Fender American Standard Stratocaster - USA 1989

Here is a 1989 Fender American Standard Stratocaster in Graffiti Yellow, a beautifully preserved USA-built example that highlights the enduring appeal of Fender’s late-’80s production. The American Standard series marked a return to consistency and quality for Fender, offering a refined, modern Strat platform while retaining the familiar character players expect.

This example features an alder body finished in vibrant Graffiti Yellow, with a clean, glossy appearance that has held up exceptionally well over time. The maple neck carries a comfortable modern “C” profile, paired with a maple fingerboard that remains smooth and well maintained, providing an easy and familiar playing feel across the entire neck.

Equipped with its original trio of single-coil pickups, the guitar delivers classic Strat tones with clarity, sparkle and versatility. The 5-way selector, master volume and tone controls all function as expected, offering a wide range of usable sounds from bright, cutting bridge tones through to warm, rounded neck textures. The synchronised tremolo bridge and hardware remain in excellent condition, contributing to stable performance and consistent response.

Condition is excellent with only very light signs of use and everything functioning as it should. A clean and well-kept example that balances vintage appeal with reliable playability. Comes with its original Fender hard shell case.
