A HANDMADE ORIGINAL
An American Standard instrument is instilled with the spirit of the legends who’ve shaped it, yet it gives you the freedom to carve your own legacy. And with more than 100 steps invested into creating each instrument, the American Standard is handcrafted with our legacy in mind.
The American Standard isn’t just about who you are. It’s about where we’ve been and who you aspire to be. When you hold it, you know you’ve arrived. When you play it, you’re stepping into the shoes of your musical heroes. This is it–our handmade American classic.
It's the heart of Fender, our tradition of "made-in-U.S.A." excellence at its finest. It's the sound of modern music and the choice instrument of the pros. Put simply, it's 60 years of experience rolled into one incredible instrument—the Standard to which all other instruments are held.

JAZZ BASS®
THE AMERICAN STANDARD JAZZ BASS® IS THE SAME SLEEKLY VERSATILE, BEST-SELLING INSTRUMENT IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN, AND IT'S NOW UPGRADED WITH FENDER CUSTOM SHOP '60S JAZZ BASS SINGLE-COIL PICKUPS AND A STRIKING NEW JADE PEARL METALLIC FINISH OPTION. IT'S THE LATEST INCARNATION OF OUR TIMELESS, MUST-HAVE BASS HIT, AND IT NOW SINGS, SNARLS, GROOVES AND GROWLS MORE POWERFULLY THAN EVER.
BODY WOOD
AMERICAN STANDARD GUITARS AND BASSES ARE CRAFTED WITH PREMIUM ASH AND ALDER BODIES. SONICALLY, ASH IS SLIGHTLY BRIGHTER AND HAS A LOT OF POP, WHILE ALDER TYPICALLY PRODUCES THE MOST BALANCED TONE, WITH EQUAL HIGHS, MIDS AND LOWS.
NECK, FINGERBOARD
AND FRETS
AMERICAN STANDARD NECKS ARE MAPLE, WHICH SOUNDS BRIGHT AND HAS GREAT SUSTAIN, AND ARE SCULPTED WITH A COMFORTABLE MEDIUM THICKNESS AND MODERN “C” SHAPE. FINGERBOARDS ARE MAPLE OR ROSEWOOD, WHICH SOUNDS BIG AND WARM, AND HAVE A 9.5” RADIUS, WHICH IS FLATTER THAN VINTAGE-STYLE BOARDS. MEDIUM JUMBO FRETS DELIVER MODERN FEEL AND IMPROVED PLAYABILITY.
