MusicRadar’s verdict:

"The original Fender American Standard (introduced in 1986) and the later American Series guitars (unveiled in 2000) were always about no-nonsense gigability. The 2008-released American Standards are no different. The Tele is a great performer, especially for modern rhythm styles while the Strat is a pro-standard, modern gigging machine."
