This redesigned block retains the mass and tone of a vintage bridge block, but it is chambered for access to deeper dives. A typical cast bridge block is impregnated with a resin to eliminate voids in the material and to bond it together. Fender's new steel block is infused with copper, which makes the block 100% homogeneous metal. The result is a more musical, higher mass bridge that has more of that machined-block sound.The  case is a true advancement in guitar presentation and protection. It is stackable, balances perfectly, is TSA lock-equipped, and has glass-reinforced nylon trigger latches and a killer form-fitted plush interior. It's the perfect way to keep your American Standard Stratocaster safe for a lifetime.Fender American Standard Stratocaster Solidbody Electric Guitar Features:The classic Fender Stratocaster, value-packed with premium pickups3 Custom Shop Fat '50s single-coil pickups provide amazing vintage tonesHand-rolled fingerboard edges for a supremely smooth-feeling neckThinner undercoat finish for improved resonanceInnovative, copper-infused bridge block that is higher in mass for big toneMolded Fender case included with TSA locks, glass-reinforced nylon trigger latches, and form-fitted plush interior
