Fender Standard Stratocaster (3-Color Sunburst) is a right-handed six-string electric guitar. It combines a recognisable body shape, 25.5" (648 mm) scale and SSS pickup layout. The 3-Color Sunburst finish highlights the body contours and identifies this version in the SoundsGood catalogue.
Body, neck and playing feel
The body uses Poplar, the neck is Maple and the fingerboard is Indian Laurel. A Modern "C" profile shapes the feel in your hand. The 25.5" (648 mm) scale provides familiar fret spacing for chords, riffs and lead passages.
The fingerboard has a 9.5" (241 mm) radius, 21 Medium Jumbo frets and a 1.6875" (42.86 mm) nut width. These dimensions help you compare finger spacing, bending feel and the transition between lower and upper positions.
The Standard series combines a classic Fender body shape with ceramic pickups and a Modern C neck. It provides a practical starting point for home playing, lessons and rehearsals with suitable amplification.
Pickups and sound controls
The neck pickup is a Standard Single-Coil Strat and the bridge pickup is a Standard Single-Coil Strat. The middle position uses a Standard Single-Coil Strat. Pickup positions let you compare a rounder neck voice with a more defined bridge attack.
Controls: Master Volume, Tone 1. (Neck/Middle Pickups), Tone 2. (Bridge Pickup). The selector chooses individual pickups and their combinations. Adjusting volume and picking strength helps you balance accompaniment and lead passages.
Bridge and hardware
The bridge is a Standard 2-Point Tremolo with Satin Chrome Steel Block Saddles. Tuning machines: Fender Standard Cast/Sealed with Hex Buttons. The tremolo arm adds gentle vibrato. Correct string installation, stretching after replacement and an appropriate spring balance help keep its response predictable.
