Hi all,

For those of you who love your American Standard Stratocaster but are looking for the look and feel of a vintage-style Fender neck, look no further. Our FSR American Standard "V" Neck Strat guitar has all the bells and whistles of our classic American Standard guitar, including a trio of rich-sounding single-coil Custom Shop Fat ’50s pickups. But now, we've added a sturdy yet comfortable "soft V"-shaped neck, which features a compound-radius rosewood fingerboard (9.25"-14") for ultimate playability for any musical style.

Check it out and give us your feedback. Thanks all!

This guitar is available only with a rosewood fingerboard.

Why not offer a maple-neck version? :idea:

Won't be able to say for sure until I play one. More than likely though, when I go to a dealer, I'll be told "NAMM"...not available, maybe May. :wink:

I think I will hit the guitar center and play one when they get in. Wonder if it comes with a vintage style case.

This is an option which is a long time coming. [They've had that 'modern C' on that guitar forever.] However, IMHO, vintage vibe means one-piece maple.

HSS is not the vibe for this guitar. You'll find plenty of that elsewhere, and current.

It's a 2-piece maple neck capped with a rosewood fretboard.

We're talking about a 1-piece maple neck/fretboard with black pearloid dots! :twisted:

Until you add a Tone Zone single coil-sized humbucker in the bridge.
