Description
Our Take:
The American Elite Stratocaster from Fender is designed for the innovators; for the guitar players who want to elevate their craft. Three 4th generation Noiseless pickups provide unbelievable clarity of tone, and a Fender S-1 switch allows the player to activate all three pickups at once, for super high output. The compound neck profile, morphing from a modern C-shape to a D-shape, is super comfortable and sleek. And of course, the guitar has tons of classic Fender style, with a re-envisioned contour body and large pearloid dot inlays. The American Elite Stratocaster is meant to dazzle. Shown here in Olympic Pearl.
Fender's Take:
There is a passion within players at every level that fuels a never-ending pursuit of creativity and expression. The American Elite Series was born out of that same passion.
