今天介紹的是2012年Fender American Standard Stratocaster。
相較於2011年，2012年型號有幾個改變與提升的地方。吉他的琴身是赤楊木（alder），琴橋/顫音桿系統改為仿古折式琴橋（bent-saddle），並採用加大金屬block以增加延音。裝置三個Custom Shop Fat ‘50s拾音器，五段開關，一個音量（volume）、兩個音色（tone）旋鈕。22格、9.5”弧度指板、medium jumbo琴衍（frets），可選擇玫瑰木（rosewood）或楓木（maple）指板。
旋鈕（machine head）為Fender與德國Schaller共同開發，品質/功能非常穩定。琴頸中間有加裝玫瑰木飾條（”skunk stripe”），厚薄適中的C型琴頸背面弧度。琴頸與琴身採經典四支螺絲鎖定，細微傾斜調整裝置（micro tilt adjustment）可以微調弦與高把位琴衍的距離（透過微調琴頸與琴身接合時傾斜的角度）。
一開始彈奏使用琴頸（neck）段拾音器音色，接著是琴頸加中間（middle）段拾音器的音色，再來是中間段拾音器的音色，然後是中間加琴橋（bridge）段拾音器的音色，最後是琴橋段拾音器的音色。琴橋段拾音器的音色很清亮，但不刺耳。這是Custom Shop拾音器表現優越的地方。
接著是破音（overdrive）的音色測試。以下是使用的器材：Fulltone Full-Drive 2Mosfet、MXR Carbon Copy Analog Delay。
破音音色測試的順序為琴橋段拾音器的音色，接著是琴橋加中間段拾音器的音色，再來是中間段拾音器的音色，然後是中間加琴頸段拾音器的音色，最後是琴頸段拾音器音色。
吉他配有美國運輸安全管理局（TSA）認證的高級硬盒，安全可靠。
