Description
Left-handed players don’t often get the flagship treatment, but the American Elite Stratocaster changes that. It wears the familiar Strat silhouette while packing over a dozen updates under the hood, aimed at guitarists who want vintage character with none of the old compromises.
- Fourth-generation Noiseless pickups (bridge, middle, neck) deliver hum-free performance with the warmth and bite of a real vintage Strat tone, from glassy cleans to snarling overdrive.
- Compound-profile neck shifts from a modern “C” near the nut to a “D” shape at the redesigned heel, so bar chords and lead runs both feel natural up and down the fretboard.
- Ebony fingerboard with a 9.5″-14″ compound radius and 22 medium jumbo frets, topped with large pearloid dot inlays for a striking look.
- Locking short-post tuning machines paired with a synthetic bone nut keep tuning rock-solid, while the smooth two-point tremolo lets you add vibrato without drifting out of tune.
- Sculpted back and forearm contours hug the body, and the black chrome headstock logo adds a subtle premium touch.
The alder body wears a gloss polyurethane 3-Color Sunburst finish, set off by a 3-ply mint green pickguard and aged white soft-touch knobs. Controls include master volume with S-1 switching, two tone knobs, and a 5-position blade switch covering all the classic Strat pickup combinations. It ships in a redesigned Elite Molded Case with TSA locks, keeping this instrument protected on the road.
Whether you’re chasing spanky funk tones or full-throttle rock leads, this left-handed Elite is built to keep up.
