The Altitude Summary
This 2003 Fender Stratocaster HSS (Made‑in‑Mexico) in Olympic White is in wonderful condition. The rosewood fretboard is pristine, frets show minimal wear, and the gloss body finish gleams with no visible dings. Weighing in at 7.9 lb, it is not as heavy as many modern import Fender offerings, allowing for a more comfortable playing experience. Comes complete with original hard case and original Fender case candy in Excellent condition.
Sonic Bodywork
Crafted with an alder body (switched from poplar mid‑2002) and bolt‑on maple neck, this Strat delivers the classic Fender resonance—bright, airy, and balanced with just enough low-end heft thanks to the added humbucker in the HSS layout.
Equipped from the factory with a bridge humbucker and two single-coils (neck/middle), this HSS setup delivers hefty clarity, scooped mids, and punchy drive in the bridge. The original single-coil pickups use ceramic magnets for articulate tone, perfect for everything from clean rhythms to overdriven leads.
Effortless Playability
The satin polyurethane “Modern C” maple neck is comfortable, matching seamlessly with the smooth rosewood fretboard (9.5″ radius, 21 frets) for easy chording and soloing. The setup is spot-on—low action, smooth tremolo response, ideal for players seeking top-tier feel.
Vintage Vibe, Solid Craft
Featuring vintage-style synchronized tremolo with steel saddles and sealed tuning machines, this guitar stays in tune and offers expressive portability. The 11‑hole white pickguard complements the crisp Olympic White finish, preserving the Stratocaster’s famous aesthetic.
