MusicRadar’s verdict:

"Aimed at the gap in the market between the American Standard and the Highway One ranges, these American Specials succeed with value and tone in abundance. Wonderful necks, great sounds and a perfect price/quality compromise…"

Your votes:

"Fender American Special Stratocaster. The Tele is nice too, but I went for the Strat for its versatility. I used to own a Highway One model but the Special blows it away." (From Rob via email, thanks)

"Fender American Special range come in at under a grand. If US-made Fenders are important to you I'd easily recommend one of them." (Thanks, Mark)
