Hello!!
I'd like to know the differences between American Stratocaster and Standard Stratocaster.
Looking at the pictures I can't find any difference (body, pickguard, neck seem the same).
Thank you

Don't look at the pictures, look at the specs.

The standard strat is made in Mexico. They generally use cheaper pickups, switches, pots, etc...to keep the costs down. The quality control isn't as good. You can still get a good Mexican strat, you just have to go thru a bunch of em to find one that works for you. The American standard is just a higher quality version of the standard.

Like they say..."you get what you pay for".

The Standard strats also don't have some of the upgrades the American strats have such as the better bridge.

'American' denotes USA built. Fender builds guitars in US,Mexico, Korea, Japan, China, Indonesia. Serial numbers denote country of origin and name will appear elsewhere on the instrument.
