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

The American Standard Stratocaster was Fender’s flagship USA model in 2011 — a perfect blend of vintage Strat heritage and modern playability. Built in Corona, California, it featured a comfortable modern “C” neck profile, rolled fingerboard edges, medium jumbo frets and a smooth 2-point tremolo system with bent steel saddles, while retaining the timeless look that has made the Strat the most iconic electric guitar in history.

This example is finished in classic three-tone sunburst with a maple fingerboard and has seen virtually no use. The protective sticker is still in place over the tremolo arm insert — a clear sign it’s been barely played. Frets and hardware are spotless, the finish shows almost no wear, and it plays beautifully with a fast, comfortable neck and classic Strat feel.

It has been tastefully upgraded with a full Kinman Zero-Hum Impersonator pickup set and onboard preamp, powered by a discreet 9V battery pack at the back. These boutique Australian noiseless pickups deliver pure Strat sparkle and chime without the hum, and the preamp preserves clarity and dynamics. The guitar is also fitted with locking tuners for improved tuning stability. These upgrades make it a superbly quiet, reliable, and stage-ready Strat while retaining all the resonance and feel of the original American Standard platform.

Supplied in a much older non-original Fender moulded hard shell case, this is an exceptional near-mint USA Stratocaster with premium noiseless pickups and practical player upgrades — ready for stage, studio or collection.
