Used 1996 Fender American Standard Stratocaster serial number N6183221.

This guitar is in very good condition, neck and frets are fine. Cosmetically there are 2 screw holes in front of the bridge from an installed and removed Roland synth hex pickup. There are a few marks and nicks about the body and some discoloration where the hex pickup was mounted. The price has been reduced accordingly.
Many American Standards had the TBX 2-band tone control. It appears that on this guitar it was replaced with a no-load tone control for the middle pickup. When that control is turned to 10 the pot is completely bypassed. In addition, the headstock has the 50th anniversary sticker.

Note:
In 1981, the American-made Stratocaster was renamed the Standard Stratocaster to avoid confusion with other models. In 1986, it was renamed the American Standard Stratocaster followed by American Series Stratocaster in 2000 and then the American Standard Series Stratocaster in 2008. In most cases, all of these Stratocasters can simply be referred to as the American Standard Stratocaster. As Fender's primary production Stratocaster, this model has stayed largely the same since the early '80s.

This is overall a nice strat, the imperfections as the result of the hex pickup have reduced the price and made this an affordable workhorse.

Hard-shell case included.

*Please note: we do our best giving descriptions of used pieces. We have found it impossible to describe every
mark on an instrument or amp that is not in the "mint" category. Also, what's important to you may not be important to someone else. For example, you may say, "I don't care what it looks like as long as it plays or sounds well." Another person may say, "Body cosmetics are very important to me so tell me about every scratch, nick and blemish." So, please ask the questions that are most important to you. If you ask they will be answered. They are free and there's no limit. Additional photos can also be made available.

This is a specific item that is also being offered for sale in our brick & mortar location. It is possible that it has just been sold. Please ask if it is still available before purchasing.
