Hello, I'm in the market to buy a Strat, and of course my first thought is to get the American Standard. I noticed that the string spacing was narrowed for the 2008 models.

How is string spacing measured?

How does the string spacing on the 2008 American Standard compare with a 1979 American Strat? How does it compare with the pre-2008 American Series? What about a mid-1990's American Standard?

Thanks!
Todd

Hi Todd, welcome to the Forum.

Well, well: I haven't bought a new American Strat since 2005 and I hadn't heard that the string spacing had got narrower.

String spacing is the distance from center to center of the two outer E strings measured at the bridge.

Frustratingly, I am at the opposite end of the country from my Am 2005 so can't measure that one for you. I believe it is the same as the older Strat I do have with me: 54 mm, 2 1/8 inch. But I can't be absolutely certain, so don't rely on that. I'm not finding a measurement for the current Am Standard - do you know what it is?

Cheers - C
