The American Standard Legacy

Legendary Stratocaster Tone

The Stratocaster's three single-coil pickups deliver the most recognizable electric guitar sound in music history. From Jimi Hendrix's psychedelic explorations to Eric Clapton's blues mastery, Stevie Ray Vaughan's Texas tone to John Mayer's modern soul - the Strat has defined guitar tone across every genre. This American Standard delivers that authentic sound with professional-grade components and construction.

Versatility Across Genres

The 5-way pickup selector provides five distinct tonal options: bright, cutting bridge pickup for lead work; warm, smooth neck pickup for rhythm and jazz; and three in-between positions that deliver the famous Stratocaster "quack" perfect for funk, R&B, and clean rhythm tones. No other guitar offers this level of sonic versatility in such an elegant package.
