Fender American Standard Stratocaster w Noiseless Kinman Pickup Upgrade - USA 2011

Here is a 2011 Fender American Standard Stratocaster in three-tone sunburst with a maple fingerboard, a near-mint USA-built example that represents Fender’s flagship production model of the early 2010s. The American Standard series was designed to balance classic Stratocaster character with modern refinements, offering improved tuning stability, enhanced playability and a consistently reliable platform for stage and studio use.

This example features a professionally installed Kinman Zero-Hum Impersonator pickup set with onboard preamp, delivering traditional Strat sparkle, chime and clarity without the typical single-coil hum. The active system preserves dynamics and note detail while offering a quieter, more controlled performance environment. It is also fitted with locking tuners, further enhancing tuning stability and reliability under performance conditions.

The modern “C” neck profile with rolled fingerboard edges and medium jumbo frets provides a smooth, fast and comfortable playing experience across the entire fretboard. The 2-point tremolo system with bent steel saddles contributes to excellent responsiveness and stable vibrato action, while retaining the familiar feel and resonance of the American Standard platform.

Condition is exceptional, showing virtually no visible wear, with the protective tremolo arm sticker still in place. Frets, hardware and finish are all extremely clean, reflecting very limited use since new.
