About the Fender American Elite Stratocaster
The American Elite Stratocaster is the US-made Strat that replaced the American Deluxe. It went on sale in 2016, though the earliest examples carry 2015 serials; the serial starts with US and two digits for the year, so US16 means 2016. The body is alder, or ash on Aged Cherry Burst and Tobacco Sunburst. The maple neck has a satin back, a modern C to D compound profile, a 9.5 to 14 inch compound radius board with rolled edges, 22 medium jumbo frets and a 1.685 inch (42.8 mm) bone nut; boards are maple, rosewood or ebony. The heel corner is rounded off, and the truss rod adjusts with a wheel there.
Three fourth-generation Noiseless single coils run through a five-way switch, master volume, a neck tone and a no-load tone for the middle and bridge. The S-1 button on the volume knob gives 10 combinations in all, including all three pickups in series. The two-point tremolo has a copper-infused bridge plate, with locking short-post tuners. Weighed examples come in at about 7.7 to 8.9 lb (3.5 to 4.05 kg), most between 8 and 8.3 lb; measured necks are about 0.83 to 0.86 inch deep at the first fret and 0.89 to 0.93 inch at the 12th. It comes in the Elite molded case with TSA locks, the arm, wrenches, strap locks, a strap and a cable. Colors include 3-Color Sunburst, Aged Cherry Burst, Sky Burst Metallic, Autumn Blaze Metallic, Ocean Turquoise and Mystic Black; a 2016 Limited Edition in 2-Color Sunburst has a flame maple top.
