Hi, I was having a look at American Standard Strats on the Fender website, and I realised they don't have an olympic white model with maple fretboard under 'other models'. I was looking to get this model when I eventually have enough money! I was just wondering if they have discontinued it for some reason?
Thanks

I 'm pretty sure that color with maple won't get discontinued anytime soon. I

What model are you looking for?

I'm gonna go for the American Standard Strat, olympic white, maple neck when I eventually have enough money! You see I was just wondering if they'd discontinued it as on the Fender website under 'other models' there isn't that model

While they don't have a photo of an American Standard in olympic white with maple fingerboard on the website it is still listed under the American Standard's specs.

My Jimmie Vaughn Strat is Olympic White with a maple board and it's a great guitar,the Tex Mex pickups are just great for the blues and/or classic rock.

I'll second that Jimmie Vaughan suggestion. Oly white/maple neck, American Vintage Trem (that means same width and screw pattern as the USA Strats) , Tex Mex pups, Soft V with 9.5 radius, terrific Strat quack and a terrific bargain at around 500 or less USD used available in excellent condition. These are Mexican made guitars but probably are up there with one of the best that comes from that factory. Basically an all USA spec guitar assembled in Mexico.
