Fender Guitars

The Stratocaster features three single-coil pickups, a 5-way selector switch, a synchronized vibrato bridge, and body comfort contours, giving it a wide tonal palette with bell-like cleans and signature out-of-phase "quack." The Telecaster features a simpler, single-cutaway design with two single-coil pickups, a 3-way switch, and a fixed string-through hardtail bridge, delivering higher natural sustain, biting treble twang from the steel baseplate bridge pickup, and woody neck warmth.

Player II guitars are manufactured in Fender’s Ensenada, Mexico facility and provide exceptional build quality with modern specs like rolled fingerboard edges and Alnico V pickups at an accessible price point. American Professional II guitars are crafted in Corona, California and feature upgraded V-Mod II pickups, sculpted neck heels for upper-fret access, cold-rolled steel tremolo blocks for increased sustain, and deluxe molded hardshell cases included.

Tuning stability on a synchronized tremolo comes down to reducing friction at contact points. At Music Street, every Stratocaster undergoes a complete workshop setup: we lubricate and accurately cut the nut slots, set the 2-point or 6-screw bridge plate parallel to the body, balance the rear spring counter-tension to string gauge, and ensure string windings on tuning posts are tight and properly seated.
