A rare USA‑made American Standard Stratocaster built in 2014 to celebrate Sam Ash's 90th Anniversary. Only 90 units were produced, all in Candy Apple Red with a white pearloid guard and HSS configuration. It's a stealth‑collectible American Standard with a factory custom spec and noticeably refined build quality.
If you want a modern, reliable USA Strat that also carries limited‑run bragging rights, this one delivers.

Tone
Classic Strat clarity in the neck and middle with a hotter, fuller bridge voice that handles gain without getting thin. The HSS layout makes it a true all‑arounder — clean sparkle, bluesy midrange, and a humbucker that actually feels balanced with the singles.
With only 90 made, this run shows a noticeably fine attention to detail and craftsmanship — the kind of smooth yet powerful USA‑Strat mojo you only get from a limited, purpose‑built batch. It feels lively, responsive, and more dialed‑in than a typical production American Standard.
