Fender Standard Stratocaster - Olympic White  

The Standard Series

Fender has developed the Standard Series for beginners: they are the most affordable guitars they offer and don’t contain any complicated features. The lower price is partially due to the fact that they’re made in Indonesia; prior models were either made in the United States, Mexico, or sometimes even in Japan. However, this doesn’t mean the guitars are lower quality, as Indonesia has an amazing reputation around building guitars. This reputation is so good that they’re often considered the best producers next to Japan. Moreover, for us in the west it’s a double victory, as Indonesian guitars are high-quality and more affordable. Additionally, all instruments have Fender Standard Series ceramic pickups and a modern C-shape neck which is incredibly comfortable to hold.

The Standard Stratocaster

The Standard Stratocaster is an amazing guitar for a great price. The guitar has three ceramic single-coil pickups. These pickups produce a high-output tone and are tonally very versatile. With the 5-way switch you can choose between five different pickup configurations. Additionally, the guitar is made of high-quality materials. The guitar has a poplar body which is very lightweight and produces a balanced sound. The guitar also has a micarta neck and a maple fretboard. This is a great combination that provides a comfortable experience.

Fender

Fender was founded in 1946 by Clarence Leonidas ‘Leo’ Fender. Their first guitar, the Telecaster, became a huge success, and they started producing other similarly popular models, like the Stratocaster and the Precision Bass. Nowadays Fender has a huge assortment of different basses and guitars, with different sounds, colours, and prices, so that they have something for everyone. Consequently, they remain one of the most popular guitar brands today!
