This American Custom Strat is a tribute to Fender’s rich legacy, featuring a 2-piece select ash body that echoes the brand’s early electric innovations. The sumptuous roasted AAA-flamed maple neck not only captivates with its aesthetic allure but also enhances playability with its 10/56 “V” profile, ideal for navigating the 22 narrow-tall frets with ease.
