in, and eventually a rare case of a profanity. How do you think this looked for Fender? So no more random words or names can be found in the American standards of the early 90s and 2000s
