Fender American Elite Stratocaster Electric Guitar, Maple, Sky Burst Metallic with Case (pre-owned)

Where Tradition Meets Innovation.

Designed for players who want classic Strat DNA with a thoroughly modern edge, the American Elite represents the peak of Fender’s forward thinking. It’s a guitar built to feel effortless in the hands, with refined playability and a voice that stays unmistakably Strat at every setting.

This example has been exceptionally well looked after and remains in excellent used condition. There’s no fret wear to speak of, only the lightest handling marks and surface swirl from careful use, along with minimal, natural tarnish to the hardware. No dings, no damage; just the subtle signs of a guitar that’s been played, not mistreated.

Plugged in, it delivers everything the American Elite series is known for: clarity, balance and versatility across the entire fretboard, with a responsive feel that encourages both precision and expression. Clean tones sparkle, driven sounds stay articulate and it adapts effortlessly to modern rigs and traditional setups alike.

If you’re after a Stratocaster that blends timeless Fender character with contemporary performance, this 2016 American Elite is a standout example - sleek reliable and ready for whatever you throw at it.
