Modded out 2016 Fender American Elite Stratocaster. The upgrades include a Seymour Duncan JB Trembucker in the neck position, and a small switch to change between using the full humbucker, or as a single coil. The Pickguard was replaced with a black metallic guard. The original backplate was replaced with a clear one.
Over a dozen new innovations, such as fourth-generation noiseless pickups and high-mass, full-sustain saddles, conspire to make the American Elite Stratocaster one of the best modern Strats for the money. The classic tone cocktail of an alder body and maple neck provides the same punch, bite, and twang that built Fender's empire, but the expanded S-1 pickup switching system and comfortable compound-radius neck will give even veteran Strat players reason to upgrade. Fender's tremolo system is also better than ever for the American Elite, with a smoother response and a copper-infused bridge plate to help fight tuning slippage.
