1990 American Fender Stratocaster Frost Red in color in very good condition. Some buckle rash and minor nicks/scratches which are shown in photos. There is a minor stress crack in the clearcoat at the neck pocket area typical for older strat Plus's. Fender HSC included. Awesome playing and sounding.  At some point a single string tree was added.  Frost Red was only used in 89 and 90 so somewhat rare color

If the name didn't imply, the Fender Strat Plus was originally released in 1987 as an upgraded American Standard Stratocaster, in particular boasting Lace Sensor Gold pickups, locking tuners, a roller nut, and Fender's TBX tone control system.

The Fender Stratocaster Plus model featured many unique design firsts in a Stratocaster. It incorporated a special nut that reduced friction when using the tremolo and featured locking tuners to increase tuning stability. The Strat Plus also used Don Lace’s new Lace Sensor pickups. Lace Sensors were quite unique in that they did not employ traditional magnetics to produce sound. Lace Sensor pickups therefore could be adjusted as high up to the strings as desired with no issue of string pull occurring. They also were virtually noiseless – the effect of having a humbucking pickup while retaining the tone of a single coil.

The Strat Plus models were  production-made Stratocasters and were quite a bargain compared to guitars made from Fender’s Custom Shop.

introduced in 1988 along with the Eric Clapton Signature Strat TBX tone control—which stands for “Treble Bass Expander” From 0 to 5, the TBX is your standard tone control, but once you pass 5 you start to decrease the resistance, which allows more bass, treble, presence and output to flow to your amp. The center detent in the middle is provided for the off or “flat” position. The addition of this unique control can add some tonal options to your palette. This can add some new dimension to your solo parts, especially if you are going for those bright, crystal clear Jeff Beck tones.
