2000 Fender American Standard Stratocaster Aqua Marine Metallic

 Summary: This 2000 Fender American Standard Stratocaster, in Aqua Marine Metallic, takes the best features found on the classic Stratocasters of the past and improves upon the other areas that could use some refinement. Some changes that were made include the addition of an extra fret (from 21 to 22), pickups with flush polepieces, Ezy-Glider string retainers and vibrato bridge with two screw mounts for added tuning stability, more Alder bodies, Biflex truss-rod, and the return of the four-bolt neck mounting. The American Standard is a true player’s guitar.
