Why We Love This Product!

A Super-sweet Deal on an American Strat!

Buy American! Okay, seriously, there are a lot of great foreign-made guitars out there (heck, we carry most of 'em) but there's still something to be said about the quality of a genuine, American-made Strat. And that's exactly what you get with this gorgeous American Special Stratocaster by Fender. Now, take a look at that price tag — can you believe it!? No, that's not a mistake, and we assure you, there's nothing at all wrong with this guitar; it's just a regular American Special Strat for a price any honest working stiff can afford.

This American Special Stratocaster's got that classic comfort-contoured alder body that's nice and light and will never drag you down. A traditional maple neck and fretboard keeps adds extra spank to your tone, and those jumbo frets let you bend with style. And this hot little number's also got a trio of Fender's Texas Special super-sexy single coil pickups and a "Greasebucket" tone circuit for tons bite and extra attitude. Top it off this American Special Strat with a vintage-style trem, and you've got yourself a serious axe at a ridiculous price.

Cheryl... Around here, none of us wear power ties, and power lunches are few and far between. But when the Power Rangers are unavailable, and PowerBall just isn't bringing the money home like you hoped it would, it's great to remember that the powerful GearNuts.com store is here for all your power adapter needs!
