1999 Fender American Standard Stratocaster Metallic Plum Purple Maple

Up for sale, here’s a very rare to find Fender American Standard Stratocaster in Metallic Plum Purple. Made in Corona, CA USA in 1999. In Very Good+ condition with a Gator Tweed hard case.

Excepts the case, all original and everything is stock on this instrument. Original and stunning Metallic Plum Purple with a 3-ply white (yellowed through the years) pickguard and Maple fretboard are a great looking combo. It comes with its typical Strat single coil pickups with 5-way switch.

Weight is 8.0 Lbs which is average for an American Stratocaster of these years, it feel pretty well balanced.

It has the typical modern “C” Profile with 11/16″” nut width. The neck is perfectly straight (truss rod works perfect as expected) and without any fret issues at all, currently professionally set with low action.. It really plays like a dream.

These American Standard Series were for decades what nowadays they’ve been renamed as “American Professional” (I & II), and with minimal changes, they’re all pretty much the same. They’re well known for being super solid and reliable workhorse for pros, getting the traditional Stratocaster tone at a reasonable price point.

This one in particular is one of those rare to find because of the color, weight and balance. Cosmetically, It has very minimal wear and light scratches due to its age, there’re only a few spots over the fretboard where the lacquer has fell off due to moisture or weather conditions, since there are clearly not visible dings nor cracks whatsoever int he wood, just superficially. Other than that the guitar is in great overall shape and 100% fully functional, the instrument is almost entirely free from blemishes and any other visual defects and it has been used or played with the utmost care. It comes with a Gator Tweed Hard molded case that is in Very good Shape and fully functionally with its case keys.

It will be professionally packed, insured and shipped out to Continental US only. Local Pickup in LA is also welcome at no cost.
