1995 Fender American Standard Stratocaster – 3-Tone Sunburst (USA) | Player Grade
A genuine 1995 USA-made Fender American Standard Stratocaster in classic 3-Tone Sunburst — a true working musician’s Strat from one of Fender’s most respected modern-era production periods.
Built in Corona, California, this era of American Standards is known for its rock-solid reliability, stable modern feel, and unmistakable Strat character. Expect articulate single-coil clarity, glassy cleans, and that signature “in-between” quack that sits perfectly in a mix without ever trying too hard.
This example is very much a player’s guitar — worn in the right places, honest in its history, and completely free of pretence. The body shows genuine cosmetic wear consistent with decades of use, while the maple neck and fingerboard display lacquer flaking and natural play wear. It has clearly been used as an instrument, not preserved as an object — and it wears that history comfortably. Importantly, it has no impact on playability and contributes to a smooth, broken-in feel under the hand.
Recently serviced and fully set up by our professional workshop, it plays exactly as a good Strat should: responsive, stable, and immediately familiar. It’s ready for stage, studio, or daily playing straight out of the case.
Condition & Character
A honest, well-played American Standard Strat with authentic wear throughout. The neck finish has naturally broken down over time, creating a fast, broken-in feel that modern relic guitars attempt to recreate. The body shows typical cosmetic marks consistent with a 30-year working life. Structurally solid, professionally maintained, and fully playable.
Includes
Original Fender moulded hard case (1990s issue).
The case shows significant cosmetic wear and is missing its handle. It remains structurally sound, and our workshop is confident of carrying out a repair prior to sale.
Workshop Setup

Playing smoothly across the neck with stable tuning, clean electronics, and ready-to-go action.
