Hello everybody, I'm new to the forum and need some advice. I've been a Gibson player all my life, but I bought a Telecaster a while back, and now I'm looking to add to my little Fender family. I've grown particularly fond of this - http://www.dba.dk/elguitar-fender-us/id ... illeder/1/ - Strat, and basically I'm set to buy. Is there anything specific I should look out for?

The asking price is 5.000 dkr which is equivalent to 896$ - including hardcase. It's a 1989 AM Standard. I think it's a fair price, especially here in Denmark.

Cheers/Niels

Make sure the frets are good. Looks like a real nice Strat. Good Price also. Let us know what you decide to do.

Just my personal opinion:

'86 to '89 are amongst the best Fender strats made! (matter of taste, of course!)
Mid 90's are great, too.
Congrats to a nice find! :)

Price is OK!

US made Strat and my favorite is a '95 American Standard.

I bought it!

As relatively new to the Fender brand as an owner I must say, though, that I have played my share of Strats over the years. None of them has felt so right as this one. Maybe it's because of my new found interest of Strats in general or maybe this one just hits the spot. Either way I'm happy!

The tone is beautiful and I simply can't inderstand how I managed to get by without that signature clean tone you get from a Strat. This one, as my first Tele and Les Paul, is a keeper!

I'll post some pictures soon I hope.
