A Fender Standard Stratocaster is a sensible value for beginning players and working professionals. It is constructed in Fender’s Mexican factories with cost-effective components that make it an affordable quality instrument. To the average viewer, it looks and sounds like the classic Strat. For the player it performs well, and until you have developed an opinion about your own preferences, it is excellent instrument at any level. For professionals, the price-point of the Fender Standard version makes sense when the security of your equipment is a concern. It is a work horse that does the job at a price that allows for customization.
Fender Standard Stratocaster Options:
The Fender American Standard Stratocaster is considered the standard of excellence by many throughout the world. The quality is irrefutably the best of the Fender brand and well worth the investment. The American Standard is constructed in the US, with superior materials and higher quality control than Fender’s Standard versions. The product is reputed to hold, and in many cases, increase, in value. Professional players – especially those who record – are sold on the tone quality of the American Standard, and coupled with their finer playing appointments, believe them highly worth the price. This is a guitar you love as is. For the price, you should not need to customize it.
Fender American Standard Stratocaster Options:
And then, the Fender American Special Stratocaster is the answer for those who really want American made product, but simply cannot justify the high-end price of the American Standard Strat. Constructed with less costly parts but high quality control, the Special is a great compromise with middle-of-the-road pricing that even allows room for tweaking by the customizing enthusiast.
Fender American Special Stratocaster Options:
The fact remains that Fender is a sound product at any price point, for any level player. City Music carries all three product lines. Stop in and compare for yourself, and discover the beauty of the Stratocaster at prices that can’t be beat.

Congratulations to the Leominster Music Booster guitar raffle winner, Sherry Cutler!
Sherry won a beautiful Fender CD60CE acoustic-electric guitar with a hard shell case, donated by Fender Guitars and City Music (a $429.99 value). The raffle was drawn at City Music’s FutureStars Showcase on April 7th, where several local teen musicians played for family and friends at the Bull Run Restaurant. Proceeds from the Showcase and guitar raffle will benefit the Leominster public school music programs through the Leominster Music Boosters.
Since 2005, City Music has donated for than $10,000 to the public school music programs in Gardner and Leominster. The benefits of music education has been scientifically proven through numerous studies; children who study music perform better scholastically. City Music is proud to support our local schools in providing music education.
Stay tuned for the the unveiling of the FutureStars’ proceeds, TBA.
A common question we get at City Music is: “Should my child start on an acoustic or an electric guitar? Shouldn’t he/she learn the basics on an acoustic, before starting electric?”
This is a valid question, and while we can’t say unequivocally ‘yes’ or ‘no’, we can give you pointers to help guide you.
Electric and acoustic guitars are essentially the same instrument: they both have six strings, they both are tuned to the same six notes. Beyond that, the electric/acoustic properties lend the two guitar types to different situations and different interests.
