Stratocaster Standard
Do i have to make any adjustments if i change the strings on my american standard stratocaster to .10 gauge? ?

I recently bought a american standard stratocaster and i know the factory specs are set up for .09 gauge strings. are there any adjustments i need to make to the springs and bridge and if so how do i do this.

Hello! Anytime you change string gauges you need to check the intonation, floating bridge position, and truss rod adjustments. Your American Standard probably did come with 9’s, so going up to 10’s will most likely require some tweaking. Check out http://www.fender.com/support/stratocaster.php for details on making these tweaks. Also, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GD7zXzkrdM has a decent visual on making truss rod adjustments on Stratocasters. None of this is rocket science, so don’t be afraid! Best regards, Dana

Fender Standard Stratocaster Maple $499.99 Fender Standard Stratocaster Maple The Fender Standard Stratocaster has earned the title "Standard" by being exactly that; the standard to which all other guitars are held and measured by. Whereas the 2009 Standard Stratocaster has received some aesthetic tweaks, adding subtle contemporary stylings to the instrument such as a tinted maple neck, "throwback" logo and 3-ply parchment pickguard – the heart and soul of the Stratocaster burns with the same fire it has for over 50 years. Famous for it’s ability to cut through a live mix, the Fender Standard Stratocaster features three ceramic single coil pickups, configurable with a 5-way selecter blade. The comfortable "C" shaped maple neck is tinted with a satin urethane finish, exuding classic vibes at first glance. Each Standard Strat color option is available with your choice of an all maple neck or maple with a rosewood fingerboard. Some say the Fender Strat helped to create rock n’ roll.
