This 1988 Fender American Standard Stratocaster in rare Graffiti Yellow is a standout example of late-'80s Fender USA craftsmanship.
Built in Corona, California, this Strat features an alder body, modern 2-point tremolo system, and trio of original American Standard single-coil pickups for that unmistakable Stratocaster sparkle, chime, and clarity.
The slim C-shaped maple neck offers fast, comfortable playability, while the factory Graffiti Yellow finish—a short-lived and sought-after color—adds bold vintage appeal. Whether you're a collector or player, this 1988 Stratocaster offers a unique blend of vintage vibe and modern reliability.
The guitar is 100% original with no repairs or issues. The truss rod was checked to make sure there is room for future neck relief adjustments. We were able to quickly get it to set up with perfect action and a little float on the tremolo.
The frets show light wear. Overall, the guitar is in excellent condition with less than average wear for the period. The yellow finish is hard to photograph with great detail - there is surface wear here and there - the guitar has been played, but it is in very nice condition.
Non original hard case included.
