American Fender
What is the difference between a Standard Fender Stratocaster and an American Fender Statocaster?

I’m looking to purchace a Fender and I don’t want to make the wrong financial move, so what are the major differences between those guitars, and are they worth the $400+ price difference?

Fender Stratocasters made in Americas are known for more of brand name than specs, but I do agree that American Stratocasters do use better hard wares than the standard stratocasters made in mexico or squire ones.

However I recommend you get Stratocasters with humbucker on bridge position and wilkinson tremolos from other brands, because they tend to stay in tune better.

The S-1 switch is removed to keep it simple, but don’t worry-we kept key features such as the hand-rolled fingerboard edges and staggered tuning machines, and we added several new features, including: A new bridge with improved bent-steel saddles and a copper-infused high-mass block for increased resonance and sustain. A new neck treatment-tinted for a richer presentation, with the maple or rosewood fingerboard buffed to a high gloss. The back of the neck still has that silky satin finish. A thinner finish undercoat that lets the body breathe and improves resonance. A new Fender-exclusive SKB molded case. Two beautiful new finish options, Sienna Sunburst and Blizzard Pearl.

Whatever the reason, banjos are experiencing a huge surge in popularity. The FB-54 is Fender’s entry-level banjo, but it has features you’d expect in a much more expensive model-especially the mahogany resonator and neck, 27.4″ scale, aluminum rim, rosewood fingerboard with pearloid inlay and chrome-covered tuners.
