Fender Standard Stratocaster Aqua Marine Metallic

Classic Fender Tonewoods & Versatile Sound
Body: Poplar
The Standard Series Stratocaster features a poplar body with a gloss polyurethane finish that delivers balanced tone, warm lows, clear mids and crisp highs, while keeping the guitar lightweight and comfortable for long playing sessions. The Stratocaster® body shape is iconic for its ergonomic double-cutaway design, allowing great access to upper frets. 
Together with its classic single-coil voice, this body builds the foundation for the Strat’s signature versatility across blues, rock, funk, pop and more.

Elegant Craftsmanship & Detailing
The Fender Standard Stratocaster blends classic styling with quality appointments:

• Finish & Aesthetics: Gloss finish with a variety of classic colours (e.g., 3-Color Sunburst, Candy Cola, Aqua Marine Metallic, Olympic White).

• Pickguard: 3-ply pickguard protects the body and enhances traditional Strat looks.

• Hardware: Chrome hardware throughout complements the finish and ensures durability.

• Control Knobs & Switch Tip: White control knobs and switch tip provide classic Fender styling.

Neck, Feel & Hardware

• Neck: Maple neck with a Modern “C” profile offers smooth playability suitable for almost any playing style from rhythm to lead.

• Fingerboard: Maple fingerboard (some variants use laurel) with 9.5″ (241 mm) radius, balancing comfort for chords and expressive bending.

• Scale Length: 25.5″ (648 mm), the standard for most Stratocasters, gives balanced string tension and familiar feel.

• Frets: 21 medium-jumbo frets giving plenty of room for expressive playing.

• Nut: Micarta nut with ~1.6875″ (42.86 mm) width supports comfortable spacing for both chords and single-note work.
