Fender American Standard Stratocaster
Aftermarket Price History
Used-market sales only. Brand New listings excluded.
The American Standard Stratocaster was Fender's long-running U.S. baseline, the reference-point production Strat for an entire generation of buyers. Its importance is not one flashy feature but the fact that it established the modern production template: dependable build quality, familiar neck feel, two-point trem and updates that got better over time without changing the identity of the instrument. On the used market, year counts because later revisions can carry meaningful spec changes, while condition and originality still do most of the work. It remains one of the broadest, safest used Strat segments because both players and first-time U.S. Fender buyers understand it immediately.

Market Report
The American Standard ran from 1986 to 2017 and is among the most plentiful American Strats on the used market. The $850–$1200 range is well-established. Late-production examples (2012–2017) tend toward the top of that range; earlier ones sit lower.
Reliable, unpretentious, and liquid. These are the benchmark used American Strat — if you're unsure what to buy, this is a safe choice at fair market. Easy to sell for what you paid if you bought reasonably.
