Fender American Stratocaster Electric Guitars
CBS purchased Fender in 1965 and the quality of Fender guitars quickly deteriorated. By 1981 a sincere effort was made to turn things around. Fender hired Dan Smith to produce an alder body, four bolt neck, 21 fret, small headstock Standard Stratocaster that has been called the Smith Strat. It was introduced in June of 2000 to replace the American Standard Stratocaster.
