Description
Description
This second hand electric guitar is in good condition.
All works and plays fine. Cosmetic damage to the finish, including some dents to the body, cracks and missing finish to the body at the back of the neck.
The mid‑2000s Mexican‑made Standard Stratocasters occupy a sweet spot in Fender’s history: modern enough to feel reliable and consistent, but still carrying that slightly raw, lively edge that makes a Strat feel like a Strat.
Tone & Sound Character
Classic Strat DNA with a Modern Twist
The 2005 Standard Strat features the ceramic single‑coil pickups Fender used throughout the early–mid 2000s. They’re known for:
- A punchy, slightly hotter output
- Tight lows
- Clear, glassy highs
- A more aggressive midrange compared to vintage‑voiced Alnicos
Playability & Feel
Neck Profile
The 2005 Standard uses a modern “C” shape:
- Comfortable for most hand sizes
- Smooth satin back (before Fender switched to full gloss on later models)
- Medium jumbo frets that make bends feel effortless
Bridge & Tremolo
The vintage‑style 6‑screw tremolo is classic Fender:
- Stable enough for tasteful vibrato
- Responds well to setup tweaks
Aesthetics & Build Quality
Sage Green Metallic: Understated Elegance
This finish is the star of the show:
- A muted, slightly grey‑green metallic
- Looks different under every light
- Retro‑modern in the best way
Fit & Finish
The mid‑2000s MIM Standards were known for:
- Solid construction
- Clean fretwork
- Reliable hardware
Where It Excels
- Indie and alternative players who want a Strat with attitude
- Blues and rock guitarists who like a hotter single‑coil sound
- Players upgrading from a beginner guitar who want a serious, gig‑ready instrument
The 2005 Fender Standard Stratocaster in Sage Green Metallic is a fantastic example of why the MIM Standard line earned such a loyal following. It’s reliable, great‑sounding, comfortable to play, and visually unique. The ceramic pickups give it a modern edge, while the classic Strat design keeps everything familiar and expressive.
