Strat Hot

Are you looking to purchase or buy a Fender Standard Stratocaster guitar?

Are you looking for some advice upon which Standard Stratocaster is right either for you or for buying for a friend, perhaps for a gift for your son or even your daughter, or brother or sister or a family friend or business colleague?

Fender Standard Stratocasters, which are only made in the country of Mexico (MIM) - Fender Standard is the proper name given to a Mexican made Standard Strat. Therefore American Standard equals MIA (made in America and Fender Standard equals MIM. Some individuals prefer to simply call them Mexican Standard which is likely a better and more accurate way of describing them. These will have made in Mexico right on the font of the headstock except for certain vintage models, re-issues and deluxe models. The serial number in this case will start with MNx for the 1990's models and MZx for 2000 models, where 'x' in this case stands for the last digit of the model year after which there will be five or six further digits and/or numbers.

Let's look at this in some greater depth, for example a serial number starting with MN3 will then be a 1993 model and one starting MZ3 a 2003 model. These fairly typically will sell for about, give or take $390 to $450, this will include shipping to your door from online discount stores. Now and again you may run across a special issue where the price will be higher depending on the color options. If considering purchasing one of these, it really does pay to do some research first. Stock Mexican manufactured Standard Stratocasters usually sell in the ballpark region of $250 to $325 for these used stratocasters on eBay, making them very much so, a great gift idea, one which will no doubt be cherished for many years to come as well as giving many years of great pleasure to the end user, if not the ears of mum and dad! Much depends of course on model year and overall condition.

Certainly if you are patient, you will find a real beauty in this price range, although it is true to say that time waits for no man, so if an urgent birthday gift purchase, just have a look through the broad range of stratocasters for sale to find one which you like the look of. If it's a very recent model with no issues at all, it may be worth a little more than the figure given just now, however as I said, this is just a ballpark, a general guideline. You can also buy a brand new Standard Fender Stratocaster 2008 model shipped to your door for about $390 to $450, much will depend on the color. If you do not mind buying a used stratocaster, with a few minor scratches etc, you should be able to find one at around $300.

One point worth bearing in mind is that some of the newer Mexican made models, for example the Classic Stratocaster and the Deluxe Stratocasters and also the Fender Artist Strat can be much more expensive, but a whole lot nicer too, than the Standard Stratocasters and these will rival the American models in terms of sound, feel and overall quality.

Seymour Duncan Antiquity For Strat Texas Hot $76.95 The Seymour Duncan Antiquity for Strat Texas Hot is wound for added output and fullness. Like the Texas Hot, this pickup is both magnetically and physically aged to sound and look like a '50s pickup but with an added punch. Each comes with a specially aged cover. The magnets are calibrated and the coils are wound "top going" with north polarity, the same as the early vintage models. Each pickup comes complete with screws, schematics, and vintage "push back" cloth braid hookup wire.To some, this is craziness, intentionally creating an aged electrical component. But if you're like Seymour Duncan, and you appreciate the personal commitment and hand craftsmanship found in early electric guitars, then you'll want to capture that timeless beauty with an Antiquity pickup.top pickup length: 2.642"top pickup width: .615"bottom pickup length: 3.392"bottom pickup width: .908"total pickup height: .582"total magnet height: .705"winding direction: top goingmagnet polarity: north calibrated: yespickup cover length: 2.750"pickup cover width: .700"pickup cover height: .495"height adjustment: 6/32 oval head, phillipsmagnet pattern: staggered & raised above flatworkDC Ohms: 9.7Knductance: 4.08 henriesQ: 2.52

DiMarzio Fast Track Strat Pickup Set Black $174.99 The DiMarzio Fast Track Strat Pickup set contains 3 well-designed pickups: the Pro Track (neck), the Fast Track 1 (middle), and the Fast Track 2 (bridge). Easy to install, they'll bring a collection of jazz and powerful rock tones to your Strat-style guitar while reducing noise.Pro Track (neck)It's warm, it's friendly, it sounds like a vintage PAF and will drop right into your Strat. The Pro Track has enough power for any pickup position, and the twin black blades mean there won't be any problems with string-alignment or dropouts. DiMarzio heard from players who need to play some jazz numbers without switching guitars, and they say the Pro Track is an excellent neck pickup. If you install a push-pull pot, you can switch the coils from series to parallel, which will add a more single-coil type sound while still canceling hum. Fast Track 1 (middle)The Fast Track 1 is hot and muscular, yet still very bright and clean sounding - not at all like a full-size humbucker. The dual-blade continuous magnetic field creates an even string balance with very little magnet-pull, eliminating the "out - of - tuneness" common to rod-magnet designs. The Fast Track 1 pickup's power is double the output of a standard single-coil. The dual radiused blade pole pieces will handle all string-spacing requirements, and the magnetic field creates a very even string-to-string balance. It's perfect for any situation where single-coil sound with higher power and hum-cancellation is required.Fast Track 2 (bridge)It's not any bigger than a single-coil pickup, but the sound of the Fast Track 2 puts it right in the wide open, "everything - on - 11" school. It's got three times the output of an average single-coil, with a huge mid-range and bass punch and a strong resemblance to the Super Distortion. This is DiMarzio's hottest single-coil sized bridge pickup - particularly useful when you need a tightly focused jolt of power to crank your amplifier into rich overdrive. It's recommended for the bridge position of all Strat-style guitars. The dual-blade polepieces can handle all string-spacing options. Using a 500K volume control will open up the top end.Versatile collection of jazz and rock pickup tonesQuiet performanceGreat value
