Hey Guys,

I really need some help here..!
I recently played a 1989 Fender Stratocaster Plus and i totally loved it!

Now my Problem:
I´m from Germany and i only can find some Stratocaster Plus in America, so shipping and other
costs are very expensive.

Now my question:
Is it also possible to create a plus like feeling and Sound by buying a American Standard Strat + Lace Sensor Gold Pickups and Schaller Locking Tuners?

So what shall i do?
Import from America or Mixing it up?!

Not so easy . Each guitar in same model could give different feel .

Another Strat Plus could not feel/ sound the same as the one you try . Or an American Standard with lace sensor cold feel the same than the Strat Plus you try .


Sorry you must try to find the same ( good ) one.

They also had a TBX and a hipshot tremsetter. With an American standard, you could make your own spec'd 'Strat Plus' with some small changes.

But if you want a real plus, then you will obviously have to buy one. They are really nothing too special and merely an American Standard with the obvious upgrades. No rolled fingerboard, no select woods etc..

Nothing special? I own both 2000 American Series and a 1995 Strat Plus Deluxe. The Plus is my favorite.

What I was getting at was that they are an American standard under the hood with the obvious upgrades. Deluxe bridge, Gold lace sensors, satin chrome locking tuners, TBX, Trem setter LSR nut... There is no select timbers or rolled fingerboard edges like the recent models..

If you mod an American standard to these specs, then you have an American Standard Strat, modded to be much like a Strat Plus.
