FENDER STRATACOUSTIC (STANDARD)

  • Fender Stratacoustic

Overview

Brand name: 

Product: 

  • acoustic guitars

Series name: 

Dates of manufacture: 

1991

The Stratacoustic has been around since the early 1990s. These early 1990s models were made in Japan (there may even have been some made in the Fender Custom Shop like the first Telecoustics?) and had all wood bodies. Since then the design was changed to fibreglass bodies and production has moved to China and Indonesia and three models have been introduced: the Standard, the Plus and the Premier Stratacoustic. The Stratacoustic has the double cutaway Strat body shape, headstock design and  “C” shaped neck profile, this makes it an easy guitar to play for electric guitarists looking for an occasional acoustic instrument. This comfort, however, comes at the cost of a somewhat compromised acoustic tone. Early models had the Fishman Classic preamp, later models have the Fishman Isys III pickup and preamp system with built-in tuner.

Great guitar awesome price, if you bought it new at the year it first rolled out. I did and still own it. Is 2023 and just had it set up and upgraded the nuts bridge and neck. Zero dings or dents. Gig bag or case is sold separately.

If you find one of these..BUY IT! Built in pre-amp, tuner and EQ. Bolt on Strat neck with good tuners (not Fender). Mine is in gloss black. The body is fiberglass with a spruce top. Great finish and binding. Rosewood fretboard. Eventually I'll spring for a solid maple, like my Strat. This my 'go-to' recording guitar. Outfit with a good set of bronze strings, plug it in direct to your board and wow! They were made in China and are not available anymore. Bought mine several years ago around $300 Canadian.
